Question from Ric

Howdy. Thanks for all you do.

Do you know whether normal, quilted oven mitts have flame retardant chemicals in them? I can’t seem to find anything confirming or denying this, but, frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

Thanks.

Debra’s Answer

Now you might think that they would, being around fire and all, but to the best of my knowledge, oven mitts are NOT treated with chemical fire retardants.

Oven mitts are made out of materials that are difficult to ignite, such as thick quilted cotton, or materials designed to be fire barrier fabrics, like Kevlar.

No toxic danger from oven mitts that I’ve ever heard of or found.
