This is my second pair of these gloves, the first I originally purchased for myself, but once my husband tried them to remove something from the grill, that was it! They were now his! Every time he smokes something or barbecues he grabs those gloves! Thank god they wash well also. So, to be able to keep a pair for myself, I purchased a set of 2, and thankfully I did, because as soon as I got them my daughter "borrowed" a pair because she was tired of burning her arms taking stuff from the oven. I think I may have to order another set!
