I got these because liked the idea of putting on the pan to hold them and they work well in that aspect.   They are dishwasher safe which is a must for me.  The downside is that if you're grabbing slippery things and trying to plate with this, for example ribs, they don't have good teeth on the end to hold them and they slip.   The other downside is that they don't lock closed nicely like other tongs so they're a bit bulky when putting away.  For simple things like flipping steaks and moving things inside a pan they work well.
