Acceptable Tongs with a couple of drawbacks,

This review is from: Orka 12-Inch Stainless and Silicone Tongs (Kitchen)
This is what I have discovered after using them only once:
PROS: 1. Adequate Silcone-covered tongs that offers a good size grip on food. I originally ordered them for use in my non-stick pans. They are great for that purpose! 2. They are easy to use, and even have a pull tab on the top that draws the tongs together and keeps them together for drawer or hanging up storage. 3. They are perfect size for my use 4. The price was good. 5. They arrived within reasonable time, in fact, even ahead of schedule. CONS: 1. The inside (back) of tongs arms is open & hollow, allowing food to become easily lodged in lower end of this narrow channel. When I washed them, an extra step was required to clean out the channel of trapped pieces of food and sauce. This really wasn't such a big deal, but I would rather have had the arms of the tong constructed so it was all the way around enclosed on both sides. 2. The "Stainless Steel" is more like aluminum (very light weight, rather than the "stainless steel" as shown in the description. I suppose I made the mistake in thinking it was more like 18/10 stainless steel. It is not! I should have known better, especially for the price ($11.95). Although I have not owned them long, they appear to be sturdy enough for use in my kitchen. All in all, I would say that if you need an inexpensive silcone-covered tong, this one will probably serve your needs. Just don't assume as I did, that they are made of "a quality stainless steel". Perhaps if OKRA had someone who actually cooks and washes the utensil, give future input into its design, they would come up with an even more practical tong!

I love the Orka products, and this is no exception. The Orka silicone used on the ends won't ever melt like plastic tongs, and it won't scratch like metal ones. It is also plenty firm to pick up small items.
My only complaint would be that the small slider ring used to lock and unlock the tongs on top has a bit of a cheap feel and I've seen slightly more expensive tongs with a much nicer design. This will match OXO kitchenware very well if you already have some, and is better made than the OXO tongs.

I am very happy with these tongs, they are the perfect size for most cooking applications. They are well made and stand up to repeated dishwasher use. The silicone grips food well and protects non-stick pans from scratches. Another nice touch is the silicone on the handles, this provides a solid grip whether your hands are wet or dry. Storing these tongs is easy since they lock in the closed positon. I would recommend these tongs.
