Wearing Gloves, do most people do this while BBQing?

[edmonds]

I see a lot of photos and videos of people wearing gloves while grilling and smoking. Do you?
Rubs and sauces can be a little messy, but I like to roll up my sleeves and dig in with my hands.

I generally use gloves when applying rub and trimming. Then of course heavy heat resistant gloves for working with hot coals.

I use nitrile gloves for meat prep so I don't have to wash my hands 57x. When picking up hot meat off smoker I use cotton gloves with nitrile over them. Also works great when pulling pork or beef when it's hot as hell

I running out and looked for some this morning. Man those things expensive now. Guess start doing without.

I use Nitrile for meat prepping all of the time. I was fortunate to get a case of 1000 a few months back before prices went thru the roof. I try to do the one hand approach as much as possible to save them. After a while, you kind of get used to it. Plus thermal gloves for the hot stuff.

Thermal gloves for the hot stuff and yes, depending on what I am doing.

I've been using the clear ones like the lunch ladies wore in the cafeteria. Nitrile has gone through the roof price wise. I can get 2000 of the clear ones at Sam's Club for around $10.

I wear gloves for all manners of food handling. Meat prep and even cutting fruits and vegetables.

Plus I change gloves frequently to avoid cross contamination when going from raw meat to other ingredients. I definitely go through a lot.

I wear gloves when handling meat on the smoker, and when mixing sausage meat with cure in it. Other than that, correct hand sanitation with proper washing.

 

[Wurstmeister]

I use "blue food service" gloves when handling food, especially raw meats and rubs, with frequent changing of gloves to reduce cross contamination.

 

[phatbac]

I too use nitrile gloves when doing food prep and handling i wash my hands dry thoroughly and use gloves. i change often esp between meats to prevent cross contamination etc. i use heat resistant glove on the smoker esp elbow length gloves when using a stick burner!

Happy Smoking.

My method is just like Riverside.

I use nitrile when working with hot peppers like Habaneros, bbq gloves when moving the cooked meat. I also use anti cut gloves when doing knife work like trimming, nothing worse than slicing your hand and bleeding all over the food.

 

[Teal101]

I use nitrile for all meat prep, hot pepper cutting, and anything saucy. Keeps me from having to wash my hands all the time.

 

[FFchampMT]

I have big hands so nitrile is what I use with raw meat and rubs, the vinyl ones just shred when I put them on. I usually do 1 clean un-gloved hand for my knife and grabbing seasoning bottles, and 1 gloved hand for holding or turning raw meat.
I have a set of nubby, full silicone gloves for really hot work, and some cotton bbq gloves for dumping lit charcoal, pulling it off the smoker etc.
Good source of xl nitrile gloves for me has been Walgreens/CVS surprisingly.

 

[chef jimmyj]

I'll wear gloves to handle ground meat, like making Burgers, mixing Sausage or Meatloaf. For most everything else, it's bare hands and tools. A set of 6 and 12 inch Tongs are like extensions of my hands...JJ

I wear nitrile gloves when handling raw bacon, hot peppers, pulling pork. Beef doesn't leave near the residue and isn't as hard to wash off. I used to wear them a lot more often before they got so expensive, now I'm suffering the dry skin from washing my hands constantly in the kitchen.

I get 400 nitrile at sam's club for 19 bucks
