What is this called: British oven pot holders connected by towel
I'm a Yank, and I often see on British TV a pot holder or oven mitt like this: two square mitts (terry cloth?) connected by a dish towel or tea towel, so it's all one piece. What are they called?
The ones I've seen, on Great British Baking Show for instance, are not gloves. They are two square pot holders that you slip your hands inside, connected with by an additional piece of cloth. Maybe the cloth helps prevent burning your forearms on the pan?
I cannot find out what this is called, and we just don't seem to have them in the USA. I'd really like to know where to get some.

Colloquially we call them 'oven gloves', commercially they seem to be called 'double oven gloves', to differentiate them from oven mits which we also call oven gloves, but we would call two oven mitts a 'pair of oven gloves'. I'm sure I've made that perfectly clear...

To simply answer your questions, here in the UK they are simply referred to as oven gloves but I feel that is more of a general term for cloth designed to be used to hold hot pots.
