This oven mitt is made of neoprene. The mitt protects your hands and wrists from the heat of oven dishes and cake pans. On the outside, the non-slip surface ensures a good grip. The neoprene is water-repellent, so the oven mitt continues to insulate even when it gets wet. The mitt can be used by both left- and right-handed people. Clean the oven mitt if desired with warm water and dish soap.
