Product Description
Once you own a pair of tongs you'll never be able to get along without them. Grab corn on the cob or lobster from the pot, flip chicken in the pan or under the broiler, hold red peppers for roasting over your range, and the list goes on. In brushed stainless steel they will retain their good looks even while working hard.

Amazon.com Review
Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen accessories, and that's welcome news to serious and professional cooks. These 12-inch tongs are a perfect example of the tools' professional-grade quality. They're made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel that is polished to a mirror finish. Their handles are slightly rounded for comfort and the heads are scalloped for a firm grip. For storage, the tongs lock tightly. All-Clad tools are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Great product April 6, 2008
What you expect from All-Clad. Heavy duty stainless steel and easy to clean. I'm not a fan of most locking tongs, but this lock will not lock accidentally.

Worst I've ever used February 17, 2008

These are in a word, horrible. They simply do not work. The "teeth" are
flat (no curvature) to clamp/bite into food. You have to exert extra
force on the handle to keep food from slipping out of tongs. Judging
by the workmanship I'd say these were made overseas. Clearly not up
to All Clad's standard of craftmanship. I bought the Rosle brand to
replace All Clad's tongs, the Rosle is far superior. I use All Clad's
cookware but some of their tools leave much to be desired.

Not worth it! November 17, 2007
I'm an All-Clad fanatic. I have their pots and pans, their measuring cups, and most of my cooking utensils are All-Clad. All of them have exceeded my expectations in its quality, design, and utility, except this one. Thank goodness I didn't pay for them (I got this as a bonus gift to buying bunch of other All-Clad pots and pans) b/c unlike other All-Clads, they are NOT worth the price! The locking mechanism is not designed well -it takes a little more effort than my other tongs to lock and unlock during cooking, which might not seem much, but it becomes a huge nusiance when you use it as much as me. But what's most disappointing is that the end of the tongs are so flat (my other tongs curve inward slightly so that it will hold onto food better) that unless I use extra force to hold onto the food, it just slips out (talk about hands cramping!). Like others have commented here, it looks beautiful, but in terms of getting things done in the kitchen, it fails miserably.

Look nice, but not so functional. June 2, 2006

The tongs look very nice, but in general are not as good as others that I've used. The tongs flex quite a bit and as a result, make it difficult to pick things up. I prefer AMCO brand tongs, which are much sturdier and cheaper (if that is an issue).

I like 'em (now) February 10, 2006

I own a lot of All Clad. These are certainly as beautiful as the rest, but not as well designed. With that said, I like them. These do take some getting used to -- they are heavy and the spring mechanism does not work as smoothly as the one on the OXO tongs (I have those too.)

When I first go them, I hated them because for the reasons listed above, I found them difficult to operate. Now, I've thrown out other tongs to keep these and my OXO version. (I use the OXOs in my nonstick skillet.) I guess the gym is really paying off because now I don't find them that difficult to use and I actually enjoy them. I look at this as a sign of progress because I've always been accused of having weak hands and wrists.

If you are looking for good quality tongs that are the easiest to use, I recommed the OXO tongs over these. If you don't mind sacrificing some ease of use for beauty these are fine.
