How To Make Fancy Dishwashing Gloves

Just like those of us who never had a proper place to store a sponge before finding love in the form of a sink caddy, the best dishwashing gloves can feel like a late-in-life, much overdue discovery.

We know that dishwashing gloves are very valuable items. They’re valuable because they allow you to withstand scalding hot water (which is what you want if you’re to do the dishes correctly). They’re valuable because they protect your hands from getting dried out while washing the 10 billion dishes you used to throw that party last night. And they’re valuable because—if we’re being completely honest—there’s something kind of fun and stylish about them. Especially if you opt for a hot pink pair.

But, just like with snowflakes and babies, no two pairs of dishwashing gloves are made alike. And we wanted to find the perfect pair. So we tested seven of the top-rated varieties and found some favorites. You’re welcome, hands!

The best dishwashing gloves: Casabella Waterstop Premium Rubber Gloves

We were convinced from the start that our go-to gloves would be Mamison, the Korean brand of gloves that Epi contributor Rachel Khong raves about here. And, in fact, those gloves didn’t disappoint. But we’re giving these Casabella gloves a top spot because they contour better to hands and feel, just, luxe. If any dishwashing gloves can be called fancy, it’s these.

The Casabella gloves wrap perfectly around (admittedly small) fingers. The material is nice and thick but still perfectly flexible, so you can maneuver your hands to pick up dishes with ease, and the lightly textured surface of the fingers makes handling even delicate glassware feel secure. The gloves have a smooth, comfortable interior and, crucially, they don’t leave any weird dry, powdery feeling on your hands after you’ve used them. They’re also long enough to cover most of a (smaller person’s) forearm. Finally: They’re pink, and that’s quantifiably, undeniably fun.

The best heavy-duty dishwashing gloves: Tucker Safety SteamGlove

These dishwashing gloves were designed for use in industrial kitchens—and it shows. These food-grade nitrile gloves are latex-free and have nonslip textured palms that allow you to maintain a firm grip, even when the gloves are wet and soapy. They’re comfortable to wear thanks to a soft cotton lining. They come with either 14- or 20-inch long cuffs, depending on how much of your arm you plan on plunging in hot water. But here’s what sets these gloves apart: They are highly heat resistant with an insulation value of up to 15 seconds at 225ºF. Even submerged in the hottest water, the most our hands felt was a gentle, barely noticeable warmth. Our favorite detail was the cotton loop at the cuff, which makes it easy to hang them once you’ve finished the dishes. While they may not be very cute, the Tucker gloves are a stellar kitchen glove when safety is your top priority.
