Cootie Catcher Kitchen Mitts

These Irregularly Shaped Oven Gloves Will Keep Your Fingers Burn-Free

— November 13, 2013 — Art & Design
While you may have an attachment to your worn, soft fabric kitchen mitts, these oven gloves known as 'pylamittens' will have you tossing your old ones in the trash.

At first glance, you wouldn't believe these are oven mitts, as they don't cover your entire hand and they don't have some sort of animal or patterned design on them. Instead, pylamittens are shaped like the childhood cootie catcher game as only your fingers can fit in the designated holes. When you want to lift something out of the oven you even clasp the tray by closing the lips of the mitt.

The interior of these gloves has ridges so it'll ensure nothing will slip and crash on the ground, and even though the oven gloves are thin, the silicone material will ensure no heat will reach your skin.
