Cooking is fun, but it comes with risks. Even if you own the best knives on the market, one minute you can be chopping vegetables, and the next you're on your way to the hospital, hoping to preserve your fingertip after a mincing mishap. But thanks to these No. 1 bestselling NoCry Cut-Resistant Gloves, you can spare your hands from cuts, nicks and potentially more serious injuries. They're on sale at Amazon, so grab a pair before your next meal-prep sesh and slice with confidence.

Make slippery knives a thing of the past with these machine-washable, food-safe gloves — your fingers (the ones you have left) will thank you.

We'd much rather pay $13 for these gloves than shell out for an expensive hospital visit, and you can't put a price on safety and peace of mind. That said, even the original price is extremely reasonable — but we'll take a discount whenever we can get one! (Note: Prices vary depending on size and color, but you won't pay more than $17 for any pair.)

According to the brand, NoCry Cut-Resistant Gloves are four times stronger than leather and 10 times stronger than steel, meaning it would take quite a lot to pierce them. They come in five sizes to ensure a comfortable fit that won't get in the way of your slicing and dicing.

These gloves are not only ideal for wearing while you're chopping veggies and other food; they also come in handy while you're shucking oysters, grating cheese, using a mandoline (the bane of every cook's existence) or even doing a little woodworking. And since they're machine-washable and come with a limited lifetime warranty, they'll protect your hands for years to come.

More than 29,000 Amazon customers say NoCry Cut-Resistant Gloves are a trusted companion for preventing kitchen misadventures.

"Great for butterfingers!" joked one shopper. "I always get accidental cuts while cutting fruit. So when I finally got these, I was quite excited to test [them] out because it didn't make sense to me how a glove could protect my fingers from a sharp knife. But let me tell you, it sure did! I was cutting an apple and my knife slipped onto my finger and the glove completely stopped it from piercing me. I still felt the knife hit my finger, but it was well-protected and no blood was shed."

"They work, they fit, they're comfortable, easy to wash and are just a great product," raved another. "If you suffer from any type of physical disability that affects the use of your hands, such as arthritis or carpal tunnel, or even if you are just generally clumsy with sharp cutting tools, these gloves will save you a lot of trips to the medicine cabinet."

They're not just for cooking, either. Said a third impressed user: "Started wood carving for fun and bought these for protection. I was skeptical because they look just like basic gloves, but I was proven wrong. Today I almost sliced my finger open when my hand slipped with the knife — the tip of the knife ran hard along my finger ... luckily, I was wearing [the] gloves and to my surprise, the gloves were not even damaged, and neither was my finger!"

One note several users shared? "They are prone to staining," admitted one otherwise pleased reviewer, "but that’s not a big deal because I'm not wearing them for fashion."

"Works great to protect fingers while cutting veggies," wrote a final fan. "The only small issue is that when the glove gets wet from the veggie that's being cut, it's a bit difficult to hold onto the veggie. So the glove needs to be dried a bit with a paper towel from time to time in order to continue slicing."

To those ladies who believe that plain old rubber gloves will keep their hands protected, we say: "No, woman — NoCry."
