Product Overview
Stepping into a professional kitchen means dealing with serious heat, and your standard domestic oven gloves just won't cut it. Introducing the Burnguard 18 inch blue oven mitt, a piece of essential kit designed for the demanding environment of commercial cooking. It’s more than just a glove; it’s your first line of defence against extreme temperatures, steam, and hot liquids, giving you the confidence to handle the hottest trays and pans safely.
This heat resistant catering oven mitt is built for chefs, bakers, caterers, and anyone working with high-temperature ovens, grills, or fryers. Its generous 18-inch length protects not just your hands but your forearms too, a crucial feature when reaching into deep deck ovens or over sizzling stovetops. The clever puppet-style design offers a much better grip than a standard mitt, allowing for secure handling of heavy, awkward cookware without the fear of slips.
Crafted from advanced materials like Nomex and Kevlar, and featuring a unique VaporGuard barrier, this glove provides comprehensive protection up to a blistering 482°C. It even works when wet, a common scenario in a busy kitchen.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salisbury Steak House' in Salisbury needed to upgrade their kitchen PPE after a few near-misses with their high-output chargrill and convection ovens. The standard-issue gloves they were using weren't offering enough protection, especially on the forearms.
"These Burnguard mitts have been a brilliant investment. The length is fantastic, and the grip is so much better than what we had before. The staff feel far more secure, and we can work faster without worrying about accidental burns. Simple, effective, and built to last."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since introducing the Burnguard oven mitts three months ago, the steak house has reported a 100% reduction in heat-related minor burns and increased team confidence during peak service hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, inspect the glove for any shipping damage to ensure the protective layers are intact.
- Try the glove on to get a feel for the puppet-style grip and dexterity.
- Ensure it's stored on a hook or in a clean, dry area, ready for immediate use near your heat sources.
Keeping It Going
- This glove is machine washable. Wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the protective fibres.
- Always allow the glove to air dry completely before its next use. Do not tumble dry.
- Regularly check for signs of wear and tear, especially after washing, and replace if the outer shell becomes compromised.
- Store away from sharp objects like knives or mandolines that could puncture the protective layers.

Explore more from BurnguardWhat is VaporGuard and Why Does It Matter?
Think about a time you've used a regular cotton oven glove that's slightly damp. When you grab something hot, that moisture instantly turns to steam and transfers the heat directly to your hand – a nasty and common kitchen burn. The VaporGuard barrier is the solution to this exact problem. It’s like having a waterproof, heatproof shield inside your glove. It creates an impermeable layer that completely blocks hot liquids, grease, and steam from ever reaching your skin. So, even if you get splashed with boiling water or have to work in a steamy environment, the glove’s protective quality isn't compromised. It’s the difference between partial protection and total peace of mind.
