Burns and blisters are easily avoidable in the kitchen when you’ve got a few safety gloves and mitts within reach. Just like work gloves help protect your digits from cuts and scrapes outside the kitchen, safety gloves and mitts cover you when you’re cooking or transporting food. Touching a hot handle or picking up a pan that’s been in the oven without wearing a mitt or glove is a mistake you won’t soon forget. Avoid the pain and embarrassment by always slipping something over your hands before moving cookware or popping something in the oven.
