Late this summer, I heard about the Grill Glove. Actually, I heard about it from two sources; my son has one and I happened to hear about it on an As Seen On TV commercial. Sometimes I wonder what we ever did without all the stuff that’s advertised in those infomercials. Between that and Sully’s Store, you really can keep up with all the neat new gadgets without ever leaving the LazyBoy.
Grilling on the Patio
My son was the first person I ever saw actually us the glove. He was bar-b-cuing chicken, and reached into the grill and turned the sizzling pieces while wearing the glove. When he said he didn’t feel a thing, I knew I had to order it and I did. The best thing about ordering is that it was a “buy one, get one” deal, and I’m glad it worked that way because my wife began using one of the gloves the day they came in. We use the grill at least once a week; it
may not be very healthy, but it sure is good. I am using my Grill Glove exclusively…I threw away my tongs. Like the commercial says, I flip my steaks, burgers, hotdogs, potatoes and anything else with this amazing glove. It really is heat resistant and hot gravy proof.
The Grill Glove Indoors
My wife uses this glove in the kitchen to handle her hot foods. No more tongs or long forks or dropped foods. She has no compunctions about reaching into the oven to turn a roast or stick her hand into a pot of boiling water to retrieve anything. Unlike the other oven mitts, the Grill Glove has five fingers, which makes grabbing smaller foods like hard boiled eggs really easy. She also gets a lot of use from the Lava Mitt that came with it. It’s an easy way to grab hot cooking sheets of any size and shape without getting burned.
One afternoon, my wife came out while I was grilling and saw that the glove was sort of greasy and stained. I guess that would be normal from using it at the grill. So, we put it in the dishwasher as they suggested, and it came out looking really good…ready for the next Saturday afternoon bar-b-cue. We’ve washed it several times, and it really is none the worse for running it through the dishwasher. I guess the food grade silicone fabrication of the glove has something to do with how well it’s holding up.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think about giving the Grill Glove as a Christmas gift as it would have been one of those items that really would have gotten used and not returned. But, we have a large family, so with spring and summer birthdays coming up, it’s going to be an easy choice to give as a gift, specially with the “buy one get one” offer
