Monday Mystery

Last week's close up

DSCN0618

showed part of

DSCN0615

which was correctly identified by Adrian, Dave and Kev as an oven glove. Thanks to all who had a go.I first discovered Coolskin® at least a decade ago when they were on sale on a well known satellite shopping channel. I liked the idea of having a fingered glove rather than a mitten for better grip and control. They were advertised as being in use by several fire brigades so I gave a pair a try. Excellent. After taking a hot dish out of the oven the outside of the glove can be too hot to touch but the inside is barely warm. Just watch out for scalding steam as that can penetrate the glove.

Once again a close view

Want to have a guess as to what it is? Please leave any guesses in the comments. They will be revealed, along with the answer, next Monday.

  1. Feather duster.
    The best insulator I have found is a slice off one of those artificial coals one sees in gas fires. 3mm thick and I could pop it on my finger and play an Oxy-propane torch on it and feel nothing.
