Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A sturdy pair of tongs is a kitchen essential. They toss salads, grab anything too hot to touch, turn frying chicken, or lift artichokes from a pan of boiling water. Much better than a fork, they perform all these cooking tasks without piercing food and allowing precious juices to escape.

Kuhn Rikon’s tongs are made from heavy-duty stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Their unique open design also allows them to double as a whisk for whipping cream or aerating sauces. A handy locking mechanism flips open or closed with the touch of a thumb, holding tongs closed for compact storage in a drawer. This item measures 13-1/2 inches long, and is dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars Complements regular tongs, December 4, 2007

This review is from: Kuhn Rikon 13-1/2-Inch Easy-Lock Tongs (Kitchen)

Regular tongs and spatulas are usable but inferior for some tasks. This wonderful utensil fills in those gaps. For example, pan-seared shrimp with their ultra-short cooking time must be removed quickly to avoid overcooking. These Kuhn Rikon tongs allow you to turn or remove multiple shrimp in one pickup. Likewise with baked/broiled asparagus on a sheet pan multiple pieces can be removed at once without damaging their fragile skin. Don't throw the regular tongs away, but having the right tool for the job makes cooking more enjoyable. Also, the rounded wire is easy wear on non-stick cookware surfaces.

I got this to replace the "as seen on tv" wisk/spatula--which doesn't even compare. Do yourself a favor and get this item--I know you will love it. I use it for everything. (Scrambled eggs, French toast, fish, hard boiled eggs, steamed vegtables etc.) It's great on nonstick surfaces too. It saves time and space. You will be able to see and feel the quality as soon as you hold it in your hand. It's sturdy and it looks great. I am getting one for all my relatives for Christmas.

This is by far the most used tool in my kitchen. It picks up eggs without a problem, spaghetti, you can flip things with it, getting toast out of the toaster oven, burgers on the BBQ, the list goes on and on. I own 3 don't know how I lived without them.
