With these heat-resistant BBQ gloves from Valhal Outdoor you can grab a hot grate, a cast iron pan or your kamado's lid without hesitation. They extend past the wrist, so your forearm stays protected too when you need to reach deep into the barbecue. They're sold as a pair, so you can work with both hands instead of a single oven mitt.
Why heat-resistant BBQ gloves on a kamado
On a kamado it's not just the fire that gets hot. The ceramic, the metal bands and the cast iron parts hold their heat for a long time and radiate it out strongly after hours of cooking. A short oven mitt leaves exactly the part of your wrist unprotected where you're most likely to get burned. These gloves are made for actually gripping and holding something, not just tapping it quickly.
- Extra long cuff that brings your forearm into the protection
- Enough grip to move a full grate or a heavy pan
- Handy when opening a hot kamado and repositioning the heat deflector
- Also useful around a garden fire pit, fire bowl or dutch oven
- Sold as a pair, so you lift with both hands instead of balancing
How to use them
Put them on before you open the lid, not while you're already holding a pan. Lift cast iron with both hands and set it down on a heat-resistant surface straight away. Grip and move in one fluid motion: the longer you hold something scorching hot, the more heat comes through.
Care
Let them air dry after a session and don't store them until they're truly dry. Wipe off grease and marinade straight away so nothing burns in.
