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.

Frequently asked questions

Are these gloves suitable for use with both hot and cold tasks in a kitchen?

Yes — the Tempcook 476 provides thermal insulation against both heat and cold, which makes them practical in kitchens where staff move between oven work and cold storage duties during the same service period.

How should these gloves be cleaned in a commercial kitchen environment?

Both the interior and exterior of the gloves are washable, which allows them to be kept clean in line with standard kitchen hygiene routines. Mapa has also designed the material to resist oils, grease, and common detergent products used in professional kitchens.

Are these gloves appropriate for very high-temperature work, such as handling pizza oven equipment?

The Tempcook 476 is well suited to standard oven and hot-hold handling tasks in most commercial kitchens. For operations that involve sustained contact with very high-temperature surfaces — such as wood-fired or deck pizza ovens — a higher-rated thermal protection glove may offer more appropriate insulation. We can advise on the right specification if you are unsure.
