Product Description
These tongs are handy for flipping a chicken breast, for turning shrimp in the pan, pulling an open-faced tuna melt sandwich out from under the broiler and so on. Thanks to their nylon ends they can be safely used with non-stick cookware!
Amazon.com Review
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

 Indispensable kitchen helper October 9, 2008

It's amazing what a simple kitchen gadget can do when it comes to simplifying daily domestic bliss, I no longer have to play chasing games with the food escaping flat wooden spoons as if in a roller rink. This is my second pair of kitchen tongs, first being made of cheap metal with scratchy parts that I don't use ever unless this one is dirty or missing and I am definitely planning on getting more, the 12 inch looks great for when I'm digging in big pots and pans since this is more of a stove top tong for use in shallower cooking vessels. These have a little rubber loop at the end that opens the tongs for use when pushed and keeps them closed when pulled; I can't even admit how many times I was so wrapped up in my cooking with all my hands busy that I pulled that thing with my teeth, and still got it closed without hurting myself, now I don't recommend doing that but it just shows how in sync this tool becomes with the user.
Oxo is a pretty reliable brand; these are truly wonderful and one can't beat the price! I've been using this pair since April and they are always helping me out, whether its turning over meats and anything I'm grilling or tossing stuff in marinades, lifting bacon or anything cooking in hot liquid or oil safely and best of all the plastic tips are large and rounded and don't scratch the pans I care about. These are pretty agile as well; the tips allow for me to reach anything I need precisely without damaging the food and the 9 inch length makes them feel like an extension of my own hand and not a cumbersome tool. These are fantastic and everyone can find uses in their kitchen and home with these.

I needed tongs to use with my non-stick pans and these are great. I use them all the time, like the nonstick and the locking feature. You generally can't go wrong with OXO products.

 A good pair of tongs that don't scratch my cookware August 14, 2008

This pair of tongs has a good grip, and good nylon tips. My only gripe is that the arms of the tongs could be a bit easier to clean, but it is a good utensil over all.
