Folks, looking for a thin heat resistant glove that I can put latex over the top. Thinner and more heat resistant the better for dexterity when handling the meat.  Thanks in advance.

    Search for gloves on this forum.  Most seem to use latex or nitrile for handling raw meat then switching to heavy vinyl gloves (cheap at hardware store) for hot meat.  Heavy vinyl gloves can go in dishwasher.

    Thank you, I have tried the heavier vinyl gloves and the meat just slips out of my hands.  I have good latex for handling the raw meat though.  Good idea on the searching.

    I also find that the heavy vinyl ones are great for wearing while pulling pork butt.

    I've used these for quite some time.  Good for removing large cuts and for pulling pork.  They are either on sale, or have come down about 30% recently.

    If you will not be handling big heavy hot meat for extended periods of time, the cheap dishwashing gloves that you can buy at any Walmart or Dollar store work like a charm. They are cheap, pretty durable and offer fair heat protection. They clean up real easy as well. At a $1.00 for 2 or 3 pair, they are hard to beat. If you are handling meat in a restaurant or event type setting I would not recommend them. However for home use they are near perfect.

    Thanks. I've tried these for temps they work great. However they are slippery little fellows and I'm afraid to use them again.

    I haven't tried it but many peeps use cotton gloves with disposable latex or nitrile gloves over them.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    These work nice for handling bigger pieces of meat. I have a pair and like them but not for dexterity. Fantastic for pulling poultry off any kind of a standing sitter like ceramic or wire.

    I like my regular Pit Mit gloves and then use a silicone baking liner to grab the meat.

    Disclaimer: I should have read your post better before I posted-

    Answer:  check the local dollar store for "under" gloves. Work like a charm.

    what I originally wrote:


    To each their own correct?

    So with that being said, I took a comp BBQ class a few years back and a pit master (instructor) there had a thin pair of cotton/wool blend gloves with little r value and put disposable latex over them. 

    What it does is gives you the insulation, but also allows you a bit more precision mobility. I picked up a pair at the dollar store and used my disposable latex from Costco over them at an event and it worked fabulously- 

    The fancy, high heat gloves I have been suckered into purchasing are just a waste and hard to do anything in, especially get on and off.

    Good luck-

    Appears you may have already found the solution for you but you may want to take look at these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K1L9SAG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

    I bought those about a year ago and have been satisfied with them. They are textured so things don't slip around so easily and the longer cuff affords a bir more protection from heat when reaching in and grabbing/moving things around.

    The fingers are not too stiff to be able to have some dexterity but I certainly wouldn't want to perform surgery with them. :)

    Thanks. They look well insulated for handling the bigger stuff.
