Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
These tongs are handy for flipping a chicken breast, for turning shrimp in the pan, pulling an open-faced tuna melt sandwich out from under the broiler and so on. Thanks to their nylon ends they can be safely used with non-stick cookware!

Amazon.com Review
Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won't scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Love These Oxo Tongs August 29, 2008

I needed tongs to use with my non-stick pans and these are great. I use them all the time, like the nonstick and the locking feature. You generally can't go wrong with OXO products.

A good pair of tongs that don't scratch my cookware August 14, 2008

This pair of tongs has a good grip, and good nylon tips. My only gripe is that the arms of the tongs could be a bit easier to clean, but it is a good utensil over all.

No dishwasher safe? August 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

These are great tongs. The other zillion people rating them should have you convinced of that by now. Even though I'm very satisfied I'm going to concentrate on my complaints instead of their virtues.

Cons(-)
- hard to get clean without a dishwasher. The arms are not closed but curve under towards the food side, making a long skinny cave for stuff to hide.
- The rubber grips on the arms are far from heat safe. I'm not sure how they ever got exposed to direct heat there without my hand burning up first, but they did.

Neutral
- In retrospect a longer pair would make some jobs easier. Nine inches is really only right for the stove top.

Pros (+)
- Many, see the other reviews.
- Notably the locking design is vastly superior to the foolish old ring design, what were we ever thinking?

Verdict: buy 'em.
