Comments about DEAN & DELUCA Ultra Oven Mitt:

I was very excited to receive two of these mitts as a gift, but I have been very disappointed in the design. The problem is that when you wear the mitts, your thumb is in an awkward position below your fingers, making grasping a baking pan almost impossible. Imagine your thumb position in a sock puppet - very difficult to pull a heavy pan out of the oven without the full mobility of your thumbs.

I slip the pads on and am confident that they will not slip or get too hot to
handle. Their construction is attractive- I picked up several comments over
the Christmas holiday and let my friends/family know where I had purchased
them. They are winners!
