Charcoal Companion High Heat Silicone Grill Glove — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Charcoal Companion High Heat Silicone Grill Glove?
The Charcoal Companion High Heat Silicone Grill Glove is a heat-resistant glove designed to protect your hands when handling hot surfaces, tools, or food on the grill. It offers flexibility and grip while resisting temperatures up to 475 °F (246 °C).
What are the materials, dimensions, and heat tolerance?
• Material: 100% silicone, with a ridged or textured grip surface.
• Dimensions: approximately 13.6″ L × 6.7″ W (length × width) for the glove style (single glove)
• Heat tolerance: safe up to **475 °F** (246 °C) per manufacturer specs.
• Ambidextrous / reversible usage: can be worn on either hand.
How do I use this silicone grill glove effectively?
• Slip it on before handling hot grates, pans, or baskets.
• Use the textured grip to securely move hot items without slipping.
• Flexibility allows you to manipulate smaller tools or adjust food while still protected.
• Because it's silicone, it’s great for quick tasks—grabbing, placing, shifting—without needing full steel mitts.
How should I clean and maintain it?
• Rinse or wash with warm, soapy water after use to remove grease, residue, or debris.
• Dry thoroughly before storing to prevent moisture retention.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to flaming embers or direct flame—although the glove is heat resistant, extreme direct flame can degrade silicone.
• Store flat or hung so it retains its shape and the textured surface isn’t crushed.
What are the advantages and limitations of this glove?
Advantages:
• Excellent heat protection for quick to moderate tasks at the grill
• Flexible and lightweight compared to bulky mitts
• Textured grip helps hold onto hot tools or food securely
• Reversible use (left or right hand) increases versatility
Limitations / considerations:
• Not ideal for prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct fire
• Silicone may slip on very wet or greasy surfaces if underwatered
• Because it's single layer silicone, it may not insulate as well as layered fabrics or aramid gloves
• It’s one glove—not a full pair—so you may have one hand protected only
