Choosing the Best Oven Mitts and Potholders
When you're ready to handle hot pots on the stove or pull baking sheets from the oven, make sure you're prepared with the right oven mitts and potholders. Home essentials like these ensure you're staying safe while you cook and bake your favorite dishes and treats. Whether you need a set of mitts, a single potholder, or a combination mitt-and-potholder set, you'll find what you need with us.
Benefits and Features of Oven Mitts
Protect your hands while you take hot casserole and baking dishes out of the oven with the right mitts. Oven mitts slip over your hands like a glove. Most mitts come up to your forearm to ensure complete coverage. Mitts often come with a heat-resistant lining for added protection. Look for mitts with built-in loops or grommets. This makes it easy to hang them up for storage when they're not in use.
Oven mitts come in different materials. Choose from mitts made with a heavyweight cotton twill outer with a protective cotton terry lining, or ones crafted from supple full-grain leather that's finished with a water-repellant coat. Silicone mitts offer high heat resistance. Textured detail on the silicone provides nonslip traction and insulation to protect your hands when you're moving hot roasting pans and pots.
Consider mitts designed with a long split cuff for extra protection. When it comes to caring for your mitts, some can be wiped down with a wet cloth, while others are machine washable.
Specialized mitts keep your hands safe while you prepare other types of food. Grill enthusiasts will appreciate a grilling mitt made with a stretchable, form-fitting cuff that protects the forearm. Keep your knuckles and fingers safe from accidental scrapes while you grate with Microplane® cut-resistant gloves that fit either hand.
Browse mitts by color if you're looking to match or contrast with your kitchen aesthetic. Our mitts come in options such as vintage brown, black, red, aqua and sage green. You'll also find fun character-themed options with us, like our Disney Mickey Mouse™ mitts. These mitts coordinate with matching Mickey and Minnie aprons. Bring a festive touch to your kitchen during the holidays with The Grinch™ oven mitt and potholder set.
Benefits and Features of Potholders
Potholders keep your hands safe while you hold hot pots and pans. They also protect your hands from high heat thanks to their durable design. Slip your hand into the slim pocket as you pull dishes and pans out of the oven or move pans on the stovetop.
Several of the potholders in our collection are spun from heavyweight cotton. The Williams Sonoma Ultimate Potholder is made from a durable cotton construction dipped in silicone for heat resistance and a nonslip grip. The fleece lining in the pocket adds extra comfort.
You'll find potholders finished in solid colors and classic stripes. Discover unique offerings like a honeycomb pattern or a vibrant, vintage print of lemons and bright blossoms. Arts and Crafts-inspired patterns also decorate our mitt-and-potholder sets. In addition to the variety of patterns and prints on our sets, you'll find that some are part of our Williams Sonoma collection.
Kitchen linens, like our oven mitts and potholders, are an important part of any kitchen. Whether you're drying your hands on kitchen towels, protecting your clothes from splatters with an apron, or keeping your hands protected with grilling mitts, ensure you have just what you need at Williams Sonoma.
