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. :-)>>
 
No, they are definitely neoprene.  Black, soft, and kind of rubbery  feeling. 
 They FEEL like they should immediately melt to whatever you are  picking up, 
but they don't. I was very surprised, and so was my husband.   Don't think I 
have the tags anymore, though.
