I have forgotten since the last time I made oven mitts and potholders; the silvery side of the insulbrite . . . does it go towards the hand or towards the heat/oven/pan? tossed the directions sheet cause I didn't think I would forget so quickly. hmph! I may as well start a file on all these lil facts at my age.

towards the heat/oven/pan :-) Insulbrite should face the hot or cold item.

the pan -- the metallic is what reflects the heat

thanks so much ladies!! I love the folks on this board.
