I've been the personal asst. to a Dr & his wife for 4 years & after aiding them in the prep work for many dinners & get together I have come to the conclusion that out of the dozen or so pot holders they have only one offers even mild protection from heat so I have decided to buy them a set of oven mitts/pot holders for the winter holiday this year. However I myself do not cook or buy things for my kitchen & really have no idea what the best oven mitts are. Judging by the various ones they currently own they would probably not use a large rubber one. Their largest mitt comes just past the wrist. They really seem to enjoy having upwards of 10 guests over for dinner & there lack of proper oven mitts has been the ban of their hosting existence for the past several years. I would prefer nothing gaudy or bulky but that is high quality and offers protection. Every year they give me a wonderful well thought out gift and I would like to get them something other then a bottle of wine.

as i said before huge bulky ones that come up to the elbow will not work because they will never use them. i need some that come just past the wrist.

I was looking for a link to them but didn't find one. We have some that are square with a pocket on one side, to put your hand in and use it like a mitt. They're very versatile. We use them as pads for hot pots on the table, mitts and pot holders.
Similar to these but thicker (quilted/terry) and no print;

That is a good idea for a gift. I would try to find the ones that do come farther up the arms...AND the silicone ones are bulky but you dont get burned using them...I have one...but always grab my little square ones...However, I sew 2 matching ones together for added protection leaving one side open to slide my hands into....and I usually forget about that and use them as they are.

I have one of these and intend to get another one to match. I love this glove! It has a good grip and you don't feel the heat at all. It will last forever and never get dirty like the cloth ones. Also, if you have any Bed Bath and Beyond coupons (they never expire so keep them when you find them), you can get 20% off!

I was given a set of red silicone type gloves that work great as far as heat protection. You can lay your hand on a gas grill and not feel the heat. I have seen them sold at belk, target and other stores.
