These mitts are super! Supple enough to respond to finger bends (unlike the Orca) while providing serious heat protection. I don't understand why the 15" is $10 more expensive, though. I'm glad I bought two.

great grip, exellent heat repellent, just i prefer the 15 inch as it protects even more of your arm when reaching back into the oven.

Trying to get a hot pie out of the oven with one of those silicone trivet --also potholders -- is tempting fate ... Have I got it -- or not. Ded Kool-tek Oven Mitt is just what they said cool and you can feel that all is well.

Buyers beware: if you want a PAIR of mitts you need to order TWO mitts separately. Just bought this product and when my box arrived, there was only ONE oven mitt inside. I assumed that the price I paid was for ONE PAIR of mitts not one mitt. (I was suprised since I paid $9 to ship it and it weighs like 2 ounces). I think AMAZON could make this clearer on their site. Product is great.

As a serious cook with a big oven I needed a serious oven mit, not some cutsy kitchen glove filled with cotton that scorches and gets damp at the first hint of fire or water, leading to burns. This mit is it!!! I've had mine for years and it's as good as new. I can reach way back to the back of my oven to kick start the convection machinery without burning my arm. I can pick up heavy hot things with no fears at all. It's machine washable. No worry that after a few washings the glove won't work. If you are a cook, serious or otherwise, this mit decreases your risk of burns and dropping hot pots. Most other mits can fool you by looking protective long after they are actually effective. This one is the real deal. Worth the price and more.
