These glove ($6 USD) enabled me to directly hold the hot wort bag and squeeze it. After a number of seconds I would have to shift hands. But they still did a very good job of protecting my hands while allowing me enough dexterity to brew.
This is the bag I used for brewing. It worked well.

It was $8 , and its cotton, and it shrank (from 24" to 21") but it was all I could find in New Jersey.

Squeezing bags, getting dropped items out of the bottom of pots of boiling wort, mixing up pbw and cleaning stuff

I also use some Ikea silicon mitts for handling hot pots and more importantly hot erlenmeyer flasks

I use a pair of large rubber dishwashing gloves with my neoprane diving gloves underneath. Works awesome,I can squeeze the bejesus out of a hot bag and don't notice the heat. Also great for turning my ball valve on and off when drawing off wort for starters during the boil.

I went to the RSEA safety shop and asked the bloke for something I could stick in boiling water... That wasn't the $80 pair of ansell gloves they had for that purpose.
He basically explained that all the Ansell gloves are, are a PVC style glove with a cotton liner. The liner creates an airpocket that protects your hands.
He suggested buying the $2 rigger cotton inserts (anyone who has played indoor cricket would have seen these as the centers gloves) and I bought the Green PVC sand gripped gloves.. Only because they were a little thicker then the red...
All up about $16 and I can squeeze the bag without having to take a break to cool down.. I also needed to pull my false bottom out of my pot while it was boiling since it didnt seem to be boiling as rigorously as I wanted.. The boiling water was warm, but wasnt too scary

Try tying some cooking twine to your false bottom/cake rack
And tie that to your pot handle...
next time just pull the string

Gloves for squeezing, for me, not anymore. I've been hanging my bag over the pot from a pulley and using two pot lids; it works great and with great control.

I use 2 12"square plates and some quick clamps. Get most of the wort out and little to no mess or bother.
