I ordered one of these from Lakeland two weeks ago and I NEED another one!
They're brilliant, my only criticism is I think two are essential. Everything from using it to plunge your hands into water that's too hot, to taking things out of the oven and not having to worry you've a clear space because in 10 secs you hand is going to start burning. I thought they were gimmicky and a bit of a sad thing to order however my OH reads the neil gaiman blog and he recommended it saying you could round around the house pretending you were a character from futurama. I have to admit Niel Gaiman was right and I was wrong!!

My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.

We've got one, but my hands are too small to grip anything with it. I prefer the oven gloves that have got fingers.We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment0

Was considering this as I am always burning myself but I have small hands so am not so sure now. Does anyone who has small hands get on with it okay?We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0
