I was planing on using theses to cook over a fire with a skillet. And maybe moves coal aroumd with my hand... will these melt?

yes, and so will your hands. These are used to pick up hot meats and shred (pulled pork). Fire and Fire!

I would not use them for hot coals, I think they would melt or burn your hands.

I have not moved coals around, but they started to melt when I grabbed a cast iron skillet full of hot coals and wood chips to pull it out to add more coals and wood chips and the glove finger tips melted. I was seasoning a cast iron skillet in the oven at 250 degrees and I had to put down the skillet very quickly because the heat came right through the glove and would have burned me if I had not put it down.

These gloves are meant for food only and will melt when used with hot metal or coals.

My crew was using these to pick up and move hot oysters and grill pieces and they worked well for that. They have a rubber or vinyl coating that looks like it might possible melt if you moved glowing coals. Perhaps a wet leather glove would be more suitable.

I agree with the others that it wouldn't be wise to use these for moving coal. They work great with meat but I think you would be burned if it touched coals

I would bet that they would melt, they are rubber. They are great for taking a rack of food off of a fire, and I'm sure a skillet, but I wouldn't expose them to the actual burning coals or to a fire.

Used them to pull a turkey and a Boston butt off my BGE, hands weren't really over the heat long enough to notice but yes, your knuckles will be close to the grate. Hope that helps.

I use them on a wood burning stove and have used them over the campfire. They are heavy on the bottom so the food does not burn as easy. Best camp cookware I have ever used.

They have plastic handles which I think would melt. But if you ask the manufacturer they would know best

yes!, use can them anytime you want to start a fire. I first started using them to get the coal going in my charcoal chimney (friend gave me a box of them). I've also used them by dropping one onto a pile of charcoal. Something else you can do with them...cut each cube into quarters, or halved, so they'll go further, but I use an entire cube when I use them to start my charcoal chimney. others may have better and different ideas

I used them on an open flame but made sure to keel the handles away from the heat. The rubber on them may melt

Not sure. I'd be very cautious about putting hot pans on them. If the pan is 'hot enough' it might scorch????????

I haven't tried to do this but I would imagine since they are plastic they would melt - maybe not in short time increments. I wouldn't recommend it personally but that is just my opinion.

Yes. I gave a gas range and use them on there. Just be aware the TOP of the handle is steel but there is a plastic liner on the bottom to leave the handles cool to the touch. If you have the flame up too high and it goes up the sides of the pot it WILL melt your handles. If you keep the temp right, the handles are great!

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't try it. They are just plastic. I think they would melt. But they do a great job when used as intended. Good luck.

yes they will. just dont put them on the fire empty. I made 2+ gallons of maple syrup with these pans. boiled down over 80 gallons of sap. ( 2 batches)

They are anodized aluminium, not Teflon so use over an open fire would not cause ill effects. But they are sized for two people, and very light so keep them off the coals.

I think they could maybe handle it in that they wouldn't melt, but they are really thin plastic and would be uncomfortable to hold when really warm. Personally I wouldn't chance it. They're really bad quality.

It depends on how much heat you have under it. If you are using this over a campfire with too much flame, the handles will get too hot to touch by hand. Mine didn't melt, but still hot enough to be uncomfortable. and yes on the rubber gasket.

I use high heat with mine and they are fine. I have electric, so not quit sure, just would make sure dishes are centered on burner.

These are the thickness and composition of like a surgical glove. They might melt if They come in direct contact with the iron, but they might help protect from steam.

Good idea. I would pay special attention to where your flame is though. I think you would have a fire hazard on your hands if these got anywhere close to an open flame.
