Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, Amazon.com, and Kai, a renowned cutlery manufacturer, introduce a line of multi-functional gadgets that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. These 4-inch all-purpose kitchen tweezers, constructed of durable stainless steel, are ideal for removing bones from raw fish and for extracting stems and seeds from fruits and vegetables. Their textured, easy-to-grasp surface and tapered, flat tip are designed to grab pin bones with ease. The tweezers feature the Tom Douglas logo and wash up quickly in the dishwasher.

Tom's Tips When boning a fish like salmon, use your index finger to identify the bones. Don't dig into the flesh of the fish. Put your finger right down on the "bends" to get the best pressure point. Use these all-purpose tweezers when making lemonade or iced tea. Pluck out the seeds before squeezing the lemons and your guests will thank you for the seed-free sipping.

If you cook fish and want to remove bones, look no further. I used to use a set of small pliers to remove the bones. These do a better job at grabbing the bone without damaging the flesh and do a much quicker job as well.

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon All-Purpose 18/10 Stainless-Steel Kitchen Tweezers (Kitchen)

(What's this?)

These kitchen tweezers have a nice substantial feel to them. The metal is a heavy enough gauge that they don't bend when pinched. Importantly, however, the metal is not so heavy as to offer too much resistance to pressure. The tips are angled so that they come to a sharp point, and beveled so that they have a thin crisp edge. I was able to deseed some lemon slices in nothing flat without gouging up the slices.

The big unknown so far is the quality of the stainless steel. The tweezers are described as being "Made of high-quality stainless-steel." So the question becomes, "high-quality" as compared to what? Some grades of stainless steel are more resistant to corrosion than others. It will be interesting to see if this implement starts showing rust spots or corrosion over time.

Pros: Cool little gadget.
Cons: Not much information regarding the quality of the stainless steel.

Because there is no information on the grade of the stainless steel, and I have yet to see how these tweezers will hold up over time, a 5-star rating does not seem appropriate.

I purchased this item to remove pin bones from salmon. The ease in which they remove the bones was beyond my expectation!
