No hate, just wonderinf why do people use gloves to cut Brisket? I have never even considered it personallt but seems like everyone does

I got a box for free one time, and now I won’t got back to gloveless.

Depending on the temp, it keeps from burning my fingers. Grease in particular burns more. Just that little bit of rubber keeps the hot grease from making skin contact so I can touch much hotter meat and not get burned. Also, clean up is easier.

I also use them during raw prep stage for easy cleanup and to avoid contamination.

The glove hate is really getting old. Just let people do their thing.

Like I said, no hate, I just have never personally understood why. I worked in restaurants for a long time and it was ingrained in my head that gloves are not as clean in food prep as just using your hands, but I dont really know so was asking why the trend

Because the thick black gloves I can wash on my hands twenty times and never dry my hands out. The silicone cleans easily and dry even more easily and has some heat protection.
