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.
Outer Layer — Black Nitrile Exterior (Food-Grade Protection Shell)
- Food-grade nitrile — safe for direct food contact
- Oil proof, waterproof, and stain resistant
- Latex free, powder free, vinyl free, alcohol free
- Textured non-slip fingertips — non-slip cooking gloves for skewers and hot plates
- Flexible, tear-resistant — allows precise handling
- Can be used alone for food prep and handling
Inner Layer — Cotton Liner Heat Protection (Thermal Barrier & Comfort Layer)
- Thick, high-density cotton with extra stitch count
- Core heat barrier — designed for medium-to-high heat tasks
- Absorbs sweat, snug fit, excellent dexterity
- Machine washable — hygienic for regular cooking use
- Heavier weight than standard kitchen gloves
- Fully reusable — not disposable
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.
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.
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 |
