Omnipresent All-Purpose Kitchen Towels
Chefs should also consider using omnipresent all-purpose kitchen towels. These towels offer great convenience, which allows you to shift skillets and pans from one cooking burner to another. Omnipresent oven mitts are of course the best solution.
You have to carefully test towels to make sure they offer you the protection that you need.
Also, towels should not be used to remove hot items from the oven. You may think that you are protected from the heat, and find out after you are half way to your counter that you are not.
So, can you use a towel as an oven mitt? Not really. To move some cookware around on the stove you will probably fine. But not for removing hot items from the oven.
Silicon Mitts
If you find it hard to work with oven mitts or do not have them, you can use silicone mitts. Silicone mitts are durable, elastic, and high-quality alternative mitts. The silicone mitts assist a person in performing various kitchen duties without any concern for hand safety.
Along with protection from heat, silicone mitts also offer greater grip.
Traditional Quilted Gloves
Chefs can also use traditional quilted gloves instead of oven mitts. The quilted mitts are easy to use. The cushioning effect of quilted gloves helps in maintaining a strong grip over the kitchen dishes, skillets, and pans.
Asteroid Mini Cotton Mitts
Asteroid Mini Cotton Mitts are an excellent choice and are made of 100% durable and high-quality material. Asteroid mini cotton mitts have textured surfaces, which allows people to cook more efficiently in the kitchen. They are available on Amazon and at many stores; grab them and bring ease to your kitchen.
