I got these for my husband mostly, but I've used them a few times to take baking sheets out of the oven and I was disappointed that the heat went right through the gloves.  I couldn't hold something hot for more than about 5 seconds, which kind of defeats the purpose.

When I used these, I burned the bottom of the muffins that I made. I used the same ingredients, the same cooking time, the same pan in the same oven as I have many times before and yet the bottom of the muffins burned black. I'm not sure what happened, but the only difference was the cups (I made another batch just now with different cups, they came out perfect). They are very pretty though.

Used the mitts to take a pan out of the oven, no protection from the heat.  Burned both hands. Based on other reviews I thought it would be ok to use the mitts the same way I would a regular  pot holder.

I have Silpat silicone baking liners, but I picked up this red KitchenAid mat at a discount store.  It was considerably cheaper than my Silpat, and for good reason.  It curls in the oven (although it goes back to its original shape when cool), but more importantly, it gives off some noxious fumes that sets off my natural gas detector alarm on the second floor.  The first time this happened, I thought it was coincidental.  The second time, I knew I would never use it in the oven again.  Now, my gas alarm is a little finicky; it goes off when I use airborne cleaning supplies in the same room (like Windex or Fantastic in a spray bottle), but the fact it goes off when I bake with the KitchenAid means that some sort of chemical is released into the air, enough of it to go up the stairs and into my laundry room.  The second time, I had to evacuate my bird and open all the windows.

I will not use this for baking again, not even at temperatures under 400.  (KitchenAid claims that it is safe up to 500 degrees.)  It does make a decent mat for rolling out dough, and it does indeed keep baked good from sticking, hence the two stars.

I am an avid home cook & had heard a lot of really good things about the "Ove' Glove" and was excited when my old oven mitts bit the dust so I could buy these. Unfortunately I'm really disappointed, if I hold a hot pan for more than 3 seconds with these I feel the heat coming through! I expected so much more from the famous "Ove' Glove!" :(

I was really looking forward to getting these because they claim to brown foods better while keeping them out of the grease. Sadly I was disappointed - I like to cook bacon in the oven so I don't have to spend time standing over a splattering frying pan. I line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place the bacon strips on top and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. When I used these silicone sheets instead it took more than twice as long in the oven and the bacon never did get completely browned. I feel like it was a waste of money.

I love the look but they aren't very good oven mitts.  Just taking something out of the oven to sit on top and they heat through. even with them on my on burnt his hand (they were new, not wet and had no holes in them.  They work for protecting the table and the counters though.

These oven gloves are great but if holding a hot cookie pan for an extended time like while taking them off the sheet, you can feel the heat and have to quickly put in down.

I've owned two other Kevlar, heat resistant kitchen gloves in the past and was excited to find these reasonably priced but highly rated gloves.  I've used them for a month and I'm disappointed in their ability to insulate my hands against heat from items I remove from the microwave or oven.  I can hardly get from the oven to the table without my hands starting to burn.  I've only used one of the two gloves and wonder whether the one in use is defective.  On the positive side, the gloves fit better than the other pairs I've owned.  They are not as large.

So they definitely protect the pan and keep from having to clean but they're a little oversized for a mini loaf pan and can be difficult to work with. obviously when they're cooked you can simply pass them out like a cupcake but they tend to be a little smushed and misshapen.

The two bigger ones are too long to be able to put in the oven next to another pan, because the handle curve out.  So, I can only fit them in sideways.  So, the biggest one, I have used 2 or 3 times, because it isn't convenient.  Tonight, I noticed that the big one is now bowed.  It does not sit flat.  I'm really disappointed that it is messed up like that.

I find the preheat doesn't work well for baking.  Doesn't get to right temp quickly.  Pretty much use it for toast and bagels.  Would not buy again.

I toasted 4 slices of bread in the oven, the two slices placed towards the back were burned and the two slices in front were just right. Often have a portion of my food burned due to this. The manufacturer should fix this problem.

I was really excited about these, but you will burn your hands if you use then as hot pads , the heat goes right through them, but as to set hot pans on they are ok, the heat goes right to the table

These are good for baking cookies where you don't need to waste sheets of parchment paper or fight with paper that does not fit the sheet pan. However, I would not use them for much else. Anything else like meat or vegetables that has liquid that would cook out will get all over these and your sheet pan which makes cleaning annoying.

I get the baking bug for the office pretty regularly, and with hundreds of coworkers I thought something like this would be great for making little bite-sized treats. Unfortunately, I've thrown mine in the trash after multiple failed attempts. No matter what I've done to grease the pans, short of spending ages lining each pocket with parchment squares, I cannot get anything to release after baking. Even if I manage to salvage a few squares once they've cooled, most end up falling apart and leaving a terrible mess behind. With the small pocket sizes, cleaning all the detritus out is time consuming.

Surprised these are considered heat resistant; heat comes through to fingers within two or three seconds of removing a baking dish from the oven!  OUCH!
