Mopines---Yes or No

Was on the fence about getting this. Seems like too much material and too bulky. ...more likely to catch on fire near the stove than a silicone glove. Would like to hear from those who use them.

I had one and don't like it. It's bulky and too difficult to work with. It's basically a thick dish towel. The best product I've used are Tara's gloves.

I, too, have one that I don't care for. The hot pad parts are too bulky and get bunched up in the wash. That's too much fabric to have laying around on kitchen counters. Where to put the darn thing?

She just used one, and it looked like way too much material the way she was trying to manuver it.

Didn't appeal to me for the same reason. Saw another one here that I have in my saved items which looks much more functional and has excellent reviews.

No....I prefer two potholders. I have a lot more control over two separate items.

I don't like any kind of cloth potholders. For me they get too dirty and don't hold up their looks after a few washings. I have silicone ones.

I have never tried one. As several here have stated they look bulky and with me could be a fire possibility , but then I am clumsy. I see where if one cooks a lot of large pots of food , in a large family, or restaraunt it could be handy.

I am a fan of little pot holders that I purchase at the $ store that have a good rubberlike material on one side and a pocket to easily slip my hand into . Rather like just the corners of her mopine with out the towel.

This (bolded by me) is what I use also. I'm pretty klutzy also so I can imagine the kind of trouble I could get into with all that extra fabric.

I did, a while back, purchase a couple of this type of thing, though. It wasn't the RR product but that of another vendor who visits QVC. They are pretty similar and the only reason I got them because I liked this one beige-colored one that had seashells on it, plus I got a plain black one because I love black.

Honestly, I have never used either one of them so, for me, it was a ridiculous purchase. I continue to use my pairs of potholders that I slip my hand into and they have the silicone on the outside. This is perfect for my use.

I picked up a mopine second hand, but in like new condition, and hated it.

I have bought a couple of the Cooking Buddies from Q, and those I love.

The Mopine has no real protection from the heat, while the Buddies have silicone. The Mopine is way too short, but the Buddies are just the right length to not strain to pick up big things, but not so long as to get tangled up in interfere with moving things.

I used to prefer an oven mitt, but the Cooking Buddies are my favorite, and if I had to have just one thing, it would be them.
