How long can you hold a really hot pot right out of the oven before your fingers start to feel uncomfortable?

How long can you hold the pot? I would say, with complete confidence, that these pretty red mitts will protect your hands with near zero heat transference, for as long as you have the strength to hold it. Heat has simply never transferred to my hands at all at any oven temp I normally employ, so I feel very confident at temperatures up to 450*F. My home oven's maximum temperature setting is 500*F. The following statement from Wikipedia, in my opinion, is the final word on the matter of heat transference:"Silicone rubber offers good resistance to extreme temperatures, being able to operate normally from −100 to 300 °C (−148 to 572 °F)." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber#PropertiesHappy Baking!

These are really great mitts and I've never felt heat while holding any pots or pans. They are really thick and padded.

As a benchmark, you can hold hold a cast iron frying pan out of a 400 degree oven for maybe 10 seconds. That said, they work much better at lower temperatures. Sort of how your winter gloves are perfectly fine at minus 20, but not so fine at minus 40. Typical of cloth oven gloves and oven mitts: if they get wet or dirty, the insulating effects erode dramatically. Note that the gloves can be worn on either hand. I would argue that rubberized side is less insulating.

I always use mitts to avoid finding out. I will try the pans out today and touch them.

You definitely want the pie plate to cool down some before putting it into the carrier or it will melt. I'm really not sure how long that is but use you best judgement. If the plate is too hot to handle without pot holders, its probably too hot for the carrier. I think 20-30 min would be fine. Also, the pie plate does not have handles so this makes it a bit tricky to handle putting it into the carrier even when its not hot.

My husband said that he would give it the 3 second rule. Meaning it takes about 3 seconds of touching it to realize its burning your hand. Lol

Don't open the door. .350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes for the mini pans..40 to 50 minutes for regular size angel food cake pan

I set my hand in this welding glove on top of the hood of my gas grill after it was on high heat (T=?) for 15 minutes. I was able to withstand the heat for ~30 seconds of moderate pressure. Use this information to compare to descriptions of the leather gloves sold for Dutch ovens. One typically handles a Dutch oven by the thin wire handle which focuses the heat in a smaller area across four fingers.

Gosh I've had them for awhile now and not sure. What I can tell you is that I've taken stoneware out of a 425 degree oven and it might get a little hot but the versatility of 5 fingered gloves is worth it. I've never gotten burned using them although mits will provide extra heat protection.

Wash the rust off. Do not use soap, just warm water and a hard sponge until the rust comes off. Then pat dry with paper towel or cloth towel and spray cooking oil or brush a light coat on the pan. Pre-heat the oven to about 350 degrees and place the empty pot in the hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes and your pot should be ready for use. Let cool and enjoy a great pot. I do not use mine every day but every other week and repeat the same steps after use. Cast iron pots are worth the cleaning time. Food comes out great. Hope this helps.

Depending on thickness 10 minutes on one side and about 7 minutes on second side it medium rare !!! Cook HOT

The stockpot can get too hot to handle. Not scalding, but can still get pretty hot, so be cautious. The other pans are no issue. I havent had a situation where they are too hot to handle with bare hands.

I think it means you have enough time to get item off the grill or out of the oven without getting burnt. My wife and I use them frequently and have had no unpleasant events. Do you feel warmth yes sometimes, but not burning unless you get the gloves wet then try to handle something hot. I hope this helps. QaPla'

I have done potatoes wrapped in foil (shiny side in) at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, but I prefer microwaved potatoes with a microwave nail in them (my mother in law gave them to me, apparently coated aluminum if I had to take a guess)

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

I may be warm but not hot to touch if used stove top. In the oven yes it will be hot but cool quickly when removed.

You definitely don't want to touch it after toasting something. That being said I think it's about the same as other stainless toaster ovens.
