This is a great product. I bought these after spending a good while looking at different ones in the store. The scalloped edged tongs seemed to be sharp as were the pointed type. These were perfect with rectangular edges perfectly shaped not to be sharp or hard. They stay closed when you want them closed and open when you want them open. I looked at all brands available in two discount department stores and then traveled to a kitchen specialty store........these were the only kind that filled the bill for me. The size is also perfect for indoors on the stove stirring or serving noodles, veggies, meats and outdoors on the grill. The silicone edge is good up to 500 degrees.
I highly recommend this product and believe me I looked around. Be sure and get 2 to 3 tongs for all your pots and pans on the stove.

I've used and discarded too many tongs to count. All are required to be non-stick pan safe, for my grill pans and Scanpan. I've had the standard restaurant style with the rippled edges. I find this more than normal, frustrating. I've tried a pair that stays closed when you point them up and squeeze, but opens when you point them down and squeeze. This was cool at first, but because a serious pain when I actually needed to grip something up and it locks on me. Let alone the edge that seems destined to chop of part of my finger.

I was surprised that there we no reviews for this product when I came to the page. I'm here to buy two more. I'm getting sick of using my bad tongs when I've already dirtied this one. Not pinch points, the tong closes when you pull the tab on the bottom (no before). It is just a great pair of tongs.

These tongs work great and have a locking feature that makes them easy to store. I like the size because you have no hesitation in using them. Maybe I'm weird, but I hesitate dirtying up large tongs for a quick task. With these, it's a no brainer - they're nice and easy to use and small enough that you just grab for them naturally. The silicone surfaces are top-notch - they take any level of heat and wash off easily. Absolutely no complaints.

I wanted a flat tongs to flip fish fillets in a skillet. First issue was to find out (after it was too late) that the shipping on this item is over six dollars for a $13+ purchase. IMO, the shipping amount was too high (should be free like most items on Amazon). After this item arrived, I noticed that it would not fulfill my needs and I sent it back and received only a credit on the $13 but I had to eat the six dollars shipping. Please make sure if you really need to actually spend $20 for an item that should only cost one-half to two-thirds of this product.
