The standard American English term for a thick, heat-resistant glove used to handle hot cookware — what British English calls an 'oven glove.' Unlike a traditional pot holder, an oven mitt covers the full hand and part of the forearm for better protection. The term is so common in American households that it rarely reads as slang, but it is a genuine dialectal variant that distinguishes American from British cooking vocabulary. Typically sold in pairs and found in most home kitchens.
