[item] Pineapple oven mitts

[purchase info] Purchased new at Ross

[time in my possession] Approximately 6 years

[last used] 6 months ago

[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Easy

[destination] Given to a family in need

[info] I have more of these than I can use at one time. Not needed. Cute pineapples, but not functional at all. The floppy tops get into the food and they don’t protect well from the heat.

Those floppy tops could catch on fire, too. You probably would not burn the house down, but a fire is a pain. Then, the potholders would look terrible and frazzle, another fire problem.

  I can’t tell you how many times that almost happened when I was using them. Gotta love form over function. ;)
