Oversized plastic gloves - practical helpers in the kitchen
The title photo may remind of Halloween, but this is just such a practical idea ... I cook daily and mostly for many people. For almost all cooking and kitchen work, I use nitrile disposable gloves from a 200cc box, but have recently discovered that oversized plain transparent plastic gloves, such as those seen by bakeries, self-service bread counters in supermarkets / discounters, and hair-dye packs, for some processes are much more practical.
An example, minced: Often, the already kneaded dough must be seasoned once or more often; usually it just needs a spice or two and then you have to clean the gloves / hands first before you can reach for spice or salt spreaders. Elaborate and annoying!
But if you use these oversized plastic gloves for such work, you can leave them in the dough, slip them out easily and do what you have to do with your clean hands.
How often does it happen to me that, for example, the eyebrow is itching just when, with custom-fit nitrile gloves, I release meat from chicken bones for a tasty fricassee or the phone / door bell sounds just as I sink into the meatball dough - all examples speak for (over) big plastic gloves:
The advantages: You can easily slip out of them and just slip in again after completing various things. For intensive kneading one should only use one hand and hold the glove to the other with the other, so that you do not lose it and accidentally "work it in", but in other work it is not a problem. I still do a lot of things with my black nitrile gloves, but for everything that has to be worked on intensively with your hands for a long time, are suitable? much better; significantly better.
