I had oven mitts someone gave me, long ago. I found them
very cumbersome and kind of unweildy and stiff. I prefer
potholders where I feel like I have a much better feel of what
I'm picking up.

I have an entire drawer filled with hotpads... the top drawer closest
to the stove... mine are only on the counter while I'm cooking and
nearby. I can't leave hot pads unattended, I have a cat with the
uncanny knack of sniffing them out, they'll get hauled down to the
basement and stashed where they're never to be seen again.

I've toyed with the idea of the gloves, especially for tossing around
large chunks of meat on the smoker. But I still need something quick
to slip on at least one hand for the things in the oven.

Have you tried to use it yet? It works quite well. Try it... You put
your whole hand in it..and just pick up a pot. I have no problems
with them...

Gee, when I looked within the last year they all seemed to be
those things with pockets, which I hate. The other trick is to
find ones that are just the right thickness--not too thin and not
so thick that they aren't adequately flexible. And the right
size. Gee, I'm picky.

Every site and store I've seen calls them mits (t's are in short
supply).

Take your pick:

Since I am usually in too much of a hurry to find my potholders (in the
bottom drawer), I usually use a (DRY) folded dish towel to remove stuff
from the oven. It usually works quite well for me.
