Product Description

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 12-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. Dishwasher safe. 12 in/30.48 cm. Also available in 9-inch size.

Amazon.com

Not only do these 12-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

Get this one: comparison with Oxo SoftWorks
I've had the 9-in version of this used daily for over a decade, at it's still good as new, minus a few nicks and some patina (last picture). No oxidation, no melting plastic or rubber.Because I love these tongs, and looking to build out some dedicated "camping" utensils, I picked up a pair of 12-in Oxo SoftWorks tongs at my local retailer, what I thought was the same thing. It wasn't. Oxo Good Grips is an excellent product. Oxo SoftWorks is unsatisfying.Differences (pictured):- Good Grips locking mechanism is rubber molded over stainless steel. SoftWorks is plastic.- Good Grips metal is thicker gauge (see exposed ends).- Good Grips rubber handle grips are thicker with thumb contour. SoftWorks are flat.- Good Grips has a beefier spring.Similarities:- Same nylon heads.Altogether, the Good Grips tongs have a dramatically more solid, higher quality feel to them.The locking mechanism:I've used a tongs with a variety of locking mechanisms over the years. Squeeze to lock. Gravity rivet. That sliding wire loop.In my opinion Oxo is either the best or equal to the best. Is it strictly one-handed? No. But it is one handed to open: squeeze, push in lock. The mechanism is simple and bulletproof: never breaks or degrades. And it elegantly incorporates a hole for hanging.Easy to clean? Maybe kinda sorta? They're tongs. They have recessed areas and moving parts. I don't wash these in the dishwasher, so I've probably hand washed them (9-in) a thousand times. They're not hard to get clean. But I definitely avoid getting massive amounts of dried greasy food crammed up into the hinge. The materials, stainless steel, nylon heads, all very easy to clean and stand up to a good scrubbing with reasonable tools. No green ScotchBrite. No brillo pads.
