Amazon.com Review
Always an indispensable tool for cooks, tongs are perfect for grasping foods in hot pans or on the grill. They are also loved by the bartender dealing with a party's worth of ice cubes. These 12-inch tongs are made of tough, heat-resistant nylon and are safe for using with nonstick surfaces. For storage in a handy place, hang them on the oven handle or on a peg. They should be hand washed in a mild detergent. Like all Calphalon nylon tools, they carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Great until they broke January 14, 2008
Crazy About Cooking (Texas)
I purchased these because I have several other Calphalon kitchen items which I have been very pleased with. I really loved these tongs until after a few months of use they snapped into! I agree with those who said the tongs are just not wide enough for all uses. One day while trying to stretch them just a smidge to fit around something, they broke in half. If I had been applying a lot of pressure, I would have understood, but that wasn't the case. Another drawback is the fact that you cannot close them for storage and they take up too much drawer space. When these broke, I replaced them with spring loaded, rubber-tipped tongs by Amco Houseworks which have worked well for me.
 Great for bacon! November 26, 2006

I have nonstick cookware, and my husband loves bacon. I have tried many different utensils to flip the bacon while cooking, which resulted in many scratched/ruined skillets. I now own these Calphalon tongs, and have found that they are perfect for flipping bacon. I no longer have to worry about scratching my skillets! These tongs have a comfortable grip, and clean up well in the dishwasher. I highly recommend these to anyone!
 Calphalon Tongs NO GOOD!! November 12, 2004

I was VERY disappointed in this item. I would actually give it 0 stars!! I tried turning a pork chop, a boneless chicken breast and even holding a baking bag open to pour contents into a serving dish and they wouldn't hold any of these things. I have thrown mine away and bought the locking metal tongs which I LOVE!!
These are great May 3, 2004
Don't know why anyone is complaining about these tongs?
They are great for Bacon, Chicken breasts, fryed potatoes, sting beans, grilled cheese sandwich etc. You can't pick up a large Prime Rib with these, DUH!!
But find me a better Tong for bacon etc.?
Even my metal ones do not work this good..
Since I have Calphalon commercial nonstick, of course I use the nonstick type now. I see that Amazon doesnt sell these anymore, but bed Bath & Beyond does. I just bought this for my Daughter, who is the worlds worst cook, hates to cook, and truthfully doesnt cook very often..She really thinks that every Meal should be Catered or everyone should have a live in Chef (not a bad idea, Oprah does) lol!!..If they work for her, then they should work great for anyone... If they break, I would take them back!
I don't put these or anytype of nonstick in the dishwasher.
if they 'were' what the photo 'looked' like! February 1, 2004

I will save you the trouble, only buy these if you are using them on food that is the same size as a hershey kiss, they dont open wide at all. I have to open them with my hand just to get them around the food.
