The layer of heat-reflecting poly-mylar batting, Insul~Bright, would go on the inside. <br/><br/>Basically, you've got four layers - the fabric that will show on the outside of the mitts, the insulating layer, a layer of cotton batting, and then the lining material - in that order. <br/><br/>See, that puts the reflective layer just on the inside of the pretty fabric, so it's out of sight but still close to the hot surface you'll be touching with the oven mitt. Then there's still a layer of cotton batting and the lining fabric between there and your skin: as good as anything you'd buy in a high-end kitchen shop.<br/><br/>Hope that's clear!<br/>Jen Hi Becca.

Basically, you’ve got four layers – the fabric that will show on the outside of the mitts, the insulating layer, a layer of cotton batting, and then the lining material – in that order.

See, that puts the reflective layer just on the inside of the pretty fabric, so it’s out of sight but still close to the hot surface you’ll be touching with the oven mitt. Then there’s still a layer of cotton batting and the lining fabric between there and your skin: as good as anything you’d buy in a high-end kitchen shop.

Hope that’s clear!

Does the insulating material go inside the mitt or on the outside?
