| Abstract: |
A server gauntlet includes a mitt-like member with an attached extended portion for covering a forearm. The gauntlet is provided with a reflective, heat resistant lining for protection of the hand and forearm. The outer surface of the extended portion and grasping surface of the mitt-like member are provided with non-skid material so that hot dishes and the like may be carried on the forearm and in the hand without slipping.
