I enjoy cooking at home for my family. I use mostly cast iron cookware, which produces great food but gets very hot. To protect my hands from the heat, I often use silicone cooking gloves. I also often check the temperature of my food with a thermometer, especially when I am cooking raw meat. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review some BBQ gloves and an instant digital thermometer from Lot Fancy in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add to my kitchen utensils.
Price
The set of BBQ gloves and instant digital thermometer currently retails for $39.90 with a sale price of $24.99 on Amazon. Other similar silicone cooking gloves cost between $10 and $20. Other similar digital thermometers cost approximately $25, which some priced a little less and many a little more. For the set of both, I consider the current sale price reasonable.
Design
Made with orange BPA-free FDA-approved food grade silicone, the BBQ gloves from LotFancy can withstand temperatures up to 450°. The five-finger design offers control and flexibility while the textured surface provides excellent grip, allowing for the handling of a variety of kitchen utensils. The gloves are waterproof and non-stick so food, grease, grill grime, marinades, oil, and more washes right off with ease. Toss the gloves in the dishwasher for easy cleanup or use hot soapy water.
Portable and easy to use, the instant digital thermometer from LotFancy features a compact size for even easier storage. Use the built-in magnet to attach the orange thermometer to any magnetic surface or use the carrying hole to hang it on a hook. With high precision temperature accuracy ±1°, the temperature results show up on the LCD screen in as quickly as four seconds. The device displays either Fahrenheit or Celsius and automatically switches off after ten minutes of inactivity. The thermometer requires one AAA battery (not included).
Performance
The BBQ gloves from LotFancy work great to protect my hands from hot cookware. I simply slip my hands into the silicone gloves, and then I can touch any temperature surface up to 450°. The silicone is flexible, so I can wrap my hands around skillet handles, pots, and baking sheets. The textured surface of the gloves provides traction, which helps me get a grip on even the hottest cookware with ease. Cleanup is a breeze. If I spill just a little bit of food on the surface, I can rinse the silicone in my sink with some hot soapy water. When really dirty, the gloves wash up easily in my dishwasher. I am therefore very pleased with my new LotFancy silicone BBQ gloves.
Using the instant digital thermometer from LotFancy is also incredibly easy. Start by opening the folding probe and pressing the on/off switch to turn the devices on. Then stick the probe in your food and the temperature reading appears within four to eight seconds depending on how hot your food is. The thermometer also features a hold function that allows you to freeze the temperature reading on the LCD screen. Simply press the hold button next to the on/off button before withdrawing the probe from your food. The thermometer also automatically turns off after ten minutes of inactivity to extend the battery life. I have another more complex food thermometer that I sometimes use, but I like the LotFancy thermometer a lot better by far because of the simplicity. I love that all I have to do is turn the device on and stick the probe in my food: No messing with settings or modes! I therefore rate this thermometer extremely highly in terms of ease of use.
I also love the compact size of the instant digital thermometer from LotFancy. The probe folds up to make the device a mere 5.9 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches. When unfolded, the thermometer measures 10.6 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches. Instead of stashing the device in the drawer with the rest of my kitchen utensils, I love that I can use the magnet on my fridge to keep the thermometer within easy reach. The orange looks great in my kitchen, which is decorated in warm colors. The probe is easy to clean with a little bit of warm water and a soft cloth. I could not be happier with my new LotFancy instant digital thermometer.
Final Verdict
If you do a lot of home cooking, heat-proof gloves and a food thermometer are a must. I am very pleased with my new BBQ gloves and instant digital thermometer from Lot Fancy. Made with orange BPA-free FDA-approved food grade silicone, the gloves withstand temperatures up to 450°. The five-finger design offers control and flexibility while the textured surface provides excellent grip, even on the hottest surfaces. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. The portable instant digital thermometer from LotFancy features a compact size, fold-up probe, and built-in magnet. With high precision temperature accuracy ±1°, the temperature results show up on the LCD screen quickly. Using the thermometer is as easy as the press of a button. I love that I can use the magnet on my fridge to keep the device within easy reach. I highly recommend the set of BBQ gloves and instant digital thermometer from Lot Fancy.
