Burnt hands, dropped dishes, singed decorative towels — good oven mitts can solve all these kitchen mishaps. The Five Two by Food52 Silicone Oven Mitts hit every mark, offering the perfect combination of insulation, flexibility, and grip strength to handle even the heaviest pot. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re quite easy on the eyes.

Made from BPA-free silicone and cotton, this pair of mitts keeps your hands insulated from heat up to a whopping 650 degrees. “These oven mitts are so good we featured them in Kitchn Essentials ,” shares tools editor, Riddley. “They have a silicone portion that’s both protective and flexible enough to easily grab onto the handles of a casserole dish, a Dutch oven, a pan of brownies — you get the idea! I also love how long they are, which means they’ll protect your forearms from accidental kitchen splashes or slips.” Unlike some options that rely on bulk to protect, the Five Two versions are thin and flexible, so even smaller hands can grip like a champ. And don’t fret about messes, because you can clean these mitts in the dishwasher or the washing machine.

Now on to looks, because, as Kitchn lifestyle director, Lisa, notes , “If you’re the type who hangs your oven mitts on display for easy access or you care what you look like when you bring a casserole to the table, these mitts are for you.” The built-in magnets can attach to metal surfaces, showing off the design, eliminating extra hooks or wasted drawer space, and making them easier to grab when the timer goes off.

Useful and pretty? Add these to your cart stat! And if you’re looking for more great finds, check our other top picks from the sale here .
