These tongs work very well, but…….,
Care must be taken when cooking over moderately high heat. I’m not talking about leaving the tongs in the pan, but cases where the tongs graze the hot pan bottom. The nylon tip guards will, I’m sorry to say, easily melt. Perhaps the next great step by Oxo will be the use of silicone for those edges that are likely to melt.

|I can’t believe that I am reviewing tongs. I can’t cook!,
This is my very first non-entertainment related purchase as I can barely boil water so kitchen stuff is not usually on the things to buy list; notwithstanding most of the cookware/utensils that I have are OXO as they tend to be of excellent quality and easy on the hands.
For the first time since I left home, I actually purchased tongs as I’ve always seen how my mom usse them all the time to move “stuff” around with much ease. So I got the babies and they are awesome. No more trying to turn over food in the oven and fearing first degree burns if you don’t happen to grab the food well.
The tongs are really sturdy, lock easily to take less space, and the nylon heads don’t destroy your teflon as metal ones tend to. They also stand up to a lot of heat so they don’t melt.
These won’t change your life but if you need tongs these are awesome. Now if OXO could make something to make me a cook.

|One of the most versitile – travels from kitchen to grill,
I have had several tongs sets given to me, both for kitchen and grill. None of which have done a good enough job for me to keep them. THIS one, however, has been a Godsend. I use these both in my kitchen with my cast iron as well as out on the grill. They pick up even the heaviest of of pork loins while at the same time allowing me to turn over some more delicate items. I can saute, turn, pluck, pinch, and grab.
One of the best “surprise” features it has is the lock. It keeps its lock – even in the dishwasher. It is, as the same time, smooth and adjustable enough for me to unlock them with one hand if needed (and at the grill, this comes in QUITE handy!).
COMPLETELY dishwasher safe.
They are indespensible to me, and I am going to invest in a few more to have around the house. What more could you ask for?
