Why is this a H&S question,common sense init?
Oven gloves should be banned, they are clumsy, awkward and in some cases downright dangerous. If you manage to spill very hot liquids on them and enough to soak through the glove they are very difficult to remove, and all the time the liquid is scalding your hand. If they are damp, heat will be transferred quicker and you have the same problems as before. Find a catering supplier and look for Oven Cloths, think of triple density tea towel, easier to use and if something does go wrong they are easier to get free from, failing that just use a tea towel.
I use silicone oven gauntlets, they're the canine's genitalia - but only when removing hot stuff, not putting cold in.
It's not magic. Must be relatives of the washing fairys. They clean my clothes and store them in a washing basket for weeks at a time.
We have something very similar next to the sink, its a mesh insert that sits in the small waste disposal bit of the sink. All you need to do is place a plate, knife, spoon or similar into it and next time you need the item it's clean and back in the cupboard. Fantastic thing absolutely no idea how it works, some sort of kitchen magic.Those goblins must be very busy, I’ve experienced them quite a few times

Talking of magic, years ago an old uncle came to see the family here. He lived in a village in India. Never been to any of the big cities there let alone see a far away land. Anyway he wanted to see London. Dad and I took him to all the tourist places, then one day we took him to Harrods, we were waiting for the lift. This middle aged woman went in and when the lift came back a pretty young girl emerged.
He was dumbfounded at this “machine” in the U.K. All he kept saying was that next time he will bring my Auntie, he made both of us promise to take him back to the same shop.
Sadly they have both passed, but every time I use a lift it reminds me of him. He was a top bloke
I don't need to watch this. I know what it's going to be...Confirmation for anyone who believes in fairies (not goblins - they're not the nice folk)

So what was the reason for this important public survey?Do you use an oven glove to put something cold into a pre-heated oven?

How badly have you burnt yourself?
You can tell us anything, it will remain confidential, on this thread
lol, no burn.
I’ve received a few small burns over the years but never use a glove (or towel). It’s interesting to see how many of us ignore advise.
Apparently when the risk is small we all ignore it and get on with life.
