Greasy Baking Sheets and Pans
Many households have baking sheets and pans that are older than some of the residents and covered with layers upon layers of spray-on oil and other gunk.

Using mitts that have been scorched or have visible holes is the equivalent of reaching into a fire with your hand wrapped in gauze. It’s not going to save you in the end. Take a look at your oven mitts and toss any of the ones that looks they have been through heck and back.
