These tongs are definitely sturdy, and the silicon coating will help protect your pans. I've used these for a couple weeks and the only drawback is that the silicon can sometimes be too slick to really grab onto food. It's more of a problem when the food is in water (like pasta).

However, they're infinitely better than the all-plastic variety of tongs. With the plastic kind, you can't get a grip on anything because the plastic just bends. The metal tongs allow you to squeeze strongly enough to pick something up.

Bottom line: Nice to have in the kitchen, but not the only pair of tongs you'll ever need.

The silicone tips are nice I guess. They help with gripping and won't melt like nylon tips and are easy to clean.

I really like these tongs, although as mentioned in another review some things will slide out due to slickness. However, I use these tongs more than any other. I like the fact that you can close for storage! I would definately buy again.

The spring does not provide adequate open pressure. The rest of the product is of nice quality. It is unfortunate about the spring because it makes using the tongs somewhat cumbersome.

I'm not sure why I needed silicone tongs? I never reach for them during my cooking. I always reach for the Rosle (sp?) locking tongs though so maybe thats why, cause the Rosles are awesome.

I'll start with the one positive - they are very sturdy. They are difficult to use. It doesn't grip a steak because of the silicone. I don't know if there is a way to improve this issue but I've only used them once or twice. I supposed I should throw them away but still they sit in my drawer. I would not recommend this product.
