Published on July 12, 2020, Wambui Kuria shares her experience with silicone finger mitts, a kitchen gadget that has become a staple in her cooking routine.
These silicone finger mitts are designed with ridges for a more secure grip and can withstand high temperatures of up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, making them an ideal alternative to cloth oven mitts and pot holders.
Wambui Kuria finds them particularly useful when cooking ugali, as they provide a firmer grip on the sufuria than metal jua kali 'kamatas'. However, she notes that they may not protect the wrists as effectively as classic cloth oven mitts when retrieving items from the oven.
Despite this, the silicone finger mitts are easy to store and can be easily spotted due to their bright colours. They are available on Amazon and in the Kenyan online market, making them a convenient option for those looking for a reliable kitchen gadget.
