 Pretty much a limited use kitchen tongs Jan 21, 2008
By D. Henderson
The main reason I purchased these silicone tipped kitchen tongs are for safely removing my ceramic ramekins from a Bain Marie bath. That they do well as well as for anytime I want to move something hot without scratching something. The working ends are covered with a thick layer of silicone. But because the tips are not scalloped and are not very cupped (like my Edlund Restaurant Tongs - Scalloped: 12 INCHs'), the working ends are not efficient for picking up or grasping cooked food. And the tong lock is too loose: it does not take much to open these tongs which is annoying since the tongs keep opening up in my storage crock.
Unlike nylon tipped tongs, I do not expect these silicone ends to fray with use like nylon. I've owned and used Ecko and Calphalon nylon spatulas which are "safe" for non-stick cooking surfaces. But the heated ends of both spatulas began melting and fraying with use. I'm not interested in introducing frayed nylon in my diet.
PROS: Great non-slip silicone working ends for removing ramekins from a Bain Marie. Is heat resistant and should not melt or fray like nylon
CONS: The lock opens too easily and the working ends do not grip food efficiently and effectively.

 HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION May 20, 2009
By Jeffrey S. Davis
When these tongs arrived I could not believe the old-fashion quality of this product! It is sturdy and the 9" size fits the hand comfortably. I used it today to turn a steak instead of using a fork. The control is perfect and makes this product safer to use than traditional tong designs. I especially like the sure-fire locking mechanism.

Messermeister Silicone Coated Locking Tong Dec 07, 2010
By D. French
Great product. My daughter used mine at Thanksgiving and loved it. I purchased this one for her for Christmas. Grip is great. It locks closed, taking up less drawer space and is easy to use.

"reel lover"
It's hard to grab anything that lies flat in a pan or on a counter top.
