I use them for everything from makeshift trivets to grabbing lumps of burning charcoal in my smoker's firebox. They are essential. The silicone gloves are great for moving big cuts of hot meat around, or canning tasks, like Danielle said, but they are unwieldy. I'm pretty sure I saw some 'new and improved' version somewhere-- maybe it will be written about here...hmmmm. I love the welder gloves, too.

I do use some thick rubber insulated gloves for that sort of thing, though.

We have a pair of those silicon gloves (my partner, Dave, likes to refer to them as his Doom Gloves and demo them by pouring boiling water over his hands). I find them unwieldy, though I rely on them for pulling jars and ramekins out of boiling water. I bet welding gloves would make a nice replacement for my dish towels and potholders in other circumstances. (Plus, maybe having a pair would inspire me to finally get around to doing some more welding.) This is a brilliant idea!
