Here’s an interesting expansion on the cooking mitt idea: water and heat resistance with a non-slip grip. Ulta-Mitt includes these and a few other nice extras for a new and improved oven mitt that looks like it would work well not only at home and at the grill, but even when cooking over a campfire. The added index finger section seems like it would add some dexterity, but why not go all the way and just make this into a glove so that the ultimate in dexterity can be offered? Even so, still some great ideas here, and $14 gets backers a mitt and hot pad with an expected delivery of November 2014.
