Expert Review and Insights
You can spot a pro kitchen by its gear, and proper hand protection is non-negotiable. These gloves from Buffalo strike a brilliant balance. They’re not as cumbersome as some heavy-duty mitts, which is great for dexterity, but they still provide the heat protection you need for grabbing standard ovenware. The grip is a particularly thoughtful touch for busy services.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Best Feature: The rubberised palm grip gives you brilliant confidence with heavy trays.
- Consideration: Best for intermittent contact, not for holding extremely hot cast iron.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy tearoom in the heart of the Cotswolds, needed to standardise their PPE after staff complained their old mitts were clumsy and wearing out too quickly.
"We were getting through so many pairs of cheap oven gloves that were either too stiff or didn't last. The Buffalo gloves have been a real improvement; the team feels safer, and the grip is fantastic for moving our heavy teapots and scone trays."
Robert Mills – Proprietor
The simple switch has noticeably improved kitchen workflow and completely eliminated the minor contact burns that occasionally slowed down service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- These gloves are ready to use right out of the packaging.
- Ensure you've selected the correct size for a snug but not tight fit.
- Brief your staff on their heat limitations – they're for intermittent contact, not holding hot items for prolonged periods.
- Assign pairs to specific stations or staff members to encourage accountability and care.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing which can degrade the materials.
- Regularly inspect the gloves for any holes, tears, or worn-out areas and replace if damaged.
- If the gloves become wet, allow them to dry completely before use, as moisture conducts heat.
- Store them in a dry, accessible place away from direct heat sources or sharp objects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these gloves waterproof?
A: No, they are made from cotton and are not waterproof. They should be kept dry to ensure optimal heat protection, as moisture conducts heat.
Q: Can I wash these in a washing machine?
A: We recommend wiping them clean with a damp cloth to preserve the material's integrity and the effectiveness of the heat-resistant properties.
Q: What is the maximum temperature these gloves can handle?
A: They are designed for intermittent, short-term contact with hot ovenware from standard commercial ovens, not for prolonged high-heat or open-flame contact.
Q: Do these heat proof kitchen gloves come in other sizes?
A: This specific model is size Medium (BB139-M). Other sizes and styles are available within the Buffalo catering equipment range.
Q: Is there a left and right glove, or are they ambidextrous?
A: These gloves are designed to be worn on either hand for maximum convenience and speed in a busy kitchen.
Q: How flexible are they?
A: The cotton construction offers excellent flexibility and dexterity, especially when compared to stiffer, bulkier silicone or neoprene mitts.
Q: Do the black commercial oven gloves fade over time?
A: With proper care, the colour will remain smart and professional. As with any fabric product, some minor fading with very heavy use over a long period is normal.
Q: Is the rubber grip heat resistant too?
A: Yes, the rubberised palm is specifically designed to withstand the same intermittent heat as the rest of the glove, ensuring a safe grip.

Explore more from DennysMore Than Just Protection: Why Rubberised Palms Matter
Ever tried to pick up a heavy, slightly greasy roasting tin with a standard fabric oven glove? It can feel like a disaster waiting to happen. The rubberised pattern on the palms of these professional heat resistant gloves acts like the tread on a car tyre. It creates extra friction and channels away any minor grease, giving you a firm, confident hold where a simple fabric surface might slip. This means less chance of spills, dropped food, and dangerous accidents, especially when you're moving quickly during a hectic service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Local Restaurants & Pubs: An essential for chefs pulling lasagnes, pies, and roasted joints from the commercial oven.
- Bakeries & Patisseries: Perfect for safely handling hot bread tins, cake pans, and trays of delicate pastries.
- School & University Canteens: Ideal for protecting kitchen staff when serving hundreds of meals from large-scale catering equipment.
- Pizza & Takeaway Kitchens: A must-have for moving hot pizza pans and foil containers in a fast-paced environment.
