The Best Oven Mitts for Kids to Help Them in the Kitchen

Lisa McManus reviews kids’ oven mitts.

UPDATE: Our favorite kid's oven mitt, the Williams Sonoma Junior Chef Oven Mitt, has been discontinued by the manufacturer, though some units remain available for purchase in stores. In its place, we now recommend the Curious Chef Child Chef Mitt Set.

ABOUT US: Located in Boston’s Seaport District in the historic Innovation and Design Building, America's Test Kitchen features 15,000 square feet of kitchen space including multiple photography and video studios. It is the home of Cook’s Illustrated magazine and Cook’s Country magazine and is the workday destination for more than 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

Do you guys already have a video on the best oven mitts for adults? if not, would love to see one.

[puretoronto]

And where is the adult video... I can’t buy anything for the kitchen without ATK telling what to get.

[elisewalker]

I have small hands and I like the coruis oven mitts

[jacquelinestevenson]

dear americas test kitchen can you find me bake this recipe with bake

[wvjmat]

I don’t agree that the last mitt was the correct one for that little girl. Once she had it on her hand, she struggled trying to get a hold of the sheet. What would she do with a hot sheet coming out of the oven? Not a good choice at all.

[anythingyoucando]

It was obvious that it was staged. For the last mitt the kid forced the baking pan into her covered hand. I cannot overlook that.

[Passionforfoodrecipes]

Just get pot holders man, one size fits all. Plus they're more versatile

[BobSmith-gkvs]

Kids need to learn to embrace the burns!

[mtmetis]

No longer available, according to WS website. Disappointed ATK not more up to date on products they recommend.

[etpe]

why not scrap the video ... or the ending. and mention the new product

[SpeakingCommonSense]

I love your videos, but if one is discounted, you now magically recommend one you crapped on in the beginning? We wouldn't be sad if you did the test over with more mitts and found one you really liked...

But I guess getting the video out and getting those clicks is more important. I love most of your videos and often buy what you recommend, which makes this all the more disappointing.

[EileenJOfficial]

Anyone else buy what they recommend, and it breaks in less than 6 month? I bought 2 items oxo measuring cup(loosing lettering) and Rubbermaid storage containers are cracked in less than a year. Disappointing

[mtmetis]

Since you are now admitting the item is discontinued, why not take down the video? Disappointing all around ATK!
