Amazon.com Review
Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs serve a variety of kitchen duties: tossing salads, flipping cutlets in a frying pan, snagging stubborn pickles from a jar, and more. These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

 I'm lost without my tongs! May 9, 2000

Tongs are the MOST useful tool in my kitchen. I use them to: stir fry, turn hot foods on the grill, hold meat while I slice it, etc. etc. The rubber handles put these tongs over the top. Get 'em greasy, get 'em wet, doesn't matter, they won't slip. Another bonus - where other tongs get too hot these are fine because the rubber stays cool. You can safely use these to fish things out from a pot of boiling water! Try that with a pair of all metal tongs... ouch! I also like the ability to lock them in the closed position. You will not regret buying these tongs.

I had a smallish pair of tongs for turning eggplant and cutlets while sauteeing. Tired of burnt fingers, I invested in the locking OXO tongs. Good move. The lock allows you to put the tongs in a drawer, and you just pull the ring at the top to unlock and get the full spread of the tongs.The longer handle, insulated with plastic, means your hands stay cool and more importantly, at a distance from spitting bacon, hot slices of eggplant or a frying chicken breast. They also work fine on the outdoor barbecue grill, though LONGER tongs would be good if your grill is larger than my puny one.
So good, I have one in each of three sizes ! May 15, 2000

Real life (and finger) savers. Sturdy construction with a strong spring. The locking ability is a god-send. I use the super long set for avoiding hot oil splashes and over the grill. Great reach, good balance, easy to clean.
Best one-handed tool ever May 27, 2003

Great balance and tension make these tongs a pleasure to use. I bought them for the grill, but use them for a million other things in the kitchen. I got a small taste of what arthritis sufferers must endure when I whacked my hand on something a couple weeks ago & bruised it badly. My grip strength was greatly reduced & it hurt to try to squeeze anything... this was the only tool in my kitchen that I could still use easily. The locking mechanism is sturdy, simple to operate, & makes storage easy too. Get 'em and you'll find that they move to the top of the "always in the dishwasher" list, because you'll use them that much!
Fine Set of Tongs March 7, 2007

These tongs are sturdy, and fine for all tong tasks. OXO makes these tongs in the 9-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch size. Note that these tongs do NOT have nylon tips at the bottom edges, like another version of OXO tongs that I much prefer. These would not be safe for using on non-stick cookware; however, you could use these tongs for many things you couldn't use the nylon head tongs for because there is no nylon to potentially melt, so you wouldn't have to be as careful with them.
These stainless steel tongs are a great alternative to the cheap aluminum tongs that feel flimsy and break easily. OXO products, including this one, are always easier to use and of high quality.
They store easily in a smaller space because of the locking mechanism at the top and they have a loop if you want to hang them. They clean easily, too. They should be good to go for any kitchen task.
