These 12 inch tongs are fantastic! They are stylish in appearance with the silver handle and black tips. They are super durable, made from quality material. They have great grip strength and you can easily maneuver with ease even with a pretty hefty product. They seem to have a fairly high heat threshold as I was able to use them while frying egg rolls with no melting issues. I like that they have a locking mechanism so that they are easy to store without taking up a lot of space.
