Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads
Customer Review: Great kitchen tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I had three pairs of not-entirely-satisfactory tongs in my kitchen that I wanted to replace. These OXO tongs are top-rated by America's Test Kitchen, and the review there pointed out that they have a gentle scallop that won't tear delicate foods.
These are great! They come with either metal or nylon heads - I opted for the nylon so as not to scratch non-stick surfaces (I may get a metal pair later since one reviewer mentioned they can melt with high heat). The ring at the top pulls up to lock them closed, so they store easily in a drawer. They are dishwasher safe, so clean up is a snap. They are very comfortable in the hand and the rubber inserts in the handle make for a good grip. The tongs handle a heavy steak easily, and the slightly cupped heads provide a sure grip on food. They also have the dexterity to pick up lighter items such as garlic toast.
A great item at a reasonable price!
Description of OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads
Finally, the perfect Tongs for use with nonstick cookware. These OXO GOOD GRIPS Tongs feature the sturdy stainless steel construction and soft grips you expect, with nylon heads you need to protect your cookware. The nylon heads are heat resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lock the Tongs in the closed position for convenient storage.Not only do these 12-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won?t scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri
