Food52 x Farmhouse Pottery Double Oven Mitt & Apron Gift Set

I loved my oven mitt until we had to wash it (which you must with light fabric as it will inevitably become kitchen stained). I washed in a little delicates bag on delicate cycle with a gentle detergent and it just never seemed to recover. There are now 'hot spots' where the stuffing on the mitt part is uneven and I've burned myself several times. I still have it hanging next to the oven, but find myself reaching for just a doubled over kitchen towel more frequently than this.

This oven mitt can stay on the oven door handle, so I don't need to find space for 2 oven mitts in a drawer in our tiny kitchen. On the oven door handle, it's always at the right place and the right time. Plus, the mitt is wide for large hands and wide enough to fit my largest roasting pan. It does take a little getting used to, as it is basically 1 piece of fabric, but it's become a lifesaver and an essential part of my cooking and baking.

I bought these for my friends who forever had burn marks on their arms. They are pretty, comfortable, easy to put on and so so useful. The usual oven mitts are so clunky and the thumb part always burn and they never protect your arms.
