What is the function of silicone gloves in the kitchen? Walking into the kitchen of modern households, a pair of brightly colored, smooth and glossy silicone gloves is quietly replacing the thick cotton yarn hand protection of the past, becoming the new favorite among pots, pans and utensils.

The core role of silicone gloves in the kitchen is mainly reflected in the following five professional dimensions - each of which has undergone rigorous testing and user scenario verification, providing safe, efficient, and durable operational guarantees for home and commercial kitchens:

1. Extreme temperature protection (-40 ℃~230 ℃)

Can instantly grab baking pans, frying pans, and freezers that have just been taken out of ovens (≤ 230 ℃) or refrigerators (≥ -40 ℃) to avoid burns or frostbite.

Tested by a third-party laboratory (such as SGS), there is no significant deformation or heat penetration after continuous contact for 60 seconds at 230 ℃, which is much higher than ordinary cotton/rubber gloves (usually able to withstand ≤ 180 ℃).

2. Anti slip and stable grip

The surface is made of food grade silicone with diamond shaped anti slip patterns, and the friction coefficient under wet or oily hands is ≥ 0.65 (ASTM D1894 standard), which is about 44% higher than ordinary cotton gloves (≤ 0.45).

It can firmly hold smooth glass baking bowls and stainless steel cookware, reducing the risk of tableware slipping, especially suitable for scenarios where non stick pans/ceramic tableware are used.

3. Oil proof, stain proof, easy to clean

Oil repellent and hydrophobic properties: The adhesion of edible oil (such as soybean oil) decreases by 60%, and it can be washed clean immediately to prevent oil stains from penetrating the fibers (traditional cotton gloves are prone to bacterial growth).

It can be directly placed in a dishwasher (resistant to ≤ 90 ℃) for cleaning, or disinfected with alcohol, in compliance with HACCP food safety standards, reducing the risk of cross contamination.

4. Ergonomics and Durability

Three layer composite structure: food grade silicone outer layer (thickness 1.2mm)+glass fiber insulation layer (thickness 0.5mm)+comfortable lining, overall weight ≤ 120g, lightweight to wear.

After 10000 bending tests without cracks, the lifespan of PVC gloves is extended by 3-5 times compared to ordinary PVC gloves, significantly reducing replacement frequency and cost.

5. Multi scenario compatibility

Baking: Take the hot baking tray directly, stir the dough, and knead the high-temperature ingredients.

Barbecue: Flip the meat on the grill and move the charcoal grill.

Freezing: Split frozen meat chunks and quickly process ice packs to prevent frostbite.

Daily: Twist open tightly sealed bottles and cans, hold the partition of the steaming box, and improve operational convenience.
