KitchenAid Silicone Tipped Stainless Steel Tongs, 12 Inch, Black

Feel sturdy, looks like a good quality product

The media could not be loaded. I recently bought 9" tongs, that turned out to be light weight, jiggled at the hinge, and just plain looked to be cheaply made. The tongs were less expensive than some, but, here again, you get what you pay for. So, I decided to look for another set.I found this set of KitchenAid tongs that, at 10.25", was a bit longer than I wanted, but I know the KitchenAid brand offers quality. I bought them and am so glad I did. The quality between these tongs and the ones I bought previously was night and day.This set of tongs is heavy duty, well made, the lock works well, and the hinge is secure. Since I hand wash my tongs, I expect this set will last for a very long time and this set is now my most used tongs. I use them to turn brochettes, chicken, and other foods on my Ninja grill, and use them to remove food from my air fryer oven. Although I initially was looking for 9" tongs, I am finding I like this length better since it keeps my hand a bit further from the heat.I have added a video on the differences between a cheap set of tongs and a high quality set such as this one. You won't generally find this information in reviews or product descriptions, and it's likely most people don't even notice their tongs don't completely close to hold food. They just wonder why their food fell out of the tongs. I would definitely recommend this set of tongs vs. the less expensive ones. Saving a couple of dollars just isn't worth the headaches of trying to use an inferior product.I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update my review is my opinion changes.

These KitchenAid tongs are exactly what you need if you're looking for a sturdy and reliable pair of kitchen tongs. When people say things aren't made like they used to be, they clearly haven't used these! They feel incredibly well-made, and I honestly don't think I could break them even if I tried.They're wonderful for all sorts of kitchen tasks, from flipping bacon and eggs at breakfast to grabbing those perfect pizza bagels out of the air fryer. The locking mechanism is also a nice touch for easy storage. If you want a pair of tongs that will likely last you a very long time, look no further!

I've had this one for a year and loved it. It's easy to use and clean, the silicone is soft but also sturdy. coming back to buy another one.

Good tongs, but I had wanted longer ones for grilling to protect my hands from intense heat.

strong, simple, must have in the kitchen...no junk allowed

Great tongs, work as they should. Thick silicone end points, easy to clean.Looking forward to full stainless steel.

Well made, thick and rounded stainless steel. I know these will last.
