Oh dear-my lovely oven mitts brought disaster!They were very attractive, but after a week or so of using them, I lost one(probably fell into the bin)& then using the remaining one, to remove a small baking tray holding a few French fries, the top of the mitt touched the grill element on the oven ‘roof’ & caught fire! Very frightening….The “rubber” on the mitt stuck to the element, & made it very difficult to remove, whilst it went on burning! Would suggest that these mitts should come warning they are not safe to remove baking trays from an oven-in other words they are NOT ‘oven mitts’. very scary experience & complete waste of money! Disappointing, and I was so thrilled with the look of them!
