no more thumb prints in the cupcakesI have small hands and have always had a problem keeping oven mitts on my hands and end up with my thumb in the cupcake dough trying to get the tin in the oven. These work great. No heat transfer with heavier cookware and because they are stretchy, they stay where I put them on my fingers. They are knitted, double lined and coated with heat resistant pads on both sides of the gloves. They also come almost up to my elbows, so no more burning my arms on upper oven racks when removing pans from between racks. The basters are small, about 1 1/2" wide and about 8" long.0
