Customizable Oven Mitt with a Temperature Sensor and Speaker

Abstract

A customizable oven mitt is provided. The customizable oven mitt includes a front panel and a rear panel joined to form a mitt having a wrist opening, a closed ended thumb pocket, and a closed ended finger pocket. The mitt is composed of a heat resistant material that protects the wearer from hot objects. The exterior of the mitt includes a plurality of hook and loop fasteners or similar fasteners that allow decorative accessory components to be secured to the mitt. Additionally, the mitt includes an internal battery power supply operably connected to a temperature sensor and a speaker. When the temperature sensor detects the mitt contacting an object that is above a threshold temperature, the speaker emits an audible alert, notifying the wearer and surrounding individuals.
