Know before you buy
No, these tongs are made entirely of stainless steel. Using them on non-stick surfaces may scratch or damage the coating, so they are best reserved for stainless steel, cast iron, or enamel cookware.
These tongs are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and the integrity of the locking mechanism, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water.
The tongs feature a self-locking system that keeps them in a closed, compact position. This makes them much easier to store in a drawer or hang on a utensil rack without them splaying open.
Yes, they are heat safe up to 600°F. Their heavy-gauge stainless steel construction is designed to withstand the high temperatures of both indoor stovetops and outdoor grills.
The scalloped edges are designed to provide a secure, reliable grip on a variety of foods, from large cuts of meat to smaller vegetables. The ergonomic handle also gives you the control needed to handle delicate items without crushing them.
