Like the Pampered Chef model June 27, 2007

Great for grilling....locking mechanism works well and easily. I was seeking a look-alike product for the Pampered Chef model and found it.

Excellent product! May 31, 2007
The tongs are great! They are easy to open and close and they are the perfect size. Being heat resistant and non-scratch, they are perfect to use on indoor pots and pans AND on the BBQ. I fully recommend these!

Tongs can be locked and unlocked with one hand ! December 30, 2006

I have owned these tongs for a few years, and would buy again.

ADVANTAGES:
The gripping tips are covered with something (nylon or silicone?) which is heat resistant, yet does not scratch teflon pans nor other non-stick pans.
They really are heat resistant. I have used on hot indoor grills with no problem.
The tongs can be locked in the closed-together position, so they don't take up much room when stored in a drawer or wherever.
The tongs can open very wide to accomodate almost anything.
The tongs do not require much strength from the user.
They can be put in the dishwasher.
The tongs can be locked and unlocked with one hand -- a unique feature among tongs. This is essential for anyone who is limited to one hand, but is also useful to anyone with their hands full in a busy kitchen.

DISADVANTAGES:
The coated tips (which never scratch teflon) have rounded edges and are sometimes a little too slippery. They do not bite into the food. Heavy food will sometimes slide out of the tongs. Maybe if I had the strength to grip tighter they would work better, but I'm not sure of that. Because of this disadvantage, I also own a different pair of tongs which grip better, but which would be dangerous to teflon.

The other disadvantage is that sometimes (about 5% of the time), the locking and unlocking mechanism does not work on the first try; but if I try again, it usually works. I am guessing that the lock/unlock mechanism depends on a sliding spring to fall into place, and sometimes it doesn't quite exactly align, so sometimes I give it a very slight shake during re-try. This seems to be the tradeoff for the convenience of single-hand locking and unlocking. All the other locking tongs I looked at required two hands to unlock.
