I bought these gloves for use with my outdoor barbecue. I cook with a wood fire, so temps can easily get over 600 degrees in the firebox. These leather gloves protect my hands very well in tending the fire [adding wood, stirring, poking, etc]. With these gloves I can easily reach into the firebox to reposition a piece of wood without any danger of burning my skin. They are also great for adjusting the draft vent on the side of the firebox. After having a similar pair [high profile name in barbecue] of these indefinitely backordered last summer [which I then canceled the order], these gloves are perfect for any backyard barbecue chef who is cooking with any type of slow cook oven or pit.

I've been using these gloves for the good part of a year now with my indoor oven. They work fine on most things that come out of the oven, however when I use a very hot oven temperature, such as for bread baking in a cast iron dutch oven, the heat comes through. Ouch. I would not buy again. To me they are awkward as well. My daughter has the "Ov Glove" type - I really like hers much better and they will handle the extra heat. They are much more user friendly in my opinion.

The gloves do their work when it's for holding the tongs atop of the hot bbq. But for grabbing things directly off the grill- Don;t try, the heat is too much.
