  • Con: It's sold singly, so be sure to order two for a pair.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Pie Co.' in Leeds were constantly dealing with minor steam burns when using their old, inadequate oven cloths to pull large pie trays from their combi ovens. They upgraded their kitchen protection to Burnguard Mitts to improve staff safety and  confidence.

"Since we switched to the Burnguard mitts, there's no more hesitation. The team can just grab the trays knowing they are completely protected from the steam and  any hot fat. It's made the whole baking process smoother and, more importantly, safer."

Robert Davies – Head Pie Maker

The switch completely eliminated minor steam burn incidents and  boosted kitchen efficiency during peak production times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Before first use, inspect the mitt for any defects.
  • Ensure it provides a comfortable, secure fit for the user.
  • Remember, this product is sold as a single unit, not a pair.
  • Assign to a specific, easily accessible station (e.g., next to the main oven).

Keeping It in Top Shape

  • This mitt is machine-washable for easy hygiene. Follow the care label instructions.
  • Always allow the mitt to air dry completely before its next use.
  • Regularly inspect the seams and  surface for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
  • Store in a clean, dry place away from sharp objects that could pierce the barrier.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Safety Gloves

Not sure which glove is right for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to ensure you get the perfect protection for your team.

Temperature Rating

Always match the glove's maximum heat resistance to the temperatures of your equipment. For commercial ovens, higher is always safer.

Length and  Coverage

Longer mitts, like this 18-inch model, provide essential protection for the wrist and  forearm, which is crucial when reaching into deep ovens or over hot surfaces.

Liquid & Steam Protection

If you work with steam ovens, deep fryers, or boiling water, a glove with a vapour barrier (like VaporGuard®) is absolutely non-negotiable for preventing severe scalds.

Material and  Durability

Look for robust, flame-resistant materials like Nomex®. They might cost more initially but will outlast cheaper alternatives many times over, saving you money in the long run.

Ease of Cleaning

A professional kitchen demands good hygiene. A machine-washable glove is far easier to keep clean and  safe for food handling environments.

How the VaporGuard® Barrier Keeps You Safe

Ever wondered why a damp tea towel feels hotter than a dry one when you grab something from the oven? It's because water and  steam are excellent conductors of heat. A standard oven mitt works like a woolly jumper – it traps a layer of air to protect you from dry heat, but the moment it gets wet or oily, that protection vanishes, and  the heat shoots straight through to your skin. That's a recipe for a nasty burn.

The VaporGuard® barrier in this Burn Guard Oven Mitt acts like a high-tech waterproof membrane. It creates an impenetrable shield that completely blocks hot liquids like water, oil, and  grease, as well as steam. This means that even if you get a splash from a pan or reach through a cloud of steam, the heat can't transfer through the mitt to your hand. It’s the key feature that elevates this from a simple heat-resistant glove to a comprehensive piece of safety equipment for any professional kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: For chefs needing reliable protection when moving heavy, hot cast-iron pans and  roasting trays from the oven to the pass.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: Essential for bakers handling hundreds of hot metal baking sheets a day, especially from deep deck ovens with intense heat.
  • Pizzerias: A must-have for safely handling pizza stones, steel peels, and  deep-dish pans straight from blisteringly hot pizza ovens.
  • School & Hospital Caterers: To ensure staff are fully protected when handling large gastronorm containers from steamers and  regeneration ovens.
