Title: Flexible, but not very insulating
Product review: Silicone has its advantages. The material itself is heat resistant, durable, and washes easily. And these mitts are certainly more flexible than most in this category of product. However, it must be noted, silicone is just not a good thermal insulator. You can't hold anything hot for than five seconds and you start to feel the heat come through. The cheapest pair of cotton mitts will protect your hands better than these high end silicone things. And given the extraordinary high price of silicone products, you could afford to buy new cotton oven mitts every year and still spend less than you do on these. Not a good value.
