Product Description

Introducing the Tongo¿: a strong 9 locking tong with a light touch. A patented, silicone work-end gives a sure but gentle grip. Not just for grilling and heavy lifting anymore, the tong has become a popular kitchen must have. Recognizing that even the best silicone-ended tongs often lack the accuracy of metal tongs, Chef'n patented a specially designed, silicone encased work-end for the Tongo.¿ Able to cradle delicate foods while sturdy enough to handle heavier or larger foods, the Tongo¿ represents the unique ingenuity that has defined Chef'n for over 20 years. Crafted from stainless steel with 650?F heat resistant, silicone work-ends and easy one-handed opening of locking mechanism!

The tongs work very well. The locking mechanism works but easily becomes unlocked if the tongs get moved around in the drawer. That hasn't really been a problem for me.

Tongs have worked great for me so far . Very high heat rating . Very pliable . Work wonderfully in my non-stick pans and also great in my deep fryer too . Locking mechanism is nice for storage . Easy to clean and of course dishwasher safe as well . Cons : they weren't free .

It's a good concept, and it's good quality. But it doesn't open wide, making it a little frustrating to use. You should know it only opens to 3.25" max.
