Which glove should you pick?
Grilling, smoking, and everyday dry heat
Pick the classic Grill Armor Gloves. The aramid outer will not catch fire or melt when exposed to an open flame (per the product page), the silicone coating adds grip, and they are machine washable and EN407 certified. They are not waterproof and do not protect against heat from hot liquid—keep them dry.
Wet food, brining, boiling, sauces, and greasy meat
Pick the Waterproof Oven Gloves. Food-grade neoprene is listed as water, fire, and stain resistant, with hot liquid and hot oil protection and a 14" sleeve for forearm coverage. Clean with soap and water.
Campfire, fire pit, coals, sparks, and welding
Pick the Campfire & Welding Gloves. Double-layer leather, 16" cuff, and reinforced padding are built for grinding debris, welding sparks, hot coals, and open flames. They are not waterproof (oil resistant). The listing also notes Stick/Mig/Flux-Core welding and forge use.
- Will gloves touch wet or greasy food or hot liquid? → Waterproof neoprene.
- Mostly dry metal, grates, and pans? → Classic aramid.
- Open flame, coals, sparks, or welding? → Leather campfire/welding.
- Still unsure? Start with classic aramid for everyday cooks, then add waterproof for sauce season.
