Using this silicone mitt is easy. Just slip your hand into the mitt and you're ready to handle hot items in the oven or on the stovetop. When using, make sure the mitt is dry to maintain its non - slip feature. Don't expose the mitt to open flames or temperatures higher than 240°C/464°F as it may damage the material. For maintenance, you can hand - wash the mitt with mild soap and water. Let it air dry completely before using it again. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure its longevity.
