Cultural Context
While oven mitts are universal, in Korea, where many households use gas stovetops and often cook directly on the table (e.g., for samgyeopsal or hot pot), the specific need for *oven* mitts might be less frequent than for general hot pot handling. However, with the rise of home baking and Western-style cooking, they are very common. Many Korean kitchenware brands offer stylish and functional oven mitts, often matching other kitchen textiles.
