    Wasn't there some infomercial product called an Ove Glove

    I know there was a Tater Mitt, a glove with blades in it what let you obliterate a potato by giving it a friction burn

    They make oven gloves, but like all gloves, they have spaces for individual fingers. The fingers are also functionally useless and may as well just be a mitt, tbh.

    Us wacky Brits, calling a thing you wear on your hand a glove. What will we think of next.

    It’s a shortened form of mitten. I have several books from England that I read to my daughter that talks of mittens.

    this is a genuine question that i have to give this preface because conveying sincerity on the internet is difficult, but do you not use the word "mitten"s? in america there's a distinct cultural difference between mitten and glove, but i would argue that all mittens are also gloves in the way that all rectangles are also squares

    Rectangles aren’t squares whippy.

    Squares are rectangles.

    We use the word mittens for the type of winter glove, but almost exclusively in that context, in my experience. Though I guess don't know where else it'd get commonly used, outside of for oven gloves.

    Come to think of it, potentially relevant, case-cracking info, I don't know that I've even seen an oven glove with a separate thumb, the ones I have a more of a whole hand affair, I do not know where that lands them on the glove-mitten divide!

    We call mittens you wear outdoors mittens and we call mittens you wear in the kitchen oven gloves, because the meaning of words is typically arbitrary and inconsistent

    This was my thought process then like 30 minutes later unbidden my brain goes:

    Boxing Glove... Boxing ...Mitt???

    And now I don't know what to believe.

    Yes I'm aware. But I have never in my life heard a British person call a mitten a mitt.

    I think Oven and Glove are too close to rhyming for comfort. You would have to either call it an Ove Glove (like the product) or an Oven Gloven.

    I do in fact often refer to it as an ove glove.

    Often in the context of "Dog! Stop licking the fucking ove glove!"
