<<< Not actually cooking stuff per se, but my hubby got me a pair of
oven mitts
that have a neoprene grip pad. They are guaranteed to 500 degrees and I
haven't felt even warmth through them, plus they make it very easy to
hold onto
things. >>>
Do you mean silicone, or whatever the new material is that is showing
up in a lot of cooking items, usually of a light color? Neoprene is
usually black and it usually melts at a fairly low temperature. These
do sound useful. Several of our kitchen mittens are scorched or have
been burned until they have openings through them.
These also sound useful for those on this list who do things like
diving into hot convection ovens. :-)
<<< Ordinarily I don't like the square oven mitts that you stick your
hand in - I prefer the mitten ones - but I can deal with these very
easily. >>>
I like the mittens better myself. I think they give me better control.
<<< Of course, I got him a set of Lego salt and pepper
shakers off the web site that got posted here a few weeks ago, and
ordered
the ice cube trays that make Lego bricks, but those were backordered
until March! >>>
Please tell us/me how these turn out. I considered those when someone
here gave a link to the site, but it looked to me like the bottom of
the ice Lego block, unlike the plastic ones, would be smooth and thus
wouldn't mate with the pegs on the top of other lego ice blocks. Thus
you couldn't stack the lego ice blocks to make walls and other nifty
things. But I may have mis-interpreted the photographs wrong. I think
the site gave only pictures of the ice cube trays but no resulting
ice cubes.
