Color:Red All professional grade chef's know that using a fork to lift, flip, turn, rotate, and otherwise move every conceivable type of food while it cooks is not a good idea. For one, puncturing food with a fork releases juices which creates a dry, tough meal. Also, using a fork for handling cooking food is a recipe for dropping your hard work onto the kitchen floor. What's needed is a set of professional cooking tongs that can help even the novice chef manage everything from serving salads, to small shrimp sauteing in a pan to large prime rib roasts emerging from the oven and everything in between. A fork just wont doKitchen tongs have come a long way since grandma's. Of course, there is still the basic model loved by chefs for decades: two plain metal arms connected by a spring. But, for the pros, holm has teamed up with Decker Kitchenware to bring you this set of 3 red serving tongs. The arms come cushioned with silicone, and pincers are nonstick and have silicone scalloping around the edges. Underlying it all is a food grade stainless steel that wont affect the flavor of your food. We believe our innovative design has improved on the old metal tong's. First, we've redesigned the pincers, which are scalloped using silicone rubber. Scalloping the edges makes for a better grip on food. But that's not the end of the story. The shape and firmness of the scalloping can vary. Pronounced scalloping can make items harder to grip. What your tong needs is just the right set of ridges and firmness. We spent hours in our test kitchen making sure our design had just enough scalloping for gripping, but not so much that food would fall right through.

Nice tongs, come here often?
Sometimes people tell ya to "get a grip on life" and when they do that I reach for these tongs and pinch them hard. But let me tell you what you can get a grip on: Pulled pork or pasta; the little one can grab a weight watchers portion every time, Vegetables that have been steamed or oiled, Hot dogs on the Foreman, and kebabs off the grill. My only complaint is that I had one of the silicon pincers fall off when grabbing portions of spaghetti straight from the pot and letting them quick drain. I was able to push it back on and it has not happened since. Also the locked position could be tighter. I just like having a tong for each job in the kitchen and on the grill.

Awesome!
Awesome! I have a daughter that is an amateur cook. She tries new recipes, loves gadgets, and is creative. Every time I visit her, I purchase something new! This time, it was these tongs. They are amazing. I love the variety in sizes, the extra long one perfect for BBQ, and the smaller one is great to use on the table with your meal. They clean very nicely in the dishwasher, and I must say hers have no rust stain - as I have found on other stainless tongs. (she has had her set 2-3 years) The set is a great value for your money. My opinion….

Wow, these are GREAT!!!
This set of 3 tongs is wonderful!!! I'm always looking for decent tongs and get stuck with the cheap, rinky dink versions that don't last. This set is BUILT TO LAST!!! I anticipate having this set for many, many, many years to last! (Did you see how I threw in 3 many's to match 3 pairs of tongs? Yeah, I totally crack myself up!) But I digress..What I love most about this set is that they have the silicone tips! It's much nicer to use that with my ceramic pan set then to use the metal ones I used to have. I never want to scratch the bottom but invariably it happens. I also love the locking feature! It's very handy when I want to set them on a holder so I don't mess up the whole counter.I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. If you decide to purchase this set, you will not be disappointed!

My favorite.
Bought these on May 5th 2016. They are still going strong after almost daily use. I did have to toss the medium one but I still have 2 left. I will definitely buy again once I'm completely done with them.It's June 2020 the large ones get used almost daily but I believe it's time to buy new ones, although I could totally keep using them.

Easy to clean tongs!
I love these. When I ordered them, I thought "well, I really don't need three, I really only need one", but I bought them anyway since the price was right. I'm glad I got them. Sometimes it's just easier to use the smaller one depending on what I'm cooking, and sometimes the bigger ones are better. I love the silicone ends. They make food easy to pick up or turn, and these are also easy to clean after using.

Silicone Tip Melted Off
I used the 12 inch tong to handle some beef tenderloin yesterday that was taken out of the oven and the silicone tip melted off. The oven was set at 425 and the tenderloin had been cooking for around 20 minutes. I can't imagine using this to barbecue over an open fire. Im afraid the entire thing would melt off.

Sturdy and very useful
This is a great sturdy set of tongs. They have a nice rubber grip so they don't slip in your hand which is important while handling hot food. They have a nice locking feature too for easy storage. I use these all the time. They are a great asset to my kitchen utensil collection and come at a great price.
