Review on πŸ”’ Versatile and Secure: OXO Good Grips 16-Inch Stainless Steel Locking Tongs for a Superior Cooking Experience by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

After 10 years of use, these pliers still look and function like new.

I was looking for a long smoking tong and I came across it so much that I bought a 12-inch tong 10 years ago. I realized I didn't review the tongs I bought so long ago and thought I'd throw in my two cents. I have several pliers - some I like and some I don't. I also have 12" OXO Good Grips with nylon heads which I use for pans that can be scratched by metal utensils. I also bought a pair of nylon headed tweezers 10 years ago. Both are still in excellent condition, like new but I use them They have different uses. If I'm just turning food, I usually use stainless steel tongs. If I'm also mixing and using a non-scratch pan, I use nylon-headed tongs. Both sets are easy to clean and have no food-snagging areas and are difficult to remove. Comparing them, I think food is less likely to slip out of stainless steel tongs. So, when removing the roast from the pressure cooker, I would most likely use stainless steel tongs. When stirring and turning food in a saucepan, the can be scratched by metal I use pliers with nylon heads, both are great tools depending on I your goals. Since they've both been around for 10 years, I think that's a pretty good rating. Few things last that long these days.

Pros
  • Not only usable for the intended purpose
Cons
  • There are shortcomings
