Love song composed about very English kitchen accessories (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oven gloves

'kitchen accessories' is the definition.
(oven gloves are used in the kitchen)

'love song composed about very english' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'very' becomes 'v' (common abbreviation).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'love'+'song'='lovesong'
'lovesong' with letters rearranged gives 'ovenglos'.
'v'+'e'='ve'
'ovenglos' enclosing 've' is 'OVEN GLOVES'.

(Other definitions for oven gloves that I've seen before include "Items for handling hot dishes" , "Burns perhaps avoided using these" .)
