Frux Home and Yard Explains How Silicone Oven Mitts Are Better Than Cotton Oven Mitts

Frux Home and Yard, a company based in Las Vegas, NV, wants to elucidate on the question whether silicone oven mitts better than cotton oven mitts. One of the favored oven mitts types are made of cotton. However, one advantage of oven mitts made of silicone is that cotton burns are the relatively low temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit while silicone can withstand a temperature of up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that silicone is just right for cooking using the oven because many oven recipes require a temperature of 350 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Cotton oven mitts are usually coated with a flame-resistant chemical and they need thick layers of batting to appropriately protect the hands when they are used for moving hot bakeware and dishes. The problem is that the coating wears down over time and these cotton oven mitts develop “hot spots” where the heat goes through the mitt rather than being absorbed.

Oven mitts made of silicone offer an easy to clean, affordable, and food-safe way of handling oven-hot dishes and bakeware. Because of their price, they also provide the best return on investment. Silicone is naturally water-resistant and can withstand steam and grease. It provides more than sufficient gripping capability and it can be easily cleaned with soap and water. Sometimes silicone will be combined with a layer of fabric on the inside to provide better comfort for the user and to make it easier to pull it on or off.

The silicone oven gloves from Frux Home and Yard are provided with an outer layer of FDA approved food safe silicone while the inner layer is made of cotton/ polyester. Water resistant silicone is an appropriate choice for kitchens because bacteria and other microorganisms will not be able to penetrate. And because the silicone surface is not porous, it is much easier to clean compared to cotton, for instance. The silicone oven gloves can be cleaned by just soap and water although they can be cleaned by using a washing machine too if desired.

With regards to fire safety, it is important to note that silicone has extreme fire resistance. It does not melt at high temperatures and it maintains its form, although it may become more rigid over time.

It has been observed that silicone is the best material for oven mitts on the market. Neoprene oven mitts may provide more flexibility but silicone oven gloves are better in terms of price, comfort, heat resistance, and the protection they provide. Oven mitts made from silicone also don’t deform and they are able to maintain their original shape over time.

It is also important to note that the silicone oven gloves provided by Frux Home and Yard have been designed to be extra long at 14.75 inches to protect the arms of the user when reaching into hot ovens. In addition, the fabric sleeve is slightly flared along the side in order to offer a more comfortable if farther up the arm.

Meanwhile, customers have given highly positive reviews for these oven mitts from Frux Home and Yard. For instance, a certain Atombee gave the product five stars on Amazon.com and said, “We’ve typically avoided the synthetic oven gloves and pot holders over the years because they’re clumsy and not really all that great with the heat. But these have been stellar so far, and much easier to clean. And I’m surprised how much I like the length of them – they go well up my long forearm, which I wasn’t sure about at first. I’d buy these again for sure.”

Established in 2013, Frux Home and Yard is a family owned and operated company that has set as its goal to provide top quality home, decorative and entertainment items for the home, such as, the silicone oven gloves. Currently, they are developing new lines of products that will be appropriate for a wide range of home lighting and decorating requirements of families for different occasions, including garden parties, weddings, birthday parties, banquets, and more.
