Know before you buy
No, these tongs are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and the integrity of the Butterfly Ginkgo design, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately.
These tongs are not designed for use with non-stick surfaces. Because they are crafted from stainless steel, they may scratch or damage delicate non-stick coatings.
The tongs feature an integrated spring-loaded locking mechanism that allows you to keep them in a closed position. This makes them much easier to store in a drawer or utensil crock when not in use.
These large tongs are specifically designed for serving appetizers, desserts, or salads. The spring-loaded action provides a secure grip, making it easy to transfer items from a platter to a guest's plate with precision.
The handles are designed primarily for their aesthetic appeal and the Butterfly Ginkgo motif. While they are functional and easy to operate, they do not feature specialized ergonomic grips.
