Professional kitchen gloves: which is better, split leather or siliconised aramid fabric?

Professional kitchen gloves: which is better, split leather or siliconised aramid fabric?

When it comes to safety in professional kitchens, choosing the right heat-resistant gloves really makes a difference. Between hot utensils, boiling steam and red-hot oils, workers' hands are constantly exposed to danger.

Among the materials most commonly used in professional oven gloves for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, thermal split leather and heat-resistant technical fabrics offer excellent protection, but respond to different needs depending on the working environment and the type of activity carried out.

 

Split leather gloves: when they are the best choice

Split leather gloves are known for their strength, durability and resistance to direct heat. Used for years in the food and industrial sectors, they are ideal for:

  • Handling hot trays or oven utensils
  • More static or repetitive tasks
  • Dry environments, without the presence of oils or boiling liquids

The main advantages:

  • High mechanical and thermal resistance
  • Fireproof leather with internal insulation
  • Feeling of solidity and ‘total’ protection

Silicone-coated heat-resistant fabric gloves: protection and practicality in the kitchen

When, in addition to heat, there are also intense vapours, boiling oils or hot foods, a silicone-coated fabric is the ideal choice.

Why choose a silicone glove:

  • Effective barrier against steam, hot oils and fats
  • Suitable for direct contact with food
  • Easy to clean: just rinse under water
