Silicone gloves...

[lucky8926]

I've had a few close calls transferring meat from the smoker to a pan either for wrapping, or when done and ready to pull/slice. I ran across some silicone gloves and was wondering if anyone has them and if so what's your opinion. Seems like they would be better than using a large spatula to remove the meat. Below is just one example, there are several different brands.

I bought these...two cooks and the heat resistance is good but a little clumsy however it may just be me getting used to heat resistant gloves.

I bought some around a month ago and returned them - they are pretty hard to get on and off (and I have small hands) and they are thick and kinda stiff as well. I was missing the "feel" that I had with my regular gloves, and I really like to be able to slip my gloves on and off as needed.

I have these.

They work pretty good.

I find those types of gloves difficult to get on/off both hands once you have the first hand gloved and don't give you very good dexterity should it be needed for any tasks while gloved.

And then there's the rubbery insulated gloves that get very slippery once they are greasy and pose a risk of dropping the meat.

I prefer wool gloves underneath heavy nitrile gloves as you have full dexterity and thermal protection.

I bought these from Big poppa Smokers $14.95. Work great and the length is good for reaching down into my WSM.

I bought similar silicone gloves a few years back, I didn't like them at all. Very hard to get on and off, especially if you put on both hands. I have tried the gloves Chris89Stang uses and they work okay but are really hard to wash/dry and end up getting gross inside (mold etc).

I use the same solution as Peeps, cotton gloves under nitrile. This works very well for me.

I bought a pair like these from Grainger. Local store so no shipping.

I have been using those same steven raichlen gloves a few years. They are pretty easy to get on and off but like everyone said, they get super slippery and if you get the inside wet they take a while to dry out. They work well if you are used to them.
I like Peeps way though, will have to give that a try.

I usually place foil over the meat and use a dedicated pair of mechanics gloves for the minimal heat protection i need. I had a pair like chris89stang posted, but like peeps said they get really slippery when you have a lot of fat or grease. I'll probably pick up a few towels to use instead of foil and gloves.

I got a pair of the bright orange ones shown above. I like them, but they do get slippery. They're still better than a spatula, in my opinion. I use a pair of welding gloves for grates, coals, etc. and the silicone gloves for food.
One big plus of the silicone gloves is that you can wash them just like you're washing your hands.
To pull them off, I just bite down on the end of the pinky and give it a tug. (I keep it classy like that.)

Those are the same ones I have,and for me they suck. too small, too stiff and too slippery. YMMV

I have an orange pair too and agree with the above. The Raichlen-type gloves can get moldy/mildewy if they get wet on the inside no matter how you dry them out. The silicone ones can be washed even in the dishwasher.

And you can pull them off with your teeth easily. I use my middle finger though. :shocked:

If you have ever watched Franklin pull his briskets off of his smokers, you will see that he uses a cloth towel. Easy to "put on and take off" and then just throw it in the washing machine. Never tried it, but seems simple enough.

Have a Blessed day!

I have the ones you have in your post...paid around 20 dollars for them on Amazon. They are nothing fancy, but they get the job done

 

[padge31]

I have big hands and I would like to find a pair that I can slip on and off easily. Does anyone have any suggestions.

I have ones like that. Pretty simple to get on and off. I haven't gotten them wet on the inside, so no comment on that. But they have worked fine for me.
