Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Always an indispensable tool for cooks, tongs are perfect for grasping foods in hot pans or on the grill. They are also loved by the bartender dealing with a party's worth of ice cubes. These 12-inch tongs are made of tough, heat-resistant nylon and are safe for using with nonstick surfaces. For storage in a handy place, hang them on the oven handle or on a peg. They should be hand washed in a mild detergent. Like all Calphalon nylon tools, they carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea, bad product, March 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Calphalon Nylon Tongs (Kitchen)

What a great idea I thought, a set of tongs that wont damage my pots!
True, they wont scratch your pots, but they also wont pick anything up.
Please do NOT waste your money on these. They are not strong enough, or tensioned enough to pick anything other than salad.
They wont close all the way on anything, and simply bend when you try to grab something solid.
The ideal solution would be a set of tongs that are metal, but have rubber/plastic tips, someone please make one!

2.0 out of 5 stars Inferior to traditional tongs. Not recommended., August 1, 2002

These tongs are a bit hard to hold and to squeeze. More importantly, the odd-shaped business end does not hold food very well. Skip this item and buy traditional spring-loaded aluminum chef's tongs with scalloped edges, which are very reasonably priced and work very well. Or if you need to work on a non-stick surface, choose bamboo or wooden tongs. But skip these; they don't work well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tongs for Nonstick Pots and Pans, December 28, 2000

The Calphalon nylon tongs work well for turning, lifting, and removing food when cooking with nonstick pots and pans. They can also be used for serving at casual meals. I have all the Calphalon black nylon cooking utensils and keep them in a tall crock near my stove. The only problem with these tongs is that I have to put a rubber band around them to keep them closed for storage in the crock. Even if stored in a kitchen drawer, the tongs are spread out and get tangled with other utensils. They are very durable and are easy to clean (I wash all my Calphalon nylon utensils by hand.)
