High Heat Gloves

Mattman3969 · August 2014

I know it has been discussed before but what are you guys using for gloves to handle the hot stuff?? I have a pair of welder gloves that have worked well for 1 1/2 yrs but it is time to replace.

I have the big green egg glove but its not all that in my opinion.

Black leather gloves from the bbq section of Academy. $10 and have lasted me around 4 years. They are not total protection but I can remove a hot plate setter from my xl after a pizza cook. I get about 6 sec before my hands get hot at those temps. At brisket temps, no issues.

Nomex gloves, like the "Ove Glove". They've worked well for me for years. However, I'm very intrigued by the silicone gloves out there. They'd likely be superior for food handling. http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Five-Fingered-Protection-Versatility-Hassle-Free/dp/B00HLPXL80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408586008&sr=8-1&keywords=bbq+gloves

@travisstrick - that's about how my welding gloves work but for some reason when grabbing the wok handles it has been burning my fingers rather quickly lately. Maybe I am getting soft.

I think it depends on the material you're grabbing. I use Harbor Freight welding gloves, and if I grab the cast iron grill extender I have SIGNIFICANTLY less time than if I grab stainless or the plate setter.

Got these for Christmas 2 or 3 years ago. Works great.

I use welding gloves and I have a welding sleeve for when I wok. Works great for me!

Mattman3969 · August 2014

That'll work @NPHuskerFL.

+1 what @NPHuskerFL‌ said. If you buy on amazon, add a cheap something to bring order up to $35 for free shipping.

Skiddymarker · August 2014

I don't use gloves, but my Aunt who has a ceramic hobby (obsession) uses glass blowers gloves to move kiln hot plate setters.

She ordered from these folks

When I want to go into harms way I have these 2,400 degree steel workers gloves. Trouble is they are HUGH!

I ordered these today (similar):

I'm not sure I would handle a hot plate setter, but it is nice that they can handle both food and hot items. I have had other insulated food gloves but they would melt if you touched anything too hot. I will report back when I try them.

Mattman3969 · August 2014

Looking forward to your review. If ordering gloves happens like everything else I need to do it will be a while before I get around to it

jtcBoynton · August 2014

The two examples of silicone gloves are only rated to 425ºF. I wouldn't use them on a hot plate setter. Look good for handling other items that don't get so hot.

Sixpack1 · August 2014

I wear firefighter gloves they work great and are very flexible. Most fire depts throw away the old ones when they get new ones issued or use them for drill days and will probably give you an old pair...

henapple · August 2014

This is what I use. I ran around the house with a placesetter after a pizza cook. Nut up @Mattman3969‌

@Mattman3969 - not to hijack your thread - but this thread regarding the CI setter from @Ilrickman

http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1169861/cast-iron-plate-setter

had me thinking about moving a hot setter safely out of the egg. I have a shop grade Alnico magnet with 100# pull, good for temps to 1000ºF (maybe magnets quit magnetting when temps go up?).

Would it be possible to move a CI setter with a magnet?

Mattman3969 · August 2014

IDK on the magnet, that sounds like a Nola question to me

My gloves are fine for the PlateSetter but when grabbing the handles on the wok or veggie basket they are starting to heat up faster than when they were new. I really noticed after they got rained on( were dry when I used). I don't know if the water had anything to do with it or not. My dad use to work in at Alcoa Aluminum and they couldn't wash any of the heat/fire retardant clothing that they used. It was no longer retardant after washing.

TXNMD · August 2014

I got some very good gloves from La Caja China's website. Similar to welding but better lined internally internally

I would think so if the magnet is strong enough. CI is magnetic (or maybe I should say ferromagnetic as in the kind of metal a magnet will stick to). I only know this because I used it on an induction burner so I tested it.

Ladeback69 · August 2014

I have these below and I would love to use them, but my hands are to big for them. I bought them to handle meat while cutting it. They said they are making a larger set, but they aren't out yet. They refunded my money and told me to keep them. I also have a pair of welders gloves to handle the plate setter and grates.

Carolina Q · August 2014

I use some very old welders gloves. About once every 2-3 years. I honestly don't remember the last time I needed them.

GK59 · August 2014

RRP. I have the mitts. Smartest move I made . Welding glove like the ones I bought from a dealer in another state just don't work. Burn your paws enough and you'll wise up in a hurry.

texaswig · August 2014

I have so red camp chefs. The work good you just can't hold stuff too long.

bcsnave · August 2014

works like a champ

jtcBoynton · August 2014

I use normal welders gloves for most things. But for a hot plate setter, I use these firefighting gloves.

pgprescott · August 2014

Welding gloves for me. Same pair for years. They are a bit cruddy, but oh well. I recently got the claw for my large plate setter and now I rarely even use the gloves, no need. They only have them for the large, I think.

henapple · August 2014

Ah...the claw
