Looking at Grilling gloves

The Sunday afternoon Bar-b-cue was a family tradition I’ll always remember. While I was growing up, my dad literally fired up our charcoal grill every Sunday afternoon. He’d pour some gas over the coals, strike a match and toss it into the grill from about five feet away. Remembering the sound of the “woosh” of the fire igniting still brings a smile to my face. Of course, by the time I had my own grill, I propane was being used instead of instead of charcoal. However, I was still using the tongs and long forks to turn and handle the meats on the grill.

It looks like there’s been another advancement in bar-b-cuing techniques. The last time I went over to my son’s house, he was using a Grill Glove to turn the meat on the grill. since I ha never seen this before, he explained that this particular glove was made from food grade silicone, temperature resistant to 500 degrees F and was easy to clean up by just running through the dishwasher. It seemed like a good idea, but before I bought one for myself, I wanted to check out the other grilling gloves on the market.

The first ones I looked at were made from leather. While leather gloves such as the Grillmark are versatile and somewhat heat resistant, not being able to clean them thoroughly is a big negative for me. Leather doesn’t really do well when soaked or scrubbed in water, so I eliminated all the leather ones from consideration. Although it would have been neat to have a set of Jim Beam leather grilling gloves, the same negatives of leather would still apply. The same would hold true of the Chef Master gloves; a great company name in the bar-b-cue industry, but the gloves have the cleaning disadvantages inherent to leather.

Suede leather gloves are offered by Weber and the Steven Raichlen Company, so itmust be a popular material for grilling gloves as well. While I’m sure they’re comfortable, flexible and easy to use, removing all the soaked in grease is still improbable. The Raichlen Company also offers rubber coated gloves (for food handling only), but their heat protection is limited to 248 degrees F.

So, I was back where I started…the Grill Glove that I first saw at my son’s house. Since then, I’ve seen it often advertised on the As Seen On TV commercials. Besides it’s high temperature resistance and ability to be dishwasher cleaned, there were a couple of more positives that made me decide to order this glove. The main thing is that being cleanable and made of food grade silicone, cross contamination of foods is limited. Also, being compatible with water, you can reach into a pot of boiling water to retrieve corn on the cob or anything else. Finally, there’s the cost. Of all the gloves I saw, the Grill gloves “two for one” offer was the most reasonable, plus I felt it was the best glove out there. I ordered, received and am really happy with this product.
