These heat-resistant oven gloves can withstand temperatures up to 450°F, making them ideal for all cooking needs, including barbecues and outdoor ovens. The mitts are designed to resist flames for up to 10 seconds before ignition. However, once removed from the flame, any flames will quickly go out. To maintain their fireproof coating, clean only oven stains with a damp cloth. Washing the gloves is not recommended, as it can reduce their heat resistance and effectiveness.
