Now, if only someone can find me some elbow-length oven mitts. I’m the first to admit that my husband is right about me being a bit of a klutz (even if he does exaggerate a little). But of course, I can’t hide the turkey pan scars halfway between my elbows and my wrists. But hey, at least I’m a pretty good cook :)

These are adorable - I love finding beautiful versions of something utilitarian because it makes everyday tasks so much more enjoyable.

@Jess - by the way, I found some silicone mitts that come in petite sizes via 3Luxe - http://www.3luxe.com/best_ofs/Oven_Mitts/Orka_Silicone_Oven_Mitt

Hope that helps!

I do have a question for oven mitt manufacturers: why don’t they make oven mitts to fit women’s hands? Most are so large that I am more likely to get burned from losing my grip than anything else. I notice one person commented that silicon mitts are smaller, any other tips?

I just LOVE the new kitchen line from Dwell Studios, available at Target right now! They have oven mitts and matching pot holders! The light blue is great! Target Dwell Oven Mitt
It’s much more awesome in person!

We do English Language Camps in Eastern Europe. Teachers in each of the four countries where we do the camps will be helping us with translation in the classroom. Our gift to them will be a kitchen angel (made with kitchen towel, wash cloth and oven mitt or hot pad). I am searching for oven mitts and hot pads. Is there any possiblity of our mission organizagtion getting oven mitts or hot pads from you as a donation, reduced rate, or maybe buying overstock at a reduced rate. I am in need of 50 oven mitts or hot pads. Thank you for considering this request. I have been doing Language Camps in Russia since 1996.
