Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Twill Thumb Mitt
Customer Review: Disfunctional design
Summary: 2 Stars
Grab something with one of your hands between your fingers and thumb. Go ahead, do it. Now look at the position of your thumb in relation to your fingers. You'll notice that your thumbs are most useful for grabbing objects when they can provide opposing force against your fingers. Unfortunately, the thumb joints of these mitts are rather stiff and inflexible, not at all conducive to using your thumbs. As a result even the simplest oven maneuver becomes a clumsy affair with these mitts on.
You can't really blame Calphalon for this; most oven mitts on the market suffer the same design flaw. Ordinary glove and mitten manufacturers, on the other hand, fixed this problem long ago and now stitch the thumbs so they fold against the palms instead of out to the sides. Is it really so much to expect such basic functionality from an oven mitt?
