The Poppin' Oven Mitts look extremely similar to bubble wrap packaging. As satisfying as it is to pop real sheets of bubble wrap, the cleverly designed mitts are actually made from unpoppable and heat-resistant silicone to protect your hands from damage in the kitchen. The deceptive design makes the best use of silicone's qualities to emulate the translucency and lightness of the packaging material. The mitts are a refreshing change from traditional fabric-lined oven mitts and makes for a humorous way to delivery hot items from the oven to the table.
The novelty oven mitts would make a hilarious gag gift for disaster-prone chefs as a reminder to handle heat with extra care in the kitchen.
