Product Description
When you need more control than a spatula affords tongs are frequently a good choice. Flip chicken breasts, grab a bunch of fries, remove hot corn on the cob from the pot and more.
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

 Perfect barbecue tongs at a great price! September 23, 2002

These tongs are cleverly designed and solidly built, with a good, sturdy spring, a convenient locking mechanism and comfortable, stay-cool rubber handles. The 16-inch variety is the perfect length for barbecues. It is too long for most indoor tasks.The 12-inch is the best size for all-around use, and the 9-inch is best for salads and the like. Enjoy!
Best tongs for the BBQ May 1, 2003

These kitchen tongs are better than any purported "BBQ" tongs I have tried. Most BBQ tongs are so tight, they'll give you hand cramps at the end of the day. The springiness on these is just right, and the rubber grips reduce slippage. Also, I don't know why, but many BBQ tongs have claws instead of being scalloped like these. These are much less likely to tear apart tender fish.The locking feature is great so you don't have to have 16" tongs splayed open all the time. They lock in the closed position by pulling on a metal ring at the end of the tongs. I tied a leather loop to the ring, so I can hang them and lock them in one motion. To unlock, I just press the ring against my body - all done with one hand. To top it all off, they are sold at a great price. Don't let the fact that these tongs are not advertised as BBQ tongs fool you - they're great for grilling.

Love these tongs. The 12" model is much more practical for the kitchen, but this 16" model is absolutely perfect for the barbeque. There are many brands of tongs, but OXO has the best springiness -- not too strong and not too wimpy. The only other tongs worth considering are the 12" Hamilton Beach ones that lock or unlock by gravity -- one or the other as you invert them. The latter are excellent for a cook who cannot use a second hand to move the locking piece at the handle end of the OXOs.
Tongs for the grill May 30, 2006

Tongs. Yes, I know, you can get tongs anywhere. Well, let me tell you, I have used countless pairs of "nice" and "professional" grill tongs through the years and nothing has held up like my Oxo tongs. This is by far one of the most important tools in your grilling arsenal...at least outside of your grill and maybe the beer you should be drinking while using your grill.
The 16 inch tongs are long enough so that you don't burn your hands on the grill and sturdy enough so that you can lift an entire turkey from grate to platter. I will use nothing else!

These tongs (or some tongs much like them) are essential in the kitchen. Yeah, they're 16 inches, which means they are long, but if you have a stove of any size you'll use them daily. Some reviewer below said they were only for the bbq, but I use them at the stove without any ill effects (though they'd be great bbq tongs--I just don't want any damage to happen to them). They handle smoothly, have a light touch, and lock and unlock quickly and easily. I like these tongs so much, I get sad when I have to cook without them (at someone else's house, for example). Seriously. Get them.
