Double oven gloves[edit]

What's the difference with "double oven gloves"? Are these separate gloves or double thickness? 144.32.126.12 (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oven glove → Oven mitt — Is "oven glove" really the more common of the terms? I'm from Minnesota and the only term I have ever heard used is oven mitt. Stonemason89 (talk) 04:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've seen it both ways. There's even an infomercial for something called the "Ove'Glove", which was reviewed in Consumer Reports as well... 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:00, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here in England it is called an oven glove. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:12, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If true, WP:ENGVAR would require us to leave it where it is. Though I note the article has no sources at all, let alone any that indicate what it's called in England. Powers ^T 11:01, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – You can buy a Simpsons oven glove from the Wal-Mart colony known as Asda, whereas that quintessentially British store Harrods offers a traditional oven mitt. I think it is quite likely both terms are widely used in both countries, so maybe we could just keep the status quo? Green Giant (talk) 14:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- "Oven glove" is very rare in the U.S. Asda is still very British even if it's owned by Wal-Mart. Powers ^T 17:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - "Oven glove" and "oven mitt" can refer to different types, at least in the UK (see Asda and Harrods links above). Peter E. James (talk) 02:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Google has it about 3:1 for "oven glove" over "oven mitt". But I'm not too worried, as long as both get to the same article. Facts707 (talk) 17:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Mitt?[edit]

Is there any evidence anywhere to support this claim? That the glove was created by a baker called Mitt? I don't believe it and can't find any references to support it - nothing reliable anyway. 🍺 Antiqueight ^confer 00:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it. I can't find much about it, except for various obscure sites with copies of this article. There's also a few sites with reworded sentences, but they were published later than the addition of the text. I cannot find anything that dates from before May 2013 on this. It just sounds like a hoax and the IP who did the edit was never seen again. Isa (talk) 22:08, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Should be merged to pot holder.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would say Pot Holder is a very american term and the two bring very different items to mind for me. I tend to think of a pot holder as a bendable trivet rather than a glove or mitt. ☕ Antiqueight ^haver 14:46, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
