    Default Best gloves for hot maple syrup?

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