I started using those thin food preparation gloves when I mix a lot of dry and wet ingredients together. The reason I started is because I love jalapeño peppers in many of my recipies and when I didn't wear gloves the residue from the peppers would make my hands burn really bad for a long time afterwards. Just a good idea, and you can still feel the food really well .
