Title: Nice idea with poor follow through
Product review: I received the Orka as a Christmas present last year. I was excited to use it but I was quickly dissappointed after I did. Yes, you can pick up some really hot stuff with this oven mitt, but there is also a good chance you'll drop some hot stuff as well. Unfortunately, the design of the mitt forces your thumb to be uncomfortably across from the rest of your fingers, not next to your fingers as it normally sits. This aspect along with the fact that the thumb and fingers are held in a rigid position make it difficult to pick up items, especially heavy items. I don't know about you, but something that makes it difficult to pick up hot, heavy items doesn't belong in my kitchen. I just don't think its safe.
