Know before you buy
Metal can react with the acidic environment of ferments like sauerkraut or pickles, potentially affecting the flavor or quality of your batch. These beechwood tongs are non-reactive, ensuring your ferments remain pure.
Yes. Because they are crafted from smooth beechwood, they will not scratch or damage the delicate coating on your non-stick cookware.
The tongs measure 12 1/2 inches in length. This long reach is specifically designed to help you easily access the contents of deep fermentation crocks or jars without getting your hands messy.
While they are excellent for turning vegetables or meat, keep in mind that wood can scorch if left directly over an open flame for extended periods. They are best suited for flipping food and general kitchen tasks rather than resting on a hot grill grate.
Hand wash them with mild soap and warm water, then towel dry immediately. To keep the wood in top condition, you can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying or cracking.
