Key Features

Why These Tandoor Heat Resistant Gloves Outperform Generic Oven Mitts for Indian Cooking

Cotton Liner Heat Protection

The core heat barrier of these tandoor heat resistant gloves is a thick, high-density cotton liner with extra stitch count and heavier weight. This cotton liner heat protection absorbs sweat, provides a snug fit, and maintains excellent dexterity even when handling extremely hot tandoor skewers, plates, and tandoor accessories. Machine washable and fully reusable — the AS15 is among the most practical reusable heat resistant gloves available for regular Indian cooking and tandoor sessions.

Food-Grade Nitrile Exterior

The outer layer of the AS15 nitrile tandoor gloves is a food-grade nitrile exterior that is oil proof, waterproof, chemical resistant, latex free, and powder free. This durable nitrile exterior resists stains, oils, and food residue while providing excellent grip — making these food safe heat resistant gloves ideal for direct contact with cooked food, skewers, and hot plates. Flexible, tear-resistant, and built for repeated professional use.

Enhanced Grip for Tandoor Use

Textured fingertips provide superior grip for safely handling hot meat, tandoor accessories, skewers, or plates at high temperatures. The enhanced grip design ensures control and precision when removing skewers from a 900°F+ tandoor oven, reducing the risk of slips and enhancing safety. These non-slip cooking gloves are purpose-built for the unique handling demands of tandoor cooking — not adapted from generic BBQ mitts or silicone oven mitts that lack finger-level dexterity.

Machine Washable & Reusable

Unlike disposable gloves, the AS15 tandoor cooking gloves are machine washable and designed for long-term reuse. The cotton liner can be laundered after each session, keeping the gloves hygienic for food handling. The nitrile exterior rinses clean of oils and food residue. This combination of machine washable cotton and durable nitrile makes the AS15 the most practical heat resistant cooking gloves for regular tandoor use.

Construction

Two-Layer Construction — How the AS15 Tandoor Gloves Work

The AS15 heat resistant tandoor gloves use a purpose-designed two-layer system — each layer performs a distinct function, and together they deliver full heat protection with precise handling capability at tandoor temperatures.

When to Use

When to Use Your Tandoor Heat Resistant Gloves for Indian Cooking

The AS15 tandoor oven gloves are the essential gloves for tandoor cooking, designed for the full range of tasks from initial fire-up through serving. Here is when to reach for the AS15 during a typical tandoor session.

Loading Skewers

When loading marinated meat onto hot skewers and lowering them into the 900°F+ tandoor cavity, these high-heat gloves for tandoor use protect your hands from radiant heat rising from the clay walls. Purpose-built tandoor grill gloves — not generic oven mitts — are required for this task.

Removing Skewers

Lifting tandoor skewers out of an active or recently fired oven is when the AS15 tandoor skewer gloves matter most. The textured nitrile fingertips provide non-slip grip on hot metal, and the cotton liner heat protection prevents burns when the skewer contacts your hand.

Handling Hot Plates

Carrying plates of fresh tandoori meat directly from the oven to the table requires gloves for hot food handling that are both heat resistant and waterproof cooking gloves for greasy surfaces. The oil proof nitrile exterior of the AS15 ensures even a sauce-covered plate stays securely in your grip.

Tandoor Accessories

Adjusting clay balls, repositioning the naan gaddi, or removing the baffle plate all require serious tandoor hand protection. The AS15 heat proof gloves give you the confidence to handle every accessory safely inside an active or recently fired oven.

Food Prep & Serving

The food-grade nitrile exterior means the AS15 can be worn for food handling, kitchen prep, and serving without switching gloves. One pair of Tandoor Morni accessories covers your entire session. These are also ideal Indian cooking gloves for all high-heat prep beyond the tandoor itself.

Catering & Events

For professional caterers running CS01, CS02, CS03, or CS04 catering tandoors at events, the AS15 functions as both professional kitchen gloves heat resistant enough for sustained service and gloves for hot food handling between the tandoor and the serving station. The AS15 combines food safety compliance (food grade, latex free, powder free) with the heat protection needed for continuous high-volume catering.

Why It Matters

AS15 Tandoor Gloves vs Generic Oven Mitts — Side by Side

Standard oven mitts, silicone BBQ gloves, and generic heat resistant grilling gloves are not designed for tandoor cooking. Here is how the AS15 tandoor hand protection system compares where it matters.

Feature	AS15 Tandoor Gloves	Generic Oven Mitt / BBQ Glove
Heat protection	Cotton liner — rated for tandoor heat tasks	Often rated for standard oven use only
Grip	Textured nitrile fingertips — skewer-safe grip	Flat fabric or silicone — poor grip on thin skewers
Food safety	Food grade, latex free, powder free	Not always food-grade certified
Oil resistance	Oil proof nitrile exterior	Absorbs oils and meat juices
Dexterity	Fitted glove — finger-level precision	Bulky mitt — reduced finger control
Washability	Machine washable cotton liner	Hand wash only or non-washable
Color	Black — professional appearance, grease masking	Often grey or red — shows staining
Brand	Tandoor Morni — in business since 1992	Generic manufacturer

How to Use

How to Use Tandoor Heat Resistant Gloves Safely

Using the gloves

Put on the cotton liner gloves first — these are your heat barrier for tandoor heat resistant protection.
Pull the black nitrile gloves over the cotton liners for oil proof, food-grade protection and enhanced grip.
Use the textured fingertips to firmly grip skewers, accessories, or hot plates before lifting.
For food prep only, the nitrile gloves can be worn alone — no cotton liner needed for non-heat tasks.

Care & washing

Machine wash the cotton liner gloves after each session for hygienic food handling.
Rinse the nitrile exterior gloves under running water to remove oils, food residue, and grease.
Air dry both layers fully before storing — do not store the cotton liner damp.
Inspect the nitrile exterior for tears before each use — these tandoor safety gloves rely on an intact outer layer for full grip and waterproof performance.
Do not expose to open flame — these heat resistant grilling gloves are designed for radiant and conductive heat protection, not direct flame contact.

Temperature Rating

Heat Resistance Rating — What Temperatures Can These Gloves Handle?

Understanding the temperature rating of your heat resistant tandoor gloves is essential before using them near a live tandoor. Here is how the AS15 two-layer system performs at different heat levels, and why the cotton liner is the critical barrier.

300°C / 572°F — Rated Contact Heat Protection

The cotton liner heat barrier rated temperature for sustained tandoor task handling. The primary protection threshold for loading and removing skewers, adjusting accessories, and handling plates.

500°C / 932°F — Tandoor Operating Temperature

Tandoor operating temperature. Use gloves for brief contact tasks at this level: skewer loading, plate handling, accessory adjustment. Keep all movements brief when the oven is at full operating temperature.

Direct Flame — Not Rated

These heat resistant cooking gloves are not flame-proof. Do not expose to direct open flame — use for radiant and conductive heat only. Not a substitute for professional welding or forge-grade PPE.

Important safety note: The AS15 nitrile + cotton liner system is designed for the specific heat tasks of tandoor cooking — loading and removing skewers, adjusting clay accessories, and handling hot plates at temperatures up to 932°F (500°C) radiant exposure. For sustained high-heat gripping, always use brief contact movements. Do not use on an oven that exceeds the rated temperature of the glove material.

Material Comparison

Nitrile + Cotton vs Aramid, Silicone & Neoprene — Which Gloves Are Best for Tandoor?

Buyers searching for heat resistant grilling gloves will encounter four main material types. Here is how each compares specifically for tandoor cooking — and why the AS15 nitrile + cotton combination wins for Indian cooking gloves.

Material	Heat Rating	Skewer Grip	Food Safe	Washable
Nitrile + Cotton (AS15)	High — 300°C rated	Excellent — textured fingertips	Yes — FDA food-grade nitrile	Yes — machine washable liner
Aramid (Kevlar)	Very high — up to 500°C	Poor — bulky, no fingertip feel	Not food-grade standard	Hand wash only
Silicone	Medium — good for short contact	Poor — no finger dexterity	Food safe	Rinse only
Neoprene	Medium — waterproof focus	Moderate — limited dexterity	Varies	Rinse only
Cotton mitt	Low — standard oven use	Poor — bulk, no grip	Yes	Machine wash

For tandoor cooking specifically, aramid gloves fail on skewer grip and food safety. Silicone fails on finger dexterity for skewer handling. Only the nitrile + cotton liner combination delivers all four requirements simultaneously — which is why the AS15 was engineered this way for Indian cooking and tandoor use.

Food Safety Compliance

Food Safety Compliance — FDA Food-Grade Nitrile for Professional Kitchen Use

What food-grade nitrile means

The AS15 nitrile exterior is food-grade certified, meeting the standards for direct food contact under FDA food handling regulations (equivalent to FDA 21 CFR 177 compliant nitrile materials). This means the nitrile formulation contains no harmful plasticizers, no latex proteins, no powder fillers, and no accelerator chemicals that could migrate into food.

For caterers, restaurateurs, and professional kitchen operators running CS01, CS02, CS03, or CS04 catering tandoors, the AS15 satisfies food safety compliance requirements as professional kitchen gloves heat resistant enough for tandoor service — without requiring a separate pair of food handling gloves.

Size Guide

Size Guide — Will These Tandoor Gloves Fit Your Hands?

The AS15 comes in size Large with a regular fit. Use the measurements below to confirm the gloves will fit before ordering. If you are between sizes or have significantly smaller or larger hands, visit one of our 8 US showrooms to try them on before buying.

How to measure your hand

Wrap a measuring tape around your dominant hand at the widest part of your palm (excluding the thumb).
Note the measurement in inches. A palm circumference of 8–9 inches corresponds to a Large glove fit.
If between sizes, size up for heat protection tasks — a slightly looser glove is safer near a hot tandoor than a tight fit that restricts blood flow.

Size Chart

Size	Palm Circumference	Hand Length
Medium	7–8 in (18–20 cm)	7–7.5 in
Large (AS15)	8–9 in (20–23 cm)	7.5–8.5 in
XL	9–10 in (23–25 cm)	8.5–9 in

Currently available in Large. Contact Tandoor Morni if you require XL.

Customer Q&A

Customer Questions & Answers

Can these gloves handle reaching into an active tandoor to reposition clay balls? +

Yes, for brief contact tasks. The AS15 two-layer system is rated for contact heat up to 300°C (572°F) and provides adequate protection for quick repositioning of clay balls or the naan gaddi inside a hot tandoor. For longer tasks, allow the oven to partially cool first. Always keep movements brief when working inside the oven cavity.

Will the black nitrile stain or discolour after cooking with oily marinades? +

The black colour of the nitrile exterior was specifically chosen because it masks oil stains, marinade residue, and grease — keeping the gloves looking professional session after session. The oil proof nitrile surface wipes or rinses clean easily. This is why black cooking gloves are the professional standard in commercial kitchens worldwide.

Are the gloves ambidextrous or handed (left/right specific)? +

The AS15 nitrile exterior gloves are ambidextrous — either glove can be worn on either hand. The cotton liner gloves have a regular anatomical fit and are available as a pair (one left, one right). This makes the AS15 practical for caterers who need to glove up quickly during busy service.

Do these gloves work for cooking on a gas tandoor as well as charcoal? +

Yes — the AS15 tandoor heat resistant gloves are suitable for all 15 Tandoor Morni models regardless of fuel type. Gas models (CS01, CS02, R26, R28, R32, CH02–CH06, T02–T06, A02), charcoal models (CS03, CS04, CU02, CU04, CU06, A04, A06) — all reach similar operating temperatures at the clay wall surface. The AS15 cotton liner heat protection is equally effective across all fuel types and all Tandoor Morni product lines.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — AS15 Tandoor Heat Resistant Gloves

Are these gloves safe for handling food directly from a tandoor oven? +

Yes — the AS15 uses a food-grade nitrile exterior that is food safe, latex free, powder free, alcohol free, and vinyl free. The nitrile gloves can be worn alone for food handling or over the cotton liners for combined heat protection and food safety. These tandoor heat resistant gloves are designed for the full workflow: heat protection at the oven and food-safe handling at the table.

What is the difference between the nitrile gloves and the cotton liner gloves? +

The two-layer system works as follows: the cotton liner gloves are the heat barrier — thick, high-density cotton that protects your hands from tandoor heat. The nitrile exterior gloves go on over the cotton liners and provide oil proof, waterproof, food-grade grip and protection. Together they form a complete heat resistant tandoor glove system. The cotton liners can be machine washed; the nitrile exterior is rinsed clean.

Can I machine wash the tandoor gloves? +

Yes — the cotton liner gloves are machine washable. Wash after each use to maintain hygiene for food handling. The nitrile exterior gloves should be rinsed under running water to remove oils and food residue, then air dried. Do not machine wash the nitrile exterior gloves — rinse and air dry only.

Are these gloves reusable or disposable? +

The AS15 heat resistant tandoor gloves are fully reusable. The complete glove set — cotton liner and nitrile exterior together — is designed for long-term reuse with proper washing and care. These are not single-use disposable gloves.

What size are the AS15 tandoor gloves? +

The AS15 tandoor heat resistant gloves come in size Large — suitable for most adult hands. The fit type is regular. If you have significantly smaller or larger hands, contact Tandoor Morni before ordering, or visit one of the 8 US showrooms to try them on in person.

Can I use these gloves on both the home and catering tandoor models? +

Yes — the AS15 heat resistant tandoor gloves are compatible with all 15 Tandoor Morni tandoor oven models across all four product lines: home tandoor models (R26, R28, R32), catering tandoor models (CS01, CS02, CS03, CS04), copper tandoor models (CU02, CU04, CU06, A02, A04, A06), and commercial and restaurant tandoor models (CH02, CH04, CH06, T02, T04, T06).

What is the warranty on the AS15 tandoor gloves? +

The AS15 tandoor heat resistant gloves come with a 1-year warranty. Returns are accepted for gloves that arrive damaged — inspect your package upon delivery and contact Tandoor Morni with photos of any damage to arrange a replacement or refund.

Where can I buy tandoor heat resistant gloves with free shipping in the USA? +

You can buy the AS15 tandoor gloves on tandoormorni.com with free shipping across the USA — no minimum order. At $39.00 (was $59.00), the AS15 is available online or in person at all 8 Tandoor Morni showrooms (Edison NJ, Houston TX, Chicago IL, Manteca CA, Tampa FL, Washington DC area, Algona WA, Boulder CO). Tandoor gloves USA-wide, delivered to your door.

Are these gloves latex free and allergy safe? +

Yes — the AS15 tandoor gloves are latex free, powder free, vinyl free, and alcohol free. As latex free cooking gloves, the nitrile exterior is the safe alternative for anyone with latex allergies. Food-grade certified and chemical resistant for safe use in food preparation and hot food handling environments.

Are these gloves suitable for Indian cooking and tandoori food preparation? +

Yes — the AS15 was designed specifically as heat resistant gloves for Indian cooking. Indian cuisine frequently involves extreme-heat techniques — placing naan directly on 900°F+ clay walls, lowering marinated meat on metal skewers, and handling plates loaded with sizzling tandoori dishes. These are the only gloves for tandoor cooking engineered by a specialist US tandoor manufacturer (Tandoor Morni, operating since 1992) for these exact tasks.

Are these reusable heat resistant gloves or single-use? +

The AS15 are fully reusable heat resistant gloves — not single-use. The cotton liner gloves are machine washable and rated for repeated laundering. The nitrile exterior gloves are rinsed, air dried, and reused session after session. Buying reusable heat resistant gloves rather than disposable options saves money over time and reduces waste.

What makes these good gloves for handling skewers in a tandoor? +

Most oven mitts and BBQ gloves fail as gloves for handling skewers because they are too bulky for finger-level grip on thin metal rods. The AS15 is a fitted glove — not a mitt — with textured nitrile fingertips designed for non-slip grip on hot skewers at any angle. The cotton liner heat protection prevents burns even when the hot skewer shaft contacts the palm. These tandoor skewer gloves are the correct tool for the job.
