Abstract: An apparatus that can function, in one aspect, as a cloth serving mitt. The apparatus includes a hollow tube having an inferior opening with dimensions for extending an arm there through. When an arm is extended through the tube, the serving mitt covers the arm from the fingers to a point above the elbow. With the fingers extended through the hollow tube, the fingers are able to assist in carrying items, such as dishes. There is also a thumb hole to aid in keeping the serving mitt in place during use while also allowing the thumb to assist in carrying the items. In one embodiment, the serving mitt includes at least one heat resistant pad attached to the tube so the user or the user's clothing will not be burned when carrying hot items on the user's arm.
