No for me. I just use pot holders, easier to wash, not so much fabric to get in my way. I suppose it's a good idea...I just don't like it, lol.

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.

My friend hated her cooking buddies, she said it was to stiff for her to grab hold of the pan.  LOL, she cut the silicone part off.

Not for me, to bulky and a fire hazard.  Rachel stated once on her cooking show that she has caught them on fire many times.  I like little silicone mitts that I purchased from Amazon.  The only kitchen towels I like are white flour sack towels, no lint, dry fast and bleach up great.  I buy packages of 12 towels from Sam's club in the restaurant section for about a little more than a $1 for each towel.

No!!

Occasionally I have grabbed a pan out of the oven using a dishtowel and this looks like a similar idea.  I never feel secure using that.  I prefer a hot pad.

I can see me catching the kitchen on fire with the cloth dangling down below the pot and sliding across a hot burner.

I use the cooking buddy for my heavy LeCreuset pots and casserole dishes coming out of the oven. I have burned my front side(right thru my clothes) before and this protects me well.

Cooking Buddy is the best, use it every day.

YES.......I purchased a set in blue for my wonderful son-in-law for Father's Day, he is great help in the kitchen.  Thought he would enjoy!

no,no, no, sent mine back, to much fabric! Plus the middle fabric caught fire, didn't know it, couldn't figure out what that smell was, but soon found out!
