What Are Protective Gloves Used For?
Using protective gloves is essential for professionals who work daily with various cutting tools.
These kitchen accessories help prevent common cuts, punctures, stabs, and abrasions to the hands and forearms. They are a simple way to greatly reduce risks when using all types of knives, whether for deboning, slicing cold cuts, or carving ham.
Steel mesh gloves make it easier to handle any food, both dry and wet. Being made of this material also prevents oxidation of the handled products and allows the skin to breathe normally.
Although they are essential in restaurants and butcher shops, they are gradually becoming more common in home and amateur kitchens.
It is recommended to clean metal gloves after each use to remove any food residues that may remain.
Advantages of Using Steel Mesh Gloves
- Greater hygiene for the professional, as there is no need to touch the food directly with the hands.
- Increased safety.
- Conveys greater confidence and professionalism to the end customer.
How to Wash Butcher’s Gloves
We recommend washing professional steel mesh butcher’s gloves with detergent and hot water at around 50ºC. Once all dirt and bacteria have been removed, rinse them with clean water at approximately 85ºC.
