Would they be good for extreme hot cast iron pans in oven or stove top this is what I need good gloves for? Thanks

I have a whole set of cast iron pans, and they work wonderfully. With the gloves on, I held the handle of a heavy cast iron pan with one hand and placed my other hand on the bottom to steady it all the way across the kitchen from the stove to the sink: absolutely no sensation of heat whatsoever. Incredibly amazing. I am not afraid to handle my cast iron with the gloves whatsoever. I hope this helps!

Absolutely. I grabbed a pan straight from our smoker after it had been on for about 6 hours - and they worked perfectly.

Yes. I actually use them for putting logs in my woodstove... very hot work.

My mother and I haven't used it around anything along those lines. We mainly use them for baking and taking trays and pans out of the oven. I'm sure if hot soup fell on the glove it would be fine but as to dipping into the boiling liquid I would recommend no.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

I'm not what type of heat you have in mind but I've been using them for landscaping purposes in 100 degree weather & they hold up great but like said I don't know about other fields where high heat is involved such as wielding (seeing as how I only use them for landscape & gardening purposes) I'm not a welding expert but I don't these gloves would be well serving in an environment like that I think these are more build for construction. I hope that answers your question

Never a stupid question!! I haven't used them in the oven, but the tops can go on while the food is pipping hot, I would use tin foil in such applications anyway. The reflection of heat from foil would create a wonderful toasty crust to most food.

These have worked in the gas oven we use, however they do get very hot and are small, so getting them out of the hot oven is cumbersome using hot mats or oven glove. I suggest have them sitting on a larger pan while moving them or cooking in the oven i.e., pizza pan to be safer with hot cookware. LC

I'm not sure of this question. However, i can lift our hot woodstove top with them to add more firewood. But that is about as close to fire I would get with them. If you could explain your need more, I might be able to respond more direct. They are a great workglove, heavy leather yet pliable. Love the string tightening mechanism & the quick release. Most of my gloves wear out before one season...not these. Even if you cant use them for your fire needs, i can guarantee you will use them for everything else. Hope this helps :)

Use them however works best to clean your cast iron, depending in the size/shape of the cast iron being cleaned. I recommend not using when the pan is still extremely hot.

These are excellent gloves for use with our wood stove and fire pit. Can't say if they would work for your purpose, but I have used them as garden gloves when pulling out pricker bushes and trimming holly bushes and remained unscratched.

You could always purchase silicon gloves, so that you didn't have to purchase handles and have the gloves for every use. They are good to about 450F and last forever.

I have never clean them, I am using them for baking bread, but I think I need to get other kind of gloves since I am burning my hands...

I use mine on a glass top stove. Just be sure your stove top is free of ANYTHING spilled on it if you want them to stay nice. Any small mark under it will leave a mark on the bottom. The outsides are very hard to keep nice. It's the only draw back that I have found to these pans.

Yes, the gloves are great for grabbing the greasy hot meat off the spit, but not the metal. They do not work as hot pads, so be careful!

They will handle the oven just fine. I often start a dish on the stove top and then transfer to the oven to finish. Dishwasher isn't recommended if you want to keep them pretty but it shouldn't hurt the performance of the pans.

Absolutely! I bought this wok and these handles a few weeks ago. They fit well and are a must because the cast iron gets very hot. I love them both.

As I'm not familiar with blacksmithing gloves, I'm not sure I can answer that. They're suede and as they're very good for woodstoves (especially the long length of them), I'm not sure they'd take the beating I would imagine blacksmithing would take on them.

Good question! I don't remember seeing anything in the literature that said they are oven safe. They have a plastic like insulating material on the handles that is quite heat resistant, but to what temperature I am not sure. With that said I absolutely love the set. I did notice a previous answer said they can only be used with electric stovetop, which is incorrect. They can be used on any Electric or Gas stove top (mine is an induction type and these things work great on it).
