-
Should my child wear one glove on each hand when chopping?We recommend that your child wear a single glove on the hand that is holding the food ingredient as this is the hand that is most at risk. As a matter of fact, wearing a glove on the hand holding a knife or the kitchen tool could increase the chances of slippage and make it more difficult to practice proper technique.

Are your gloves heat resistant?No. Our gloves do not protect against heat or burns.
-
Are your gloves washable?Yes! Once you have finished using your glove you can throw it in the washing machine with your other laundry. We recommend you have on hand multiple gloves should you be cutting vegetables and fruit along with meat in one session. If you think your child will be cutting both, we recommend they switch gloves between meat and vegetables/fruit.
