Product Overview
Stepping up your kitchen's safety game is simpler than you think. This brilliant MasterClass silicone oven mitt is your first line of defence against hot trays, sizzling pans, and steam.

Perfect for everyone from the head chef in a high-end restaurant to the team at a local bakery or school canteen, this mitt is a true workhorse.

Expert Review and Insights
The MasterClass DB878 isn't just another oven glove; it’s a proper piece of safety equipment. The hybrid design is what really stands out – you get the modern, practical benefits of heatproof silicone on the outside, but with the traditional comfort of a soft cotton lining. It feels substantial, secure, and built for the relentless pace of a professional kitchen.

- Practical Protection: The water-resistant exterior is a huge plus, especially when dealing with steam.
- Initial Stiffness: It feels a little rigid at first before it's properly broken in.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Cornish Bakehouse' in Truro needed to upgrade from their standard cloth mitts, which were getting scorched and offering poor protection against steam from the bread ovens.
"We were going through cloth gloves every few weeks. They'd get damp, stained, and frankly, a bit risky. The MasterClass mitts have been fantastic. The grip is solid, they wipe clean, and the team feels much safer handling the hot racks."
Michael Davies – Owner
The switch resulted in a significant drop in minor burns and has completely eliminated the need for monthly mitt replacements.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before the first use, it's a good idea to pop it in the washing machine to ensure it's perfectly clean.
- Make sure the mitt is always completely dry inside and out before handling hot equipment.
- Find a convenient hook to hang it from near your oven or grill for quick and easy access.
Keeping It in Top Shape
- For a deep clean, simply put it in the washing machine with your other kitchen linens.
- Minor spills and splatters can be wiped away instantly with a damp cloth.
- Always allow the mitt to air dry thoroughly after washing; avoid tumble drying.
- Give it a quick check every so often for any signs of cuts or damage to ensure it remains safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this oven mitt sold as a single item or a pair?
A: This is sold as a single, ambidextrous oven mitt, designed to be worn on either the left or right hand.
Q: How far up the arm does the 387mm length provide protection?
A: It offers generous coverage well past the wrist, protecting a good portion of the forearm from accidental burns when reaching into ovens.
Q: Is the silicone flexible enough for gripping smaller items?
A: Yes, while it feels very robust, the silicone is designed to be flexible enough to allow for good dexterity and a secure grip on handles and trays.
Q: What does 'water resistant' actually protect against?
A: It means the mitt will repel hot splashes and, crucially, steam. Unlike cloth mitts that absorb moisture and can cause severe steam burns, this one keeps your hand dry and safe.
Q: Will the red colour bleed or fade in the wash?
A: The high-quality silicone is colour-fast and specifically designed to withstand repeated machine washing without significant fading or bleeding.
Q: Can I use this for grabbing items from a deep fat fryer?
A: While it protects against splashes, it is not designed for full submersion in hot oil. It's best used for handling the fryer basket handle and other hot, dry equipment.
Q: How does the cotton lined oven mitt improve the product?
A: The cotton interior provides a soft, comfortable barrier for your skin, preventing the sweaty, clammy feeling that can occur with unlined silicone or rubber gloves.
Q: Is this glove suitable for handling items from a -18°C freezer?
A: Absolutely. The insulation that protects from heat also works in reverse, providing an effective barrier against the cold of frozen goods.
The MasterClass Standard: Confidence in Every Grip
When you choose a product from Kitchen Craft's MasterClass range, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're investing in peace of mind. For decades, MasterClass has built a reputation on creating robust, reliable, and intelligently designed tools that stand up to the rigours of both professional and ambitious home kitchens. This commercial silicone oven glove is a perfect example. It's not just about meeting a heat-resistance spec; it's about the confidence it gives a chef during a hectic service. It’s about reducing the risk of accidents, which means less downtime, fewer injuries, and a happier, more efficient team. The long-term value comes from its durability, saving you the cost and hassle of constantly replacing cheaper, inferior mitts that can't handle the pressure. This commitment to long-lasting, practical quality is what makes MasterClass a trusted partner in kitchens across the country.

Ever wondered why this heat resistant oven glove has two different materials? It's all about getting the best of both worlds. The outer silicone shell acts like a high-performance shield. It's completely non-porous, which means hot water, oil, and steam can't soak through and burn you – a common danger with simple cloth mitts. This silicone is also what provides that fantastic, grippy texture.
But a full silicone glove can feel a bit sweaty and strange. That's where the inner cotton sleeve comes in. Think of it like a quality raincoat: you have the tough, waterproof outer layer to protect you from the elements (the silicone), and a soft, breathable lining inside to keep you comfortable (the cotton). This combination gives you ultimate protection without sacrificing the comfort needed for a long, busy service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: Ideal for chefs who need reliable, daily protection when moving hot cast-iron pans and trays.
- Bakeries & Dessert Shops: Provides a secure, heat-proof grip for handling fresh bread tins and pastry sheets constantly.
- School & Hospital Caterers: A safe, hygienic, and easy-to-clean solution for protecting staff in high-volume environments.
- Pizzerias & Takeaways: A must-have commercial silicone oven glove for safely grabbing hot pizza pans and trays from deck ovens.
