A while back, I took some of y'alls advice and started using nitrile food prep gloves on top of cotton gloves for handling hot food on the pit. It works great! Definitely won't go back to the cheapo, gross silicone "food prep" gloves I bought off eBay.
However, I do feel inclined to warn you...make sure to briefly check and make sure that the finger of your nitrile glove doesnt break when you put your big sasquatch hand into it right before opening a steaming hot foil pouch of vegetables...otherwise the steam/liquid will get directly on the cotton glove below, trapped against your skin, resulting in a nice second-degree burn that you can watch as it literally blisters before your eyes. A guy I know, yeah, this one guy, certainly not me, it happened to him last weekend.
If it does happen to you though, the same guy that this happened to (definitely not me!) strongly recommends using a little Dermoplast spray followed by a couple ice cold, salted and limed Modelos to ease your pain.
Just sayin'. :thumb:
