Fred Bear Hands Bear Paw Oven Mitts

The best part of these bear paws is on the underside: silicone pads that help grip hot cookware. Fred Bear Hands oven mitts commit to the animal costume, claws included, but give those paw prints a job beyond looking funny. They make pulling a casserole out of the oven a little less dignified, which is part of the appeal.

The insulated cotton mitts are heat resistant up to 450°F, and the set includes a right and a left paw. Each measures 10.2 inches long, with a roomy fit designed for most adult hands. They’re machine washable, too, so a cooking splatter doesn’t have to become a permanent feature of your new fursona.

These suit the baker whose kitchen already has enough sensible equipment and could use something ridiculous that still earns its drawer space. The joke is obvious, but the grip pads and washable construction give it a practical reason to stick around.
