These tongs are my go to cooking utensil! I love them! I use them for flipping tortillas, bacon, sausage and more. They are perfect for cooking pasta too. I love that they don’t scratch my pots and pans and can be used with heat. I use they pretty much everyday and they are still in great condition. I highly recommend these. I myself will soon be buying another pair, most likely the 12” because it would be nice for them to be a little longer.
