Scroll through roundups of the best grilling tools and accessories, and you’ll find everything from thermometers to pans to brushes. Only recently has one of the most safety-minded accessories started appearing on these lists: a pair of grill gloves. Grill gloves provide protection from heat and flames—not just while handling food, tools, and grates on the grill but also while removing pans from an oven, adjusting hot oven racks and pizza stones, and adding logs to a fire. Waterproof versions also protect your hands as you reach into a steaming pot of water to fish out boiled crab or corn.

It’s not surprising that gloves have long been overlooked by backyard barbecue enthusiasts: You can—and probably have—grilled many foods without wearing gloves and without incident. It’s that first “incident” that often becomes the incentive to search for the best grill gloves available. We set out to do just that, testing 24 pairs of grill gloves in a range of styles, sizes, and designs to find the perfect set. Here are our favorites for grilling and beyond.

To come up with our favorite grill gloves, we pulled on 24 pairs: 9 leather and 15 nonleather. For the key test, we heated a cast iron skillet in the oven at 500°F for 10 minutes, grabbed it by the handle while wearing the grill gloves, and recorded the time it took for the handle to become too hot to hold. During the testing window, we also wore the gloves whenever we grilled, using them to handle grill grates, chimney starters, tongs, hot food, and more. We also washed the gloves according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Each pair of grill gloves was rated on the following attributes:

• Design: Are the grill gloves too large, too loose, or just right? Do they provide adequate wrist protection? Was there any damage on the gloves, such as burn marks, after testing?
• Performance: How well (or not) do the gloves protect from heat while grilling? How do the gloves perform when gripping hot objects, resisting water, and handling slippery or greasy objects?
• Ease of Use: Do the gloves allow for full dexterity and range of motion? Is it easy to maneuver and grasp things like tongs or hold a beverage while wearing them?
• Ease of Cleaning: Are the gloves easy to clean? Are they machine washable or hand wash only?
