Heat Resistant Gloves
Heat-resistant gloves protect your hands from high temperatures, open flame, hot cookware, and grilling surfaces. Whether you’re pulling a cast-iron skillet from a 500°F oven, handling coals at the grill, tending a fireplace, or working near a forge, the right pair keeps you safe from burns while keeping full dexterity.
Our heat-resistant line spans EN407-certified oven gloves rated to 932°F, premium leather BBQ & fireplace gloves, and Nomex/Kevlar grilling gloves — in silicone-gripped, extra-long-cuff, and mitt styles. Family-owned in Philadelphia since 1985, G & F Products builds gear that stands up to real heat.
Heat-Resistant Gloves for Every Task
Match the glove to the job: silicone-coated oven gloves grip wet or greasy cookware and wipe clean; leather BBQ & fireplace gloves handle radiant heat, sparks, and rough grates with extra-long cuffs that shield the forearm; and Nomex/Kevlar aramid gloves give flame resistance for grilling and light industrial heat. Look for the EN407 rating and the maximum contact temperature to pick the right level of protection.
Heat-Resistant Glove FAQs
What temperature can heat-resistant gloves withstand? It varies by material — our EN407-certified oven gloves are rated up to 932°F for short contact, while leather BBQ gloves handle sustained radiant grill and fireplace heat. Always check the product’s stated rating and use for brief contact, not prolonged holding.
Are they oven-safe? Yes — the oven-mitt styles are made for pulling hot pans, trays, and Dutch ovens. Silicone and aramid (Nomex/Kevlar) options resist both dry oven heat and steam.
Leather vs. Nomex vs. silicone — which should I choose? Leather is best for BBQ, fireplace, and grate handling where you need abrasion resistance and spark protection; Nomex/Kevlar is best for flame and higher heat with a lighter feel; silicone is best for kitchen and greasy cookware where grip and easy cleaning matter.
How do I care for them? Wipe silicone and coated gloves clean; keep leather dry and condition occasionally; let all heat gloves cool fully and store away from open flame. Replace any glove with charring, holes, or a compromised lining.
