I sent this to a friend of mine for her birthday. She’s an avid dog lover/collector. She whooped and hollered with glee when she pulled it out of the box. As far as I know it fits the hand nicely, not to big. Works as an excellent oven mitt. [yahooquestion]oven+mit[/yahooquestion]
WHY IS AN MP3 FILE CALLED SO? MP3 is acronym for MPEG audio Layer-3. MPEG is the acronym for Moving Picture Experts Group, which developed compression systems, used for video data like DVD movies and HDTV broadcasts. The MP3 format is a compression system for music. It helps reduce the number of bytes in a song without affecting the quality of the sound. The goal of the MP3 format is to compress a CD-quality song by a factor of 10 to 14 without noticeably affecting the sound quality With MP3, a 32-megabyte (MB) song on a CD compresses to about. WHICH FAMOUS BIRD HAS A 'LAUGHING' AND 'BLUE-WINGED' VARIETY? The famous bird kookaburra has a 'laughing' and a 'blue winged' variety The laughing kookaburra, D novaeguineae, is slightly larger than the blue-winged kookaburra with a slightly longer bill. The blue-winged kookaburra also has a head streaked white, with a white rather than dark eye, and no dark patch behind the eye. The blue-winged kookaburra has a bright-blue wing patch and rump. The call is also quite different. WHAT IS GUTTATION? Guttation is the loss of water in the form of water droplets from hydathodes (small pores) on the leaf margin of a small herbacious plant. Water has the ability to rise up to 2 feet on its own through the xylem of the plant. During the evening or early morning, when the rate of absorption by roots exceeds the rate of transpiration (evaporation) by leaves, a lot of water gets accumulated in the plant body which can damage the cells. Plants have hydathodes at the end of the veins, through which this excess water is lost in the form of droplets. It takes place mostly in small plants like banana, rose, etc. WHAT IS GNOTOBLOLOGY? Gnotobiology is the science of study of animals or other organisms raised in environments free of germs or those which contain only specifically known germs. Scientists compare gnotohiotic animals with ordinary animals whose bodies carry many germs, like bacteria, viruses and parasites. In this way, scientists can determine more precisely how specific germs affect a body. WHAT IS BUFFERING IN INTERNET? Buffering is a situation which occurs when a streaming media player is saving portions of a streaming media file to local storage for playback. Most streaming media players buffer a small percentage of a streaming media presentation before beginning to play it. Buffering also may occur in the middle of a presentation when available bandwidth does not match the presentation's required bandwidth. WHAT IS A BIOMETRIC SECURITY SYSTEM? In security terminology, a biometric security system is an authentication technique that relies on a computer system to electronically validate a measurable biological characteristic which is physically unique and cannot be duplicated. Various types of biometric security systems are being used for real-time identification; the most popular are based on face recognition and fingerprint matching, iris and retinal scan, speech, facial thermograms, and hand geometry. WHERE ARE FILES AND WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET STORED? The internet is a collection of a large number of client-server based systems. So all files and other resources on it are stored on secondary storage devices of the re- spective servers. Servers of websites are termed as web servers. So when you type in a oven mit URL of a website in the address bar of your browser, it makes a connection to that web server which in turn fetches the data from the secondary storage device (such as the hard disk) that they must be using and returns it to the respective browser. The same holds true for any other resource (image, MP3 file, zipped file, etc.) that you access on the internet. WHY IS THERE NO B DRIVE IN A COMPUTER? It's not that computers don't have B drives. Initially, (hardly two decades ago), personal computers didn't have hard discs — they were equipped with two floppy drives called drives A and B. Later, a hard disk was introduced and was labelled as the C drive. Other drives like the CD drive, DVD drive, flash drive and others were labelled D, E, etc. If you have a computer having two floppy drives, then they are called A drive and B drive. WHAT IS E-WASTE? All obsolete electronic devices such as computers, servers, printers, monitors, TVs, cellphones, calculators, CDs, floppies, chips, processors, motherboard, PCB etc. end up as e-waste. E-waste contains many hazardous substances like PVC, plastics, heavy metals, Brominated Flame Retardants etc. WHAT ARE EFT MONITORS? Generally all types of monitors are a strain on our eyes. EFT, or Eye Fresh Technology, monitors have a vital coating on the rear that emits anions and far-infrarorf r-o-fresh and ease the strain on the eyes and relax the eyes and body. WHY ARE THE FREQUENCY OF FM CHANNELS GENERALLY BETWEEN 90 AND 110 MHZ? The term FM is slightly misleading because it stands for Frequency Modulation, a technique to broadcast radio waves. The frequencies between 80MHz to 110MHz, generally used to broadcast FM across the world, all fall in the VHP frequency range of 30Mhz to 300Mz. However, the first FM transmission took place in the US in the 1940s in the frequency band 42 to 50MHz. Later in 1945, the Federal Communications Commission allocated bands from 88 to 106MHz for FM broadcasting, citing reasons for its non-interference with other radio bands in and around a city Later, in western Europe, because of the already congested medium wave band, broadcasters preferred to migrate to the usual standard FM bands. In the UK, BBC broadcast for the first time in the FM band in 1955. Since then, FM has almost become an international standard for local broadcasts within city boundaries and the frequency range being used across the globe have been in the 88 to 106 MHz range only. WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD 'ROGER' IN TELECOM? It has its origin from the Morse code in which the end of communication was marked with dih-dahdih (.-.) which incidentally is a code for 'R'. For voice communication, people used an equivalent for every letter (e.g. Omega-Pie-England-Norway for OPEN). For R the equivalent was Roger. Hence, all the communication ended with .-.,i.e. Roger, meaning 'this communication is over'. WHAT IS AN ENCODER AND DECODER? An encoder is a device, which transforms the data into some bits known only to it and the decoder, is a device, which transforms those coded bits to generate the original data again. These two are mainly used in computer technology but the underlying concept can be used anywhere. For example, the name 'Delhi' can be coded as 'ihleD' or '45#1278'. Later, the decoder regenerates the original 'Delhi' from this code as it knows the coding scheme. WHAT IS IMEI? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUBWOOFER AND A WOOFER? There are no stark differences between these two speaker systems as both are used to reproduce lowfrequency sound notes. Subwoofers are designed to reproduce a band of frequencies below 30Hz level and woofers produce sounds above it. At times, the bands may overlap. The smallest diaphragm of a decent halfway woofer is 8 inches, in a subwoofer it is 12 inches. WHAT IS A SIMPUTER? The word 'Simputer' is an acronym for 'simple, inexpensive and multilingual people's computer'. It is a small, inexpensive, handheld computer, intended to bring computing power to developing countries. It includes text-to-speech software and runs the GNU/ Linux operating systems. The device was designed by the Simputer Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in November 1999. Simputers are generally used in environments where computing devices such as PCs cannot be used. WHAT IS BLUE TOOTH TECHNOLOGY? Bluetooth is a low cost, low power radio interface standard for wireless communication over short distances. It's an open standard for allowing intelligent devices to communicate with each other. This allows any sort of electronic equipment (from computers and cell phones to keyboards and headphones) to make its own connections, without wires, cables or any direct action from a user. It could allow for replacing many propriety cables that connect one device to another with one universal radio link. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES? WHEN WAS WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM CREATED? The earliest avtar of Microsoft Windows was Interface Manager, which was being developed in September 1981. The first ever version of Windows operating system was announced on November 10, 1983. It was an extension of MS DOS, and sported a graphic user interface. Windows 1.0 was finally released into market in November, 1985. WHAT IS BETA TESTING? Typically, software goes through two stages of testing before it is considered finished. Only users within the organization developing the software often perform the first stage, called alpha testing. The second stage, called beta testing, generally involves a limited number of external users. Beta testing is the formal process of soliciting feedback on software still under development. Beta testing is usually the last step a software developer takes before releasing the product to market. WHAT IS SPYWARE? With reference to last week's answer, I'd like to point out that spywares don't come typically named spy ware. exe like spyware32,exe, ispyexe or such. It can be kazaa.exe, msbb.exe, newsupd.exe, dider.exe, etc. Deleting all registry keys is ownright suicidal because the operating system (Windows) would be dead without any registry keys. If the statement is supposed to mean deleting "all infected/ spyware modified" registry keys, that's still a tough call because unless the user is an expert about that particular spyware, it's impossible. More than one anti-spyware software is neededto keep one's PC spyware-free. WHY IS IT ADVISED TO SWITCH OFF THE MOBILE PHONE IN PETROL PUMPS? Cell phones are asked to be switched off at petrol pumps as they are a potential ignition source to the flammable vapours in that atmosphere.

I bought this for my petite mother-in-law and it was a disaster. I think she could have fit half her body in there, in addition to her hands. Even I had trouble with it, and I have very long fingers and usually have no problem fitting into oven mitts and gloves. There was a full 2 inches of empty space when I put it on, so I couldn’t get a good grip and I sent mine back. I gave this 2 stars instead of just 1 because the quality was lovely.
Good product, insulated from the heat. It’s a bit stiff not sure it will hold up over extended use. Could be a problem for small hands.
So far so good.
This oven mitt definitely protects my hand from heat but the silicon is very inflexible so it is difficult to grip the hot dishes in the oven. I still use it but it didn’t replace my old pot holders like I hoped it would. I LOVE the magnet (the glove is on the front of my oven right now) but if it were a little stronger it would not fall on the floor when I open the oven door.
I got both the glove and trivet. I loved both when I first got them, and the magnets are really functional and a great idea. However, after 6 months and several washings, the fabric is faded and pill-y. Curiously, the magnets no longer stick as well. When I first got these, i loved that i can slap them on the front of my stainless stove and they stay exactly where I put them. Now, both the glove and trivet will slide down the stove until they hit the floor, though they stay put once they have the floor supporting their weight. I don’t like this at all. I’m now looking for something more durable, maybe something made entirely of silicone
Better protection than a cloth oven mitt by far. The silicone grips are on both sides so the mitt can be worn lefty or righty.
This oven mitt is great. There is a magnet by the wrist which I use to very conveniently affix to my stove top vent.
These are larger than your standard oven mitts sold at various kitchen stores; larger, thicker, more durable, high heat resistant, and comfortable. Perfect in every way.
Another high quality Le Creuset product.
Very attractive and thick, and I love the magnets. I’d stay away from laundering them, though. After I machine washed my mitt, it doesn’t look as new and the color bled a little.
I have been using this mitt for 3 months, and I am very unhappy with it. Le Creuset should be embarrassed to have its name attached to it. I cook a lot, and when using the mitt with high temperature pans from the oven, I have to be careful not to hold on too long. The heat becomes uncomfortable, feeling on the verge of burning. Also, the mitt has become discolored from the heat, showing burn marks where it has gripped hot pans. I just bought a $3 mitt from Smart and Final, and it is much more functional.
This mitts are among the best over mitts I’ve ever used (the other close contender is the kool-tech, and I think I like this new Calphalon one better). They offer great heat protection (I regularly move around an iron pot that’s been in the oven at 500F for an hour, baking bread), great grippiness, and the fit and manueverability is as good an any other oven mitt I’ve used. Granted it’s not as nimble as the gloves you would wear in cold weather, but they never are. It’s comparable to a somewhat stiff mitten.
I am a man with large but not huge hands (a large glove size fits me), and I don’t find extra space at the end of the finger section as one commenter posted. In fact the thumb joint doesn’t come all the way down to mine so shorter fingers than mine would fit without leaving space. The seams seem to be very sturdily sewn.
You can not hold anything that is hot for very long. It is not as heat resistent as other gloves/mitts that I have purchased.
I agree with Josh who wrote the “Too Big” review. Good quality but too big and the thumb is too short. You have no dexterity, to the point that they do not feel safe to use while moving hot cookie trays.
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.
This pot holder is marginally better than the 10 year old one it replaced and had been washed/wet several times, thus necessitating the need to buy a new one that was more heat resistant. IMHO, this Caphelon one isn’t worth the premium name or price. For starters, the webbing that is in the area where the thumb portion is attached to the main mitt part does not do a good job at all in sealing out the heat, so its borderline dangerous. The entire mitt has these somewhat slick/sticky lines on it that hinder your ability to cleanly release item to and from the oven. On the plus side, the length of the glove is good. I’ll use it, but I definitely wouldn’t buy another one, or recommend it to someone else.
I own both the frog and the dog models of this potholder. I use them both all the time and absolutely love them. Not only are they adorable and great conversation-starters, but they’re useful too. I scored them 4 stars instead of 5 because, like other silicone potholders and pads, the heat bleeds through fairly quickly. Additionally, because of the eyes on the frog and the ears on the dog, they don’t fit very well in shallow kitchen drawers and the eyes / ears tend to get caught. The two models do nest together, however.
