OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads

Product Description

A kitchen essential, a good pair of tongs will see you through the toughest cooking tasks while protecting your busy hands from the heat of the oven or stovetop. The OXO Good Grips 9-inch Tongs with Nylon Heads are constructed with sturdy, high-heat resistant nylon, so they’ll stand up to hot grills while being safe for your non-stick skillets. Our Tongs feature scalloped edges for a secure grip whether you're rotating thin asparagus or flipping a thick steak. The handles provide a non-slip grip and absorb pressure so you can grip, toss, turn and flip with comfort and control. The Tongs lock closed for compact storage when hanging or in a drawer. The 9-in/22.5 cm size fits comfortably in the hand. Dishwasher safe. Also available in 12-inch size.

Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won’t scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri
