What are HandyMitts®
HandyMitts are retractable oven gloves and bring a novel but practical solution to the age-old problem of not being able to find an oven glove when the hot dish is ready to be handled. Using the patented Retract-o-Matic system, two oven gloves are permanently attached to the cooks apron and always ready for use. Keith Steptoe, director of The Cooks Friend Company, is the inventor of HandyMitts and holds the patent. Handy Mitts are manufactured in the UK under licence.
The Retract-o-Matic® System
The Retract-o-Matic system is a small cylinder containing a retractable cord and fits into a hidden pocket in the apron. It is constructed in metal and extremely hard wearing. The cord is attached to the oven glove by a quick release clip. When using the oven glove the cord moves effortlessly in and out as you move your hands. When you remove your hand from the oven glove the cord retracts pulling the glove to your side.
