Know before you buy
The tongs are designed to fold completely flat, allowing them to slide easily into a drawer or hang on a hook without taking up the bulky space typical of standard kitchen tongs.
Yes, because they are crafted entirely from natural cherry wood, they will not scratch or damage the coating on your non-stick pans.
These tongs should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the natural wood to warp or crack over time.
The flame-blackened finish is primarily an aesthetic, artisanal touch that gives the cherry wood its distinctive, sophisticated appearance. It does not compromise the structural integrity of the wood.
At 12 inches long, they provide excellent leverage and a comfortable reach for tossing and serving salads. However, they are best suited for lighter to medium-weight ingredients rather than heavy, dense items.
