I have no doubt that I will be returning for more Handy Mitt Aprons in the near future! I think it was the video on your site that sold it to me...even with the legs on display!

A few words in praise of the Handymitts Apron - June from Reading, Jan 06
Having purchased a HandyMitts apron for my Partner for Xmas I can honestly say it was a great success. I didn't get anywhere near the turkey all through the basting!! Swopping his pinstripe suit for the pinstripe apron went down well.

HandyMitts: If you can't cook, they're great for keeping your hands warm! - Justin from Devizes, Dec 05
I was bought some HandyMitts for Christmas 2004 and being a fan of all things food was very pleased that my Mother had thought of me when presented this great idea from her neighbour. I had remembered seeing them on Rick Steins "Food hero's". Anyway great product and my wife would like me to say that they are good for keeping her hands warm too! She doesn't cook...

HandyMitts are a brilliant idea - Alan from Exeter, Dec 05
This is a first class product and the service we received from this company was excellent - highly recommended.

Thanks. - Nick from Ayr, Nov 05
Goods arrived today, mail order is only as good as its efficiency -- you are up there with the best.

Amazing and cool - Ali Gibbs from Bath, Oct 05

WOW! - Rita Clarke, Oct 05 (less is more, right? - editor)

Can't believe nobody has thought of this before - Kevin from Rye, Jun 05
(HandyMitts) Fantastic idea. I was constantly forgetting where I had put down the oven mitt, always searching for it at that vital moment. NOT ANY MORE!!!! It's always there, by your side, and it's fun. Really useful for BBQ's, you can turn the hot kebabs and entertain the guests at the same time. A must for anyone who cooks - really practical and a bit of fun. Can't believe nobody has thought of this before.

This has to catch on - Mrs M from Newbury, Mar 05
(HandyMitts) This is a clever idea. You don't use them all the time but for serious cooking and BBQ's I wouldn't be without them. If I haven't got them on I keep going for the mitts then realise they are not there. Saw Rick Stein wearing some the other day on his "Food heroes" TV show.
