These covers are made of vegetable-tanned leather, durable and perfect to protect your hands from those hot pans! These are easier to slide on than silicone covers, and easier to store, and less likely to burn like a cloth one.
Maintenance: As with all leather gear, tack, and goodies, it is important to keep it hydrated, just like our own skin! To oil these covers, make sure it is clean and free of dirt, which can be wiped gently away with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. It is important not to use synthetic oils like Neatsfoot Compound, and to instead use 100% Pure Neatsfoot Oil, or Obenauf’s Leather Oil. DO NOT use olive oil or any type of cooking oil on your leather, as they can go rancid and ruin the leather.
