Customer Review: Best grill tongs ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had these for a couple of years now, and I'm completely satisfied. No more singed forearms. No more dropping meat. These are comfortable in the hand, sturdy, with good grips that have held up in the dishwasher. I've even laid them on top of the grill lid and forgotten them for a bit, so that they were too hot to hold, but the grips didn't melt. (Not saying they WON'T if they get hot enough.) I use them at least once a week. I've had cheaper, shorter tongs that, after a period of use, the jaws just didn't line up right any more, ruining the grip on the food. Not these, even though the increased leverage of the extra distance from the jaws to the hinge would seem to put more stress on the hinge and make that misalignment even more likely. I've used them to turn half chickens, roasts and other heavy things, and little things like veggies and skewered shrimp. For lots of thinner things, you don't even have to release the latch to let them open all the way. They're kind of cumbersome when wide open and not in use, but it's a cinch to work the latch to close them and open them. Finally, the spring tension is just right. So many grill tongs have you fighting the spring just to close the jaws, making it necessary to squeeze them quite hard just to have a decent grip on the food. Not these. Just enough springiness to keep them open, which lets your grip hold the food, not fight the tongs. Great for those of us with limited grip strength. Oh, one more thing. It's no trouble at all to handle raw meat with these and keep right on using them without washing to avoid spreading bacteria. The longer length makes it easy to just place the business end right over the fire for a bit to cook off any dangerous germs, so you can go from placing the raw meat on the grill to serving it without washing the tongs or grabbing another pair.
Description of Oxo Good Grips 16-Inch Locking Tongs
When you need more control than a spatula affords tongs are frequently a good choice. Flip chicken breasts, grab a bunch of fries, remove hot corn on the cob from the pot and more.Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs serve a variety of kitchen duties: tossing salads, flipping cutlets in a frying pan, snagging stubborn pickles from a jar, and more. These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
