Receta Oven mitts: like or dislike?

by Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)

Welcome to Like or Dislike, where you get to share how you really feel about ingredients from the pantry, ingredients I'm thinking about adding to my pantry, other seasonal foods, and favorite cooking gear. The things you like are sure to find their way to the recipes here on The Perfect Pantry, so do tell.

Do you have one of these in your kitchen? Maybe not this exact one, but a puffy oven mitt someone has brought home from their travels, or one you've bought as a souvenir? Do you have a pile of oven mitts? I do, but I have to admit that I don't love using them. Whether made of fabric, or silicone, oven mitts just feel clunky, and at the same time, too thin, to me. I much prefer pot holders for grabbing things off the stove or out of the oven. How do you feel about oven mitts in general -- do you use them, collect them, give them as gifts, or avoid them?
