Designed for the commercial kitchen and the preferred choice of professional chefs worldwide, Tucker BurnGuard Conventional-Style Oven mitts are designed to shield hands and forearms from burns when lifting pots, moving hot food at oven range temperatures, reaching in and out of hot ovens, or servicing/cleaning hot equipment parts. More than simply cosmetic, this durable mitt offers true protection because it is equipped with our proprietary Vapor Guard Barrier, making it safe to use even when wet. The liquid/vapor barrier blocks hot liquids, grease or steam from reaching your skin, which means no more steam burns. Heat and inherently flame resistant Nomex fiber outer shell offers durable and effective protection where there is exposure to open flame. Sturdy, 100% cotton terry insulation, along with proper outer shell, provides protection up to 450˚F (232˚F) for 15 seconds. Clean Tucker oven mitts and gloves as often as required. Machine wash and dry for best results. Spot clean using mild detergent and warm soapy cloth. Rinse under running water. DO NOT soak or submerge for prolonged periods to avoid saturating insulation. Air dry for best results. DO NOT use bleach. Discard if damaged.
