As with all my reviews regarding kitchen gear, they are from two perspectives: mine (of course), and my spouse's. I'm just a regular kitchen schmo, but she is a professional chef who has attended culinary school.We've had these oven mitts for about a year now, and we're both more-or-less pretty happy with them. I mostly just use them for when I bake cookies and pizzas, which I feel is pretty representative of your typical baking usage. When it comes to oven mitts, I have a low bar for satisfaction: do they fit and do they keep my hands cool? In this case, they do.
My spouse uses them quite a bit more extensively than I do; she bakes nearly every single day and uses them for handling a lot of cast-iron cookware. Her biggest complaint is that the shape and silicon coating makes it difficult to use them with a natural thumb motion. To clarify, it's easy to move your thumb into your hand (i.e. thumb touching the side of your index finger), but difficult to move your thumb across your palm (ie, thumb touching pinky). As such, it's not the best for stove-top usage (gripping handles) or for things like 9"x13"x2" pans where you need to get your thumb around the top for a good grip.
Still, they're perfectly serviceable and after a year of hard usage, they don't show any sign of fraying or having the silicone coating wearing off - which is more than you can say for your average inexpensive oven mitt.
