3.0 out of 5 stars Good tongs, wish they were a "bit" better, April 19, 2009

I like these tongs, and I would recommend them for use on "non slippery things." Since these don't have any grooves or "teeth" (rounded or not) they cannot hold onto things that are wet. IE, meats in marinade, chicken out of tray, flipping of firm fish. If they are remotely wet, you have to have a death grip on the meat, and then you could destroy it (trust me I have).

They are a good tong for flipping things on a baking pan, tossing pasta, or using as a mixing utensil if that happens to be the thing you grab without looking. They are very comfy in the hand as well. I would stick to the metal tongs for meat's though, or another silicone tong that has groves that can hold onto wet things better.

I rated these tongs as just OK because although I like the design of them as far as looks go, I think there is a flaw in their design. By this I mean that if you're not careful, they will pinch your finger where the locking mechanism is located. I also thought that the price was on the high side as compared to OXO's line.

I bought these because I wanted the sizes of the tongs, and after reading positive reviews. Have given them about a year's try. As some others have found, every time I use either of these, I get pinched! They also do not secure "wet" meats, etc. Oxo works much better. They're pretty, but not worth the money or frustration.
