Yes, old fashioned I am ........ I still like my pot holders!
So for me, I would be thrilled to receive pot holders (any number) and a larger hot pad/quilt
to set goodies straight from the oven on top!
I am in the same camp, I use pot holders, not oven mitts. Only exception when I worked in a commercial bakery and there was a very real risk of burning arms taking sheet pans out of ovens.
If I am in a kitchen that only has mitts, I use them like a pot holder, I do not put my hand in it.
