I bought new hot-gloves this year because one of my old ones tore after about 5 years, and so far I like my new gloves much more than my old ones. They're a material that I never heard of before, "Liquid Silicon". They're a bit pricey, but so were my old ones.
My main use is when I bottle the hot syrup. My setup is that I have a ten gallon pot with a tap at the bottom. The tap has a stick valve. I open the valve with my left hand while I hold the pint bottles under the tap with my right hand. The bottles are too hot to hold without gloves. Here are the things I like about these gloves:

- The insulation is excellent, I hardly ever feel the heat.
- They are easy to take on and put off.
- The advertisement says that they are "Food Grade" and "Waterproof".
- Best of all, they grip real well. The jar never slips out of my hand.
