When you’re pulling hot pans non-stop, a standard mitt just won't cut it. The Portwest CE164 is a proper tool for the job.

  • Top-Tier Materials: The Meta-Aramid fibre provides genuine, long-lasting protection against intense heat.
  • A Little Stiff: It needs a little breaking in to get maximum flexibility for trickier tasks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill Bakery, a bustling artisan spot in Perth, Scotland, decided it was time to get serious about staff safety. Their old, worn-out oven mitts weren't providing adequate protection against the heat of their commercial bread ovens, leading to a few near-misses.

"We were going through cheap mitts every month and  the team never felt fully confident. These Portwest gloves are in a different league entirely. The lads feel much safer, and  the long cuff has already saved a few wrists from a nasty knock on the oven door."

Ewan McGregor – Head Baker

Since switching, the bakery reports that minor burn incidents have been completely eliminated, and  staff confidence has visibly improved during their busiest morning rushes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Give the glove a quick check over for any defects before its first use.
  • Always make sure the glove is completely dry before handling hot items.
  • Flex your hand a few times inside the glove to loosen it up for better dexterity.
  • Remember, these are sold singly, so pop two in your basket if you need a pair.

Keeping It Going

  • Store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the materials.
  • To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid the washing machine to preserve the fibres.
  • Regularly check for any rips, burns, or significant wear and  tear.
  • For safety's sake, replace the glove immediately if the outer layer is damaged or compromised.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Heat Proof Glove

Not sure which glove is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to the essentials.

Temperature Rating

Check the maximum heat resistance. 250°C is excellent for most standard ovens, but specialist equipment like pizza or tandoor ovens might need more.

Cuff Length

A longer cuff, like on this CE164 heat resistant glove, is crucial for protecting wrists and  forearms from accidental contact with hot oven doors or racks.

Certification Matters

Always, always look for CE certification. It's your guarantee that the glove has been properly tested to meet strict European safety standards for PPE.

Check the Material

Materials like Meta-Aramid offer far superior heat protection and  durability compared to standard cotton or silicone mitts. They're built for commercial-grade use.

Dexterity and  Grip

The best glove offers fantastic protection without being so bulky you can't securely grip trays, pans, and  handles. Find that perfect balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this glove waterproof?

A: No, it is designed specifically for dry heat protection. Using any heat-resistant glove when wet will transfer heat very quickly and  can be dangerous.

Q: Can I put this in the washing machine?

A: We strongly advise against machine washing. To clean, simply spot clean with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the specialist heat-resistant fibres.

Q: Is the glove ambidextrous?

A: Yes, the 'one size' design is symmetrical and  can be worn comfortably on either the left or right hand.

Q: What does 'CE Certified' actually mean for a glove?

A: It means the glove has been independently tested to prove it conforms to European health, safety, and  environmental protection standards for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Q: How flexible is it for detailed tasks?

A: It's designed for a secure grip on pans and  trays. While naturally stiffer than a domestic mitt, it provides good dexterity for most professional kitchen tasks after a short breaking-in period.

Q: Why is it sold as a single glove?

A: This is common for professional PPE. It allows you to replace just one damaged or worn-out glove without needing to buy a whole new pair, which is more cost-effective.

Q: What exactly is Meta-Aramid?

A: It's a high-performance synthetic fibre known for its exceptional resistance to heat and  flames, commonly used in demanding applications like protective gear for firefighters.

Q: What is the benefit of a seamless design?

A: A seamless glove is generally more durable as there are no stitched seams that can weaken, split, or fail under stress. It also tends to be more comfortable to wear.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper bit of kit. Can confidently hold a hot gastronorm tray for much longer than our old gloves without feeling a thing. This is the best commercial kitchen safety glove we've found."

Mark T. – Pub Head Chef, Manchester

"Really solid protection and  the long cuff is a godsend. A tiny bit stiff when brand new, but it softens up after a couple of shifts. Would definitely buy again."

Chloe P. – Pizzeria Owner, Brighton

"Does exactly what it says on the tin. The CE certification gives us real peace of mind from a health and  safety perspective. Great value."

Sunil Joshi – Catering Manager, Leicester

Beyond Cotton: Why Meta-Aramid Fibre Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered what makes this glove so much better than a standard one? The secret is the Meta-Aramid fibre in its construction. Think of it as a super-material, closely related to the stuff used in protective gear for firefighters and  aerospace engineers. Unlike cotton, which just acts as a thick insulator, Meta-Aramid is inherently flame and  heat resistant. It’s engineered not to catch fire, melt, or degrade when exposed to extreme temperatures. To put it simply, a cotton mitt is like wearing a thick woolly jumper to stay warm – it slows the heat down. A Meta-Aramid glove is like wearing a firefighter's jacket – it's designed to truly block the heat. That's why this glove can handle 250°C and  is the go-to choice for professionals.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: For chefs and  kitchen porters constantly handling hot pans from the oven or grill.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: Essential for safely moving blistering hot baking trays and  bread tins all day long.
  • School & Hospital Kitchens: A must-have for ensuring staff safety during large-scale meal preparation and  service.
  • Pizza Takeaways: Perfect for pulling pizzas from scorching hot stone-deck or conveyor ovens without a fuss.
