About the Ooni Pizza Oven Gloves
Ooni's pizza oven gloves pair a leather exterior with internal aluminium insulation, certified heat-resistant to 500C (950F) for up to 15 seconds. The long sleeve protects the wrist and forearm at the mouth of a hot oven, where the danger is.
At 500C-plus oven temperatures, ordinary oven mitts are not enough. These are built for the specific job of reaching into a live pizza oven, adjusting the stone, or moving a hot peel.

Common questions
Are Ooni gloves rated hot enough for a pizza oven?
Yes. They are certified to 500C (950F) for up to 15 seconds, which covers the quick reaches into a hot oven that pizza asks for, such as adjusting the stone or moving a peel. The rating is for brief contact, not for holding red-hot metal indefinitely.
Can I use normal oven mitts for a pizza oven?
Not safely. Household oven mitts are rated for around 200 to 260C, well below the 350 to 500C a pizza oven and its metal parts reach, so they can let heat through fast. Use gloves rated to at least 350C, ideally with a long cuff.
