In a pro kitchen, confidence is everything. These Matfer gloves provide exactly that. They feel substantial from the moment you put them on, a world away from domestic mitts.

  • Top-Tier Protection: The elbow-length coverage is superb for reaching into deep deck ovens.
  • Initial Stiffness: Being real leather, they need a few shifts to break in properly.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle in Ambleside, a bustling Lake District café, needed to upgrade their safety gear. Their old oven mitts were providing inadequate forearm protection, leading to minor but frequent burns for their kitchen team when using their deep convection oven during the busy tourist season.

"These gloves immediately felt like a proper investment in our staff's wellbeing. The team can now pull out deep trays of scones and  pies with total confidence. There's no more flinching or hesitation; they just get the job done safely and  quickly."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since implementing the Matfer gloves, the café has reported a 100% reduction in oven-related burns and  a noticeable increase in the speed of their baking workflow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, give the gloves a good inspection to ensure they're perfect.
  • Flex and  work the leather with your hands a few times to begin the breaking-in process.
  • Designate a clean, dry hook or shelf for storage, away from grease and  moisture.
  • Ensure your team understands their 300°C heat limit and  that they are not for wet use.

Keeping Them Going

  • To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Never submerge them in water or put them in a washing machine.
  • If they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Store them away from hot surfaces like hobs or ovens when not in use.
  • Periodically check the stitching and  seams for any signs of wear and  tear, and  replace if safety is compromised.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Kitchen Safety Gloves

Not sure which gloves are right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for to ensure you get the best protection.

Check the Heat Rating

Make sure the gloves can handle your oven's maximum temperature. A 300°C rating, like on these Matfer gloves, is an excellent standard for most professional baking and  roasting.

Consider the Material

Leather offers fantastic durability and  a great grip, but it requires a break-in period. Other materials like silicone are waterproof and  easy to clean but may offer less dexterity.

Look at the Length

Short mitts are fine for grabbing a saucepan handle, but for reaching into deep commercial ovens, elbow-length gloves are essential to prevent nasty forearm burns.

Factor in Dexterity vs. Protection

Thicker, heavy-duty gloves provide the best heat protection but can be stiff. Think about the tasks you'll be doing – do you need to grip small items or just large trays?

Plan for Hygiene

How will you keep them clean? Wipe-clean leather is a practical option for busy kitchens where gloves can't be thrown in the wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these gloves sold individually or as a pair?

A: They come as a pair, so you get complete protection for both hands right out of the packaging.

Q: What is the maximum temperature they can handle?

A: These professional oven gloves are rated to safely handle hot items at temperatures up to 300°C.

Q: Are they waterproof? Can I pick up wet items?

A: No, being made of leather, they are not waterproof. You should avoid submerging them in water or handling very wet or steaming items, as moisture can transfer heat.

Q: How long are the gloves?

A: They measure 42cm in length, providing excellent coverage for your hands, wrists, and  a good portion of your forearm.

Q: Will I be able to move my fingers easily in them?

A: As they are made from heavy-duty leather, they feel quite stiff at first. They are designed for handling larger items like trays and  pans, and  will become more flexible with use.

Q: How should I clean these gloves?

A: The best way to clean them is to wipe them down with a clean, damp cloth. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.

Q: What are they made from?

A: They are constructed from high-quality, heavyweight brown leather with internal padding for comfort and  extra heat insulation.

Q: Are they suitable for a pizzeria?

A: Absolutely. Their high heat resistance and  long design make them ideal for safely handling hot pizza pans and  peels from a very hot oven.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper bit of kit. You can hold a hot cast iron pan for a good while and  barely feel the warmth. Worth every penny for peace of mind."

David B. – Gastropub Chef, York

"Really sturdy and  the length is fantastic. They were a bit stiff to start, as expected with leather, but have worn in beautifully. Great for our wood-fired pizza oven."

Chloe W. – Pizzeria Owner, Bristol

"We bought these for the whole bakery team. It's made a huge difference to safety and  morale. You can't put a price on that."

Samir Khan – Bakery Manager, Leicester
