Amazon.com Review

Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs serve a variety of kitchen duties: tossing salads, flipping cutlets in a frying pan, snagging stubborn pickles from a jar, and more. These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Product Description

Get a good grip on that hot potato, slippery corn cob or sizzling steak with these sturdy tongs. The slip-resistant, soft handle will help you get the job done in greater comfort and with greater security.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm lost without my tongs!, May 8, 2000
By "goofy" (Redmond, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxo Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs (Kitchen)
Tongs are the MOST useful tool in my kitchen. I use them to: stir fry, turn hot foods on the grill, hold meat while I slice it, etc. etc.

The rubber handles put these tongs over the top. Get 'em greasy, get 'em wet, doesn't matter, they won't slip. Another bonus - where other tongs get too hot these are fine because the rubber stays cool. You can safely use these to fish things out from a pot of boiling water! Try that with a pair of all metal tongs... ouch!

I also like the ability to lock them in the closed position. You will not regret buying these tongs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely a kitchen essential, October 31, 2003
This review is from: Oxo Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs (Kitchen)
I had a smallish pair of tongs for turning eggplant and cutlets while sauteeing. Tired of burnt fingers, I invested in the locking OXO tongs. Good move. The lock allows you to put the tongs in a drawer, and you just pull the ring at the top to unlock and get the full spread of the tongs.

The longer handle, insulated with plastic, means your hands stay cool and more importantly, at a distance from spitting bacon, hot slices of eggplant or a frying chicken breast. They also work fine on the outdoor barbecue grill, though LONGER tongs would be good if your grill is larger than my puny one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect barbecue tongs at a great price!, September 23, 2002
This review is from: Oxo Good Grips 16-Inch Locking Tongs (Kitchen)
These tongs are cleverly designed and solidly built, with a good, sturdy spring, a convenient locking mechanism and comfortable, stay-cool rubber handles. The 16-inch variety is the perfect length for barbecues. It is too long for most indoor tasks.

The 12-inch is the best size for all-around use, and the 9-inch is best for salads and the like.

Enjoy!
