Mapa Tempcook 476 Thermal Protection Gloves Size 9

The Mapa Tempcook 476 is a professional-grade thermal protection glove designed for food service environments where staff are regularly handling hot dishes, trays, and oven loads, as well as cold storage tasks. Supplied as a pair in size 9, the gloves provide insulation against both heat and cold, making them a practical choice for kitchens where the same team member moves between cooking and chilled storage duties.

In a working kitchen, the extended cuff length is a practical advantage rather than just a comfort feature. Reaching into deck ovens, removing gastronorm trays from rack ovens, or pulling sheet pans from a hot hold unit all expose the forearm to radiant heat — the longer cuff helps reduce that risk during routine service tasks.

• Resistant to oils, grease, and common catering detergents
• Washable interior and exterior for maintained hygiene standards
• White colour coding in line with catering industry conventions
• Non-slip embossed texture for secure grip on hot or wet surfaces
• Approved for direct food contact under European Regulation (EC) 1935/2004

The gloves are washable inside and out, which is straightforward to maintain in a busy kitchen environment. The white colouring also aligns with standard catering clothing colour-coding practices, which matters in kitchens operating structured hygiene protocols.

These gloves are well suited to catering teams in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and hospitality venues handling regular oven and hot-hold work. For operations requiring heavier insulation — such as prolonged handling of very high-temperature equipment — a higher-rated thermal glove from the wider range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this specification is right for your team's tasks, we are happy to help you work through the options.
