Le Creuset 4-Layered Textile Double Oven Gloves, Stain Resistant, Flint, 95001000444000

The photos show cream and red. They're actually pure white and red.I expected a premium product for this price though these are nothing special at all. They're too stiff and oversized to grip anything well with. They come with 4 plastic staples holding them together that leave permeant visible holes in them.Oven glove aren't hard to get wrong though these are a poorly thought out afterthought with a massively inflated price to give the brand more appeal. Le Creuset should stick to what they know.

My boyfriend, despite his well groomed appearance, has a tendency to be an excellent stress tester of any product. When I met him he already owned a pair of Le Crueset oven gloves, and despite him using them on a range of activities that they were not originally designed for (gardening, DIY, towing his mates car to the garage, welding, games of 'atomic fireball') they remained mostly serviceable. However, over time they had developed the appearance of an oily sock that had been dipped in glue before being dried with a blow torch. Despite his protestation that they were 'fine', it was decided that these were not the best items to convey steaming dishes to cooing guests during dinner parties, and the decision was made to seek a replacement. It was an easy choice to like for like replace - these are made of stern stuff and will clearly provide years of faithful service. He is, overall, very happy with the new purchase, and has mostly stuck to only using them for cooking.For those that are interested, we have released the old pair into the wild, where after a short acclimatisation they have been successful in finding a home in an old badger set.

This was just a re-buy of something I already had. We've had the same Le Crueset black/cream oven gloves for many many years now so I knew they'd be great. Very robust and heat protection could not be better. Only replaced them because the old set were starting to look a bit tired but you can expect these to last 10-15 years. It's true the last set were just £12 and these are now £22 but I guess that's inflation for you! Still well worth the cost as you can't buy better quality. (and you get to impress people because your oven gloves say "LeCrueset" so they think you're a professional!! ;-)

Went threadbare after one wash.

My go to oven gloves, about the third pair I've bought, so pleased I could buy from Amazon as the previous gloves were well past their use by date. Heat resistance is brilliant plus they are a lot more pliable than some cheaper gloves, so thoroughly recommend.

Excellent heat resistance and being able to use the glove from either side is excellent. This allows you to have single or double layer heat protection depending on how you hold it. However this comes with a cost - if you end up using both layers it is really rather stiff and that can impair your ability to get a good grip on a hot pot.

I purchased these for my brother, after attempting to cook round his and becoming more than frustrated with his excuse for oven gloves. I have always had Le Creuset Oven gloves, and after attempting to use this have affirmation as to why. I also love that your hands just slide into either side of the gloves, so they are very quick to grab and use.Will repurchase if ever needed (i currently have two pairs - one in use and one in the wash cycle), one pair is over 10 years old. So it is unlikely i will ever need to buy again, unless i have an accident.

No doubting the quality or the ability to protect from steam burns BUT you are quite likely to burn your feet or drop food on the floor as they are so stiff you cannot safely lift anything with them...not really fit for purpose in this respect ...come on Le Creuset...who tested these?!
