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

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.

These are great for the barbeque! August 6, 2008
We purchased the 9" tongs for our kitchen and liked them so much we decided to try the 16" tongs for the grill and we are pleased with the length so you can keep those delicate fingers away from the heat. All the better to lick the food off instead of licking a burned finger because it hurts.

Awesome for the Grill July 7, 2008
If you have a charcoal grill, this is an awesome product! Move the coals, flip your food, all while not burning your hands!

grip plus June 27, 2008
Due to diabetes, my hand griping ability is impaired. I could not always control regular tongs; my small finger would get caught between the levers. The OXO soft handles and long reach solved my problem and I will keep "grillin" at every excuse I can create.

Good BBQ Tongs , So Far May 16, 2008
I bought these to use arround the grill, based on my experience with the 12" tongs that I use in the kitchen. They grip ribs and chicken firmly without tearing the meat, and definitely prevent some hand burns I got with the shorter tongs. My experience is that tongs die when the shafts bend or when the spring hinge malfunctions-so far, so good! They do what they are designed to do-how often does that happen?

Always helps in the reach department April 25, 2008
I bought these tongs as a prize for the best costume at a party I held. I already have a pair of 16" and 12" OXO tongs. They're great as an extension of your hands when you want to turn something over (and not pierce it with a fork), toss a salad or reach for something you can't get to.

My only problem with this particular pair of tongs is that the spring is looser than with my other tongs. They should snap back when you release the lock on the bottom. I guess I'll stick with buying them at my local store where I can test them individually.

But I love me my tongs!
