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.

These are the best tongs ever. The have a rubber handle which is easy to hold and makes them slip resisant. They can be locked closed for easy storage. They are heat resistant but I learned the hard way not to use them on the grill. I melted the tip just a little bit.

Very attractive & functional. Well designed & sturdy. A set of two, so they are well priced. Saw in store today-one flimsy thing for $11. These are far superior. It is important that tongs are coated to protect your pots & pans & plates.

Update: Over a year later, they've been used almost daily and been in the dishwasher (very hot) many times. They get a lot of use & still look brand new. I've given these as a gift & they are most welcome. These tongs are an indispensable part of the kitchen arsenal. You will be pleased with this item!

These are a terrific buy! I loved them from the start, and my husband really loves them! He loves his eggs sunny-side up, and they have to be cooked just perfect - I purchased Rachael's Cookware Set and these tongs to use with them. He was able to make his eggs just the way he liked them, using the smaller tong along with her small skillet. He stated that he looked for a "suitable" fork to use but found these and they worked so much better. Trust us, you will not be sorry for this purchase!!

These are so easy to handle and they withstand a lot of heat. I would definitely recommend these.

I BOUHGT THE TONGS BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED A SET OF THE OTHER KITCHEN TOOLS THAT RACHAEL SELLS, SPATULA FLIPPER, ETC., AND I REALLY LIKED THEM. I AM AFRAID SHE HAS MISSED THE MARK WITH THE TONGS THOUGH. WHEN YOU PUSH THE END IN THAT OPENS THEM UP TO USE, THE TONGS WILL PINCH YOUR HAND. IT CAN REALLY HURT AND THE FIRST TIME I OPENED THEM, I WAS NOT EXPECTING IT TO HAPPEN AND IT ACTUALLY LEFT A PINCH MARK. THE TONGS THEMSELVES ARE ACTUALLY VERY NICE AND WORK GREAT AS FAR AS COOKING WITH THEM AND I DO LIKE THAT THEY WILL CLOSE FOR STORAGE. I KEPT THEM AND I AM JUST CAREFUL WHEN I OPEN THEM. THE TWO SIZES ARE NICE, TOO. IF YOU CAN GET PAST THE PINCH PROBLEM, THEY ARE QUITE USEFUL BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY COULD RETHINK THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT ON FUTURE SALES.

The Rachael Ray tongs are not only attractive but more importantly, useful! They work so much better than the cheap tongs I had for years. I love the fact that they have a locking device to keep them closed in the drawer (taking up less space). It's surprising how many things I now use them for that I never used my old ones for.

Roses are red, Violets are blue
You can't find better tongs for you
They grip, they turn, they send you TWO!!
Oh no, there's no better song sung for tongs, it's true!

Ok -- I love them. I really really do!
