These work great you do not feel any heat at all and they are easy to clean. I have been using these and love them, great for BBQ and rotisserie chicken. You can grab the chicken, turn the ribs without the need of silverware. They feel good and have a great grip, but the best part is they are so easy to clean. You can use these for so many things hot, cold, dry and wet. These can withstand up to 425 degrees heat your hands will be safe in these.
