The HEATPRO is a silicone glove from MOESTA-BBQ GmbH of Löhne (commercial register: Bad Oeynhausen local court, HRB 15275). The Amazon variant with the ASIN B0CC6F8QDM is grey, size XXL, and costs approx. €60 (as of October 2026). We have not worn the gloves or handled anything with them. What is written here comes from the pages on moesta.com (product page, buying guide, blog post, glossary, legal notice, terms and conditions), from the Amazon catalogue and from the product photos; where we calculate or interpret, we say so. In our Grill accessories category there are two more grilling glove reviews: the RAPICCA and the Rösle set.
What is behind this ASIN
Amazon lists the offer as “XXL 11 grau” with the model number 19833. At MOESTA, 19833 is the item number of the grey variant in size XXL; the 11 appears only in the Amazon title. The match rests on this number alone. One pair is delivered; Amazon counts it as two pieces.
MOESTA dates the company’s beginnings to a barbecue evening in 2012, and the first product was the PizzaRing. The HEATPRO comes in six colours (anthracite, olive, berry, red, grey and a TM Edition) and in sizes S to XXL; red is missing in S and XXL. Besides that, the collection only includes the Grill Gloves No.1, an aramid glove (see the frequently asked questions). Under this ASIN you get exactly one combination: grey, XXL.
Construction: silicone outside, textile lining inside
According to MOESTA, the HEATPRO is made of liquid silicone in a three-dimensional hand shape, and the fingers move individually. Inside, a soft textile lining sits against the hand, outside there is a textured silicone surface. According to the product page, a pair weighs approx. 0.4 kg.
On BPA and latex, Amazon says more than MOESTA. The Amazon text calls the gloves BPA-free and latex-free and ideal for sensitive skin. At MOESTA, BPA-free appears only in an English-language side description on the product page; it is missing on the German page, and latex is not mentioned there anywhere. If you react to latex, ask MOESTA before buying.
The product photo shows two grey gloves with five separately defined fingers next to a white box with the MOESTA lettering. The cuff runs straight out and ends in a black hem. In its product text, Amazon writes that the gloves protect hands and forearms; the MOESTA pages say nothing of the sort. A tag hangs on the box with the seal of a buying advice portal. We have not verified it and therefore do not pass it on.
On grip, MOESTA distinguishes wet from greasy. According to the glossary the outside also holds when wet, but with very greasy food it becomes slippery, and then a brief wipe helps. With marinade and fat, you should therefore expect to wipe the gloves occasionally.
In detail: 250 °C, 350 °C and the contact time
MOESTA states two temperatures. For contact heat the gloves are intended for up to 250 °C, briefly up to 350 °C.
Where the 350 °C comes from is explained by the EN 407 standard for protective gloves against thermal risks. For contact heat it has four levels with test temperatures of 100, 250, 350 and 500 °C. A level is reached when the threshold time is at least 15 seconds. As we understand the standard, this is the time until the inside of the glove has warmed by 10 degrees.
For the HEATPRO, MOESTA refers to an SGS test report dated 22.07.2025 under EN 407:2020. In it, contact heat reaches level 3, and the threshold time at 350 °C is at least 15.8 seconds. The limit in the standard is 15 seconds, so the value exceeds it by 0.8 seconds. We have not seen the report itself; MOESTA does not publish it. According to MOESTA’s glossary the code reads 4,3,4,X,X,X: burning behaviour level 4, contact heat level 3, convective heat level 4. The three X at the end stand for radiant heat and for small and large splashes of molten metal. According to MOESTA, an X means that the glove was not tested in that category or states no protection there.
Our assessment: the 350 °C applies to a window of a good 15 seconds in the test set-up, and the 250 °C is MOESTA’s figure for normal contact. MOESTA itself writes that the figure does not allow holding on indefinitely; you put hot objects down as soon as you feel warmth. Anyone who reads the 350 °C without this contact time overestimates the glove. As a rough guide: a baking tray from an oven set to 250 °C reaches at most roughly the contact heat that MOESTA states for the gloves. Baking tray is also on MOESTA’s list of uses.
Our guide to grill accessory essentials asks two things of grilling gloves: the manufacturer should state temperature and contact time, and the cuff should reach over the wrist. The first part is met by the HEATPRO.
Flame, embers, knives, steam: what MOESTA excludes
MOESTA describes the use on the product page like this: casserole dish, baking tray and hot pot by suitable handles, and at the grill spare ribs, cooked pulled pork and the Dutch oven. Product page and blog together give these rules:
- Do not use for direct contact with flames or embers.
- Do not handle glowing coals or briquettes, and do not hold the gloves in open flames.
- No protection against sharp edges, knives or open fire.
- Avoid knife blades, sharp edges and pointed objects.
- Do not immerse in hot liquids.
- No protection against hot steam is promised.
- Check for tears or other damage before every use; do not use damaged gloves for hot objects.
MOESTA points to usage instructions on the product; they are not available online, and according to the buying guide the instruction manual always takes precedence.
The name heat glove suggests more than MOESTA promises. A reading aid for the code: burning behaviour 4 describes how the material reacts to a flame, not how well it protects the hand behind it. Embers radiate strongly, and radiant heat is exactly what is marked X, not tested, on the HEATPRO. That is our reading. With the Dutch oven, the line therefore runs at the embers: lifting the pot by the handle fits the list of uses, touching the briquettes on the lid does not.
Washing: washing-up liquid yes, washing machine open
For care, MOESTA names one route: you wash the outer silicone surface with water and a little washing-up liquid, rinse it thoroughly and let the gloves dry. You keep the inner lining as dry as possible. The cuff is open, and water can get into the textile lining there.
On the washing machine the sources differ. The Amazon text calls the gloves machine-washable. The German product page only describes washing off by hand, and the buying guide advises against assuming clearance for the washing machine, dishwasher or aggressive cleaners and says to follow the current care instructions.
We stick to the stricter statement until a label on the product says otherwise. A wash cycle would also soak exactly the lining that MOESTA wants to keep dry.
From which hand size do you need XXL?
MOESTA’s size finder recommends XXL from a middle finger over 9 cm or a hand circumference over 24 cm, measured without the thumb. The finder asks for both and recommends the larger size of the two.
These thresholds come from the script of the size finder on the product page, not from a written-out text; treat them as a guide and measure yourself. Under 7.5 cm middle finger and under 21 cm circumference the finder suggests S, up to 9 cm and 24 cm respectively XL. As a general rule, MOESTA advises taking your usual glove size and, between two sizes, the larger one, for a slightly looser fit and easier removal. XXL is the largest size in the range.
What else is worth considering?
| Model | The difference | Price | Our rating | Choose this if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOESTA-BBQ HeatPro heat gloves (this one) | Liquid silicone, EN 407 contact heat level 3 according to MOESTA | approx. €60 | 8.4 | you handle trays, pots and cooked food and want to wash the surface afterwards |
| RAPICCA grilling gloves 43 cm | Neoprene, 17 inches (43.2 cm) long, 500 °C according to RAPICCA | approx. €30 | 8.9 | you often hold your arm over the grate and want a long cuff |
| Rösle BBQ Premium 3-piece | Meta-aramid textile, according to the Rösle instructions EN 407 43xxxx and not washable, with tongs and grate brush | approx. €46 | 8.9 | you are missing tongs and a grate brush anyway and textile is enough |
| Petromax Feuertopf ft6 | not a glove but a cast-iron Dutch oven | approx. €75 | 9.0 | you do not yet have a cooking vessel for the fire and plan the gloves as an accessory for it |
Prices are guide values from our individual reviews (as of September to October 2026) and change. The rating is our editorial assessment from comparing manufacturer data, not a measurement result; between gloves and a Dutch oven it says nothing.
What MOESTA does not state
Besides the points above, the following information is missing on the MOESTA pages we retrieved and in the Amazon catalogue:
- Length of the glove or cuff in centimetres
- Fibre of the inner lining (only “soft textile lining”) and thickness of the silicone layer
- Data sheet for download and the full text of the SGS test report
- Care symbols or an official washing machine clearance
- CE marking, PPE category, EN 388 for cut protection and proof of food compliance under EU law (the product page only says “intended for contact with food”)
- Country of manufacture and maker of the glove; only “Designed in Germany” appears on the product page
- Market launch of the HEATPRO and date of the Amazon listing
- A measured value for cold protection (a side description speaks of cold-resistant, without a temperature)
- Service life and number of possible cleaning cycles
- A manufacturer warranty (for warranty and returns see the frequently asked questions)
Who it suits, and when to choose something else
For trays and hot pots by suitable handles the HEATPRO fits, and for pulled pork or spare ribs that you grab by hand, from our point of view it is better than a textile glove: the silicone surface is intended for food contact and can be washed off. MOESTA does not name hot grill grates as a use, and a grate over strong direct heat can exceed the 250 °C contact heat; MOESTA’s buying guide assigns hot grates to aramid, not silicone. We derive this from the material specifications; we have not worn either of the two.
It is wrong for anyone who wants to move embers or glowing briquettes by hand or do knife work with the glove. Glowing charcoal is moved with charcoal tongs or a poker as a matter of principle. If you put your arm deep into a kettle grill or smoker, clarify the length with MOESTA before buying or take the RAPICCA, for which a length specification is available.
On price, the HEATPRO at approx. €60 is €30 above the RAPICCA and €14 above the Rösle BBQ Premium set. For the extra money, our assessment is that you mainly get evidence: MOESTA states temperature, contact time and test standard, whereas for the RAPICCA contact time and test standard are missing. The Rösle set costs less and also includes tongs and a grate brush, but according to the instructions it is not washable.
If your measurements are below the thresholds in the size section, this ASIN is the wrong one; the frequently asked questions list the item numbers of the other sizes. In the MOESTA shop the pair currently costs €44.90 instead of €59.90 (special price, minus 25 per cent, per pair including VAT and plus shipping costs, as of 14.10.2026). Grey in XXL is available there; anthracite and olive in XXL are sold out.
