For mini mitts, these are great!! Heavy duty, keeps heater bay, even for long periods of time. We are remodeling and our stove is in the new kitchen, and the rest of my stuff is still in the old kitchen, and it's a good 50' away and through a couple doorways. With some of my old mitts, my hands would be hurting before I ever made it there. Not with these! 

Attractive set too!
