We used this product to replace a previous (unknown brand) that eventually broke. The OXO Tongs are prefect for serving foods like chicken, pork, sausages, steaks, and baked potatoes right out of the oven. We also used the tongs to serve pasta noodles. The tongs are small and not large like tongs used on a barbeque grill. OXO sent our family the tongs in exchange for an honest review.
