does the silicone grippers smear or melt onto the hot item you are lifting

Believe it or not, no they do not smear or melt. I don't understand how, but these totally live up to what they say.

I Use My Oven Gloves All TheTime, Removing Extremely Hot Items FromThe Oven And I Have Never Experienced Any Melting Or Smearing.

No, silicone is a high temperature polymer. Nothing I have taken out of the oven, up to 450F has damaged the gloves.

have to soak in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. Then I use tweezers to scrape and pull the grip out.

Only very briefly. If you leave it on too long it would melt most plastics. A quick swipe will make it shinny actually.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

They're copies. But they work. Read the directions, though, and use common sense. They will not enable you to grab a handful of molten steel and hold it until Christmas. Heat will transfer through anything eventually. These gloves perform as you should expect a kitchen hot pad to perform. Pulling a browning turkey out of a 500 degree oven is well within their capability. Just don't stand there holding it until dinner is served.

No it's styafoam and if you heat in it , the warmer will melt. I hope this answers your question

The silicone component should always generate a filmy, "slippery" texture feel so long as there is NOT residue build-up (if it stops feeling slippery then it ceases to fulfill its purpose). Some people describe it as a tacky feeling. If you are worried about residual grease, a typical dish detergent should eliminate all residues when washing in hot water. Many people have said that wiping with a dry towel once the Silpat sheet is "dry" also helps eliminate any additional oils. Personally, I store mine between sheets of parchment or butcher paper, and I always wipe them down with a damp cloth before each use.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

I know they are riveted but not sure if silicone handles but I do know the handles don"t get hot

If the wire is too hot to keep your finger/hand join it longer than 30 seconds, I think there is a problem.We have two of these heaters and I have never noticed this to occur. By the way, after dust does accumulate inside these heaters and vacuuming will not remove slot of it. AT LEAST once a year I use an airless to "blast out" the accumulated dust. This will keep them at their optimum performance.JM2C

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

the bristles are not hot, the metal strips between the bristles is what gets hot. you can wrap your hand around the bristles and not get burned, but be careful not to push your finger tips through the bristles and touch the metal strip, it will burn.

I am not familiar with the melt method. I used this roller after knee surgery and use it now after running. It works great for those.

absolutely! The day i got mine i dropped hot torch slag on my arm and it just bounced off, felt no heat at all.

My HeatTrak did not feel warm to the touch either but it was warm enough to melt the ice over time. Be careful about placing the HeatTrak on certain surfaces such as Trex because it will discolor the material.

I use a "peel". I never lift the stome out of the oven when it is hot. Hope this helps.

Yes and no...yes if its just bare hands...bt no if you have like fingerless gloves or hand wrap on them..i use workout gloves along w this stuff bt my fingertips still get very sweaty n i cant hold onto equipment as well.
