Amazon.com Review

Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen tools, which is welcome news to serious and professional cooks. These 9-inch tongs are a perfect example of the tools' professional-grade quality. They're made of heavy, 18/10 stainless steel that is polished to a mirror finish. Their handles are slightly rounded for comfort, and the heads are scalloped for a firm grip. For storage, the tongs lock tightly. All-Clad tools are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Once you own a pair of tongs you'll never be able to get along without them. Grab corn on the cob or lobster from the pot, flip chicken in the pan or under the broiler, hold red peppers for roasting over your range, and the list goes on. In brushed stainless steel they will retain their good looks even while working hard.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cooking must-have, August 5, 2002

This is the perfect tool for moving and turning over items (such as meats) because you get better grip and leverage than you would using a spatula. I also use it for manipulating items in large bowls when I'm marinating, coating, etc. The "locking" feature helps save space when storing in my drawer. The only drawback I've found with the relatively "flat" ends of this tong is that with some items, especially slippery things like raw chicken thighs, it's hard to get a good grip. So I wish they would also come out with a version which has more rounded ends for better grip capability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Tongs, June 23, 2001

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Locking Tongs (Kitchen)

These All-Clad 12-Inch Locking Tongs are great. I have been using Amco locking tongs (8-in., 12-in., 14-in. sizes), but I like this 18/10 gauge stainless steel better than their 18/8 gauge. I use the lock mechanism when leaving them in a sink, setting them beside the range, drip drying them in the dish drainer, and storing them in a drawer. I use the tongs everyday for almost any kind of cooking, except for when I use a nonstick pan. Then I use Calphalon nylon tongs. I'm glad All-Clad is making utensils now.

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Locking Tongs (Kitchen)

These are really quite beautiful and well made tongs. The finish and weight are first rate. The problem is, at least on the set that I bought, that the spring rate is too high. I found them fatiguing after a very short period of use, and it's not as though I lack hand strength.

In contrast, I recently bought a set of the Oxo tongs, and they are much, much more usable. Not quite as nicely finished, but they also lock and are sprung much better. I think they were a bit less expensive as well.
