Grilling gloves that have textured fingers make it easier to hold onto items that otherwise might slip from your grasp. There's no denying that it's dangerously hot when working near a grill, but not all heat is the same. Grilling gloves that are designed to do a great job of protecting your hands from dry heat will not protect your hands from wet heat. In the following sections, we discuss this in a little more detail to help you determine which type of grilling gloves you need. Some individuals prefer to have both available. DRY HEAT Dry heat is what radiates off the coals and transfers to other items like pans, tools, and the grill itself. Grilling gloves that you wear to hold tools and adjust the grill are manufactured using leather or woven heat-resistant knitted fabric. Leather: These grilling gloves protect your hands well and are versatile, but they aren’t designed to handle food. On the downside, leather gloves are hard to clean, require a great deal of care, and can stiffen up and become awkward to use over time. Fabric: These grilling gloves are highly flexible, allowing you to more easily perform a wide range of grilling tasks. Most knitted gloves also feature some kind of silicone coating on the fingers for better gripping power. These gloves are typically machine washable, but they cannot be used to handle food. Additionally, if knitted gloves are used while wet or damp, instead of protecting you from the heat, they will draw it directly to your hands. WET HEAT If you need to pick up a large brisket or rack of ribs, you need grilling gloves that won't lose their effectiveness when they get wet with grease or steam. Food-grade silicone or neoprene grilling gloves are waterproof, so you can handle foods directly without fear of hot grease or steam seeping through and burning your hands. Additionally, these grilling gloves are easy to clean — most silicone gloves are dishwasher safe, and both neoprene and silicone gloves can be washed while you’re wearing them, like washing your hands, and hung up to dry. The downside is that these gloves can be cumbersome, making it a little more difficult to perform tasks that require a degree of dexterity. Material Heat resistance: Obviously, when you’re cooking with fire, you want as much protection as possible. However, if you're never going to be grilling at temperatures over 500ºF, do you really need a grilling glove that can handle temperatures over 900ºF? Don't worry. There is no right or wrong answer. The only bad choice you can make is to purchase grilling gloves that can't handle the temperatures you usually grill at. Flexibility: All grilling gloves inhibit your movement to some degree. The best pair of grilling gloves, however, allow you to perform tasks while retaining the maximum amount of dexterity. Texture: Grilling gloves with textured fingers help ensure that you won’t be constantly dropping hot items when you’re trying to grill. Durability: Look for grilling gloves that boast good durability. Any tears or split seams, even the smallest ones, can invite a painful burn.
