Advantages: It can handle very high temperatures. Disadvantages: It is a bit expensive.
A good thick oven glove is a `must have ` in my opinion, if you are cooking at a high temperature then it is all too easy to grab the nearest tea towel, wrap it around your hand, take the dish from the oven, stand there and hold your breath as the intense heat starts to penetrate the tea towel and burn your fingers then just hope that you can hang on long enough to lift the dish onto the top of the cooker. I have done that many times in the past and besides being dangerous practice it is incredibly foolish. I will not tell you how many times I have reached into the cupboard for the tub of Bicarbonate of soda to dab on an oven burn.
I have forced myself to use proper oven gloves now, I even went to the trouble of buying myself some festive oven gloves this year but I find that the double oven gloves can be a little bit tricky to use ...

Advantages: Lots of articles, full of information, gorgeous photography Disadvantages: Expensive

I saw an advert on a website I belong to which said to ring a number and you get a free issue of Junior and then a further 3 issues for just £1. I couldn't resist and then the next month, my first ever issue of Junior dropped onto my doormat.
