All-Clad Specialty Stainless Steel Kitchen Gadgets Locking Tongs Kitchen Tools, Kitchen Hacks Silver

Saw these at a friend’s home and was immediately impressed by the solid construction, ease of use and weight. I purchased them on the spot!

Tongs to me are like American chopsticks, but of course far easier to use. It is the most often used cooking utensil for me, regardless of if I am cooking in the kitchen, grilling, smoking, etc.The ability to grab small and large items, serve pasta, arrange items, turn things, mix, etc., is just priceless.As a welcome gift or to help someone starting to cook I almost always buy them All Clad tongs. Once they use it and understand the functionality they become hooked.The one drawback of the All Clad tongs is sometimes the lock at the hinge engages when you don't want it to engage, but the shape, quality, and function of these tongs are excellent.Tongs and spatula are my most used utensils and if I go traveling and plan on doing some cooking or grilling, these tongs are always packed to go with me. It is pretty funny how many places don't have or don't use tongs. I'm a food network fan and after seeing most of them using tongs I tried it out and never looked back.

Beautiful, but made in Chi-nyna.Quality item.

Husband bought these for me because the rings we had would bend when being used in helping to pick up heavier things like roast or boiler chicken, etc. these ones definitely won’t bend. However, I do have earlier stages of arthritis and these are pretty hard to maneuver. Not the companies fault! Just adding that in there for anyone else with arthritis. It’s to the point that I cant’t really use them. But my husband can and loves them.Id recommend these for anyone looking for nice solid tongs!

Forgot these were All-Clad until I was reviewing my recent orders. Not impressed with craftsmanship, especially the locking mechanism. I’m used to the simple pull up function of my previous tongs, that allowed me to lock and unlock with one hand, but you can’t do that with these. The screw is small, on the side and doesn’t glide easily. You need two hands to luck and unlock. No thanks.

The jaws don't have any grip and the spring tension is too high--Hand fatigue and dropped food are NOT ok for pro quality tools. It's a well built item and the chrome is gorgeous, so maybe these will find use as serving tongs, but for cooking the OXO models are much better IMO. I thought this would be a well sorted pair of professional tongs, but they are all form and no function, not worth the money unless the looks are all you care about.

For appearance and materials, I would give this item five stars. It is a bit iffy when handling heavier food, as alluded to by some of the other reviewers. Still, I like the tongs. They are quite the right choice for serving to guests due to their weight and appearance. If you really want to be able to pick up something heavy and slippery, like a chicken breast, you might also want to get an inexpensive set of tongs.

All clad is the best. It's all i buy because everything all clad i buy, is the last one I need!
