Review on OXO Grips 12 Inch Tongs Silicone by Jeff Ross

These are excellent quality tongs. I'm a fan of OXO kitchenware and tongs are no exception. I have tongs of all sizes: 9", 12" and 18" tongs. I have to say that the 12" silicone tipped version is my go-to when cooking. It's easy to handle all foods, the silicone tips won't scratch the non-stick pan and the silicone handles won't transfer heat. They close snugly and tightly for easy drawer storage by closing and pulling the ring from the top/back, and can be opened with one hand by simply squeezing the handle slightly and touching the ring on your thigh, making it ideal for the makes use of. Kitchen with lots to do. I recently bought a second 12" model so I can always use one while the other is in the dishwasher. My original has been in use 3-7 times a week for about 4 years and I can only say that if I look very closely. The bottom line is this is great pliers, great durability, great ease of use.
