What’s to love: Gloves less awkward than an oven mitt that will protect hands and wrists from heat up to 1400 degrees.

What does it do: The durable fire-proof gloves are made of ultra-high strength material, heat resistant on the outside with a soft lining on the inside. Silicon pads on the fingers and palms of the gloves provide a non-slip grip whether flipping burgers or taking a casserole out of the oven. The gloves sell for $19.99.
