OXO Good Grip 12 Inch Locking Tongs With Silicone Heads

First impressions: High quality 12 inch metal locking tongs that won’t scratch cookware.OXO has never disappointed me and these OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Tongs with Black Silicone Heads continue to impress. I had a pair of OXO metal tongs in the past without the Silicone and was very happy with them however I was always concerned with using them with certain cookware because I was afraid they may scratch the nonstick coating. These Tongs with the Silicon are just as good as my other ones but I can use them when I cook with my nonstick pans without worrying about scratches. The silicone seems to be high quality and work perfectly at any temperature my stove top can reach. They have an easy lock/unlock feature that can be used one handed. The 12 inch is the perfect size for using in the kitchen with most pots/pans.Conclusion:They are easy to use easy to grasp food with precision. They won’t scratch pots/pans and do not melt when working with high temperatures. Easy to clean and store. They are well designed and function exactly as you expect them to function. I would recommend these to anyone who likes to cook and enjoys high quality cookware.
