Abstract: A thermal protector is provided for reducing the risk of burns associated with the handling of hot objects. The device has an elongated body with a pair of mitt style hand pockets disposed at opposing ends. The mitts protect a wearer's hands while the elongated body acts as a barrier between a hot object and the skin of a wearer's forearms. Disposed within the hand-shaped pockets are multi-chambered hidden pockets. These pockets have lengthwise chambers adapted to hold pens, kitchen utensils, and the like. When the device is not in use, it may be folded in half and hung by a handle. In the stowed position, the multi-chambered pockets are upright, enabling insertion and retention of objects.
