Know before you buy
No, these tongs are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the natural teak wood, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately.
To keep the wood from drying out, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This will help maintain the smooth texture and protect the wood from moisture.
Yes, because they are crafted entirely from smooth teak wood, they are gentle and safe to use on non-stick surfaces without the risk of scratching.
The tongs rely on the natural spring tension of the teak wood itself. They are designed for light, elegant serving tasks like tossing salads or picking up ice, rather than heavy-duty gripping.
The Chiku Tongs measure 7.3 inches in length, making them a compact and versatile size for table-side service or serving bowls.
