Product Description
These Good Grips 12" Locking Tongs are brushed stainless steel with non-slip handles and comfortable thumb rests. Simply push the soft tab at the top of the Tongs to open them, and pull the tab to lock the Tongs closed for convenient storage. The length of these Tongs makes them perfect for barbecue.

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

after two years... September 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

i love OXO and my tongs are like an extension of my hands in the kitchen. i use them for everything.

for a company that exceeds every expectation i could have in the hand-held kitchen gadget market, there is one nit that needs to be picked with these tongs: the silicon rubber grips do not stay in the holes created for them and while it is not a show stopper (you won't burn yourself or drop anything as a result) it provides moments of frustration, particularly if you rely on them when you are in production mode.

also, the little thingy at the top that locks the tongs in place and then releases them bends after a while.

i have had my tongs for two years as of this writing and they will be with me for the foreseeable future, but it is worth noting the small design inconsistencies for those who would otherwise take it for granted that all OXO products perform superlatively. these tongs are good, but not great.

worth noting that my OXO tongs never go into a dishwasher and hang from a hook over my workspace (never banging around in a drawer), so i would say that they have been pampered when they are not being abused. hand wash only.

three stars.

Good Grips have a good grip August 25, 2008
My husband says these tongs are the best we have. He is pretty hard on tongs due to all the grilling he does. He grills pork loin roasts (each roast is a quarter of a loin, so 2-3 lb ea) and needs something reliable for picking them up and turning them over.

best tongs I've owned, and I've owned several. Might consider the nylon tippped ones as the non-stick pans scratch pretty easily.

Getting the Drawer Open July 24, 2008
The coolest thing about these tongs is the locking bit. Now I can put my tongs in a drawer next to the stove and still get the drawer open.

In the old days, if the tongs got put in the drawer, they'd magically open up during the night waiting for the next time I urgently needed to open that drawer to get a knife... or some tongs. This usually occurred when the bacon had begun to burn. Yanking on the end of the drawer with the fire alarm screaming and my bacon turning to ash is not the best way to start my morning. It leads to expletives and bent tongs.

The tongs locker is the answer. These actually belong to my son, but I'm hiding them when he gets his own house.
