Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought these gloves to use while I was seasoning my cast iron skillet. Handling cast iron after 15 minutes at 200 degrees: - No perceived sensation of heat through the gloves while maintain a constant grip for about 2 minutes Handling cast iron after 2 hours at 400 degrees: - No perceived sensation of heat at first contact between gloved hand and iron handle - Sensation of heat with no discomfort first perceived after a 15 seconds with a constant grip After two hours at 400 degrees, I picked up the very hot cast iron skillet expecting to feel some heat through the gloves but I felt nothing. I was so impressed I kept my grip on the hot iron handle to see how much longer before I felt anything. I began to notice the sensation of heat at about 15 to 20 seconds. I did not maintain my grip after that and set the pan down. I didn't think it wise to maintain prolonged contact with such a hot piece of iron regardless of how effective of a heat protectant this glove may be. I noticed some heat but absolutely no discomfort. I highly recommend this product.
