Know before you buy
Yes. The silicone tips are soft and non-abrasive, making them ideal for use on non-stick pans, ceramic surfaces, and delicate cookware without scratching.
These tongs are heat-resistant up to 425°F. They are perfectly safe for tasks like turning meat in a hot pan or retrieving items from boiling water, but they should not be left resting directly on a hot burner or inside an oven.
The tongs feature a pull-tab at the end of the handle. Simply close the tongs and pull the tab to lock them in a slim, closed position for easy storage in a drawer or utensil crock.
The 9-inch tongs are best for precision tasks like serving salads or handling smaller items on the stovetop. The 12-inch tongs provide extra reach and keep your hands further away from heat, making them the better choice for grilling or deep-frying.
Yes, the stainless steel and silicone construction is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the longevity of the soft-grip handle and the integrity of the locking mechanism over time.
