Tribal Cooking Stainless Steel Tongs - 9" and 12" With Silicone Tips, Locking BBQ Tongs

What a great buy. I bought a second pair for a housewarming gift with some other things. I love the big pair for turning meat while cooking.

These are great! I haven't noticed any rusting or wearing away of anything. Silicone tips are the besssst! The locks are a bit tight but I'm sure they'll loosen up over time.

useful and good price

good quality. the mechanism to keep the tongs closed works well and seems sturdy.

If kitchen tools had a Hall of Fame, the Tribal Cooking Kitchen Tongs with Silicone Tips would have a prime spot on the podium. These tongs are the unsung heroes of my culinary adventures, handling everything from flipping bacon to tossing salads with the finesse of a Michelin-starred chef.First off, let’s talk grip. The silicone tips are a game-changer. They’re gentle enough to handle delicate foods (looking at you, flaky fish fillets) but firm enough to grab hold of a steak like it owes them money. Plus, the non-slip design means I can confidently wield them even when my hands are covered in barbecue sauce—because, let’s face it, grilling gets messy.The locking mechanism is pure genius. It keeps the tongs compact in my drawer and saves me from that "drawer battle royale" every time I’m hunting for a utensil. And the heat resistance? Oh, it’s there. These tongs can handle the heat, both in the kitchen and on the grill, without breaking a sweat—or melting.Cleaning is a breeze, too. A quick rinse or a spin in the dishwasher, and they’re ready for their next mission. I’m starting to think these tongs are indestructible (though I promise I won’t test that theory on purpose).Bottom line: If you cook, you need these. Tribal Cooking has nailed it with this sturdy, stylish, and oh-so-functional tool. They're not just tongs—they're kitchen MVPs. So go ahead, grab a pair. Your meals (and your sanity) will thank you.

It has good grip and feels like a higher quality item.● Please note, to open your tongs, push down the little loop on the end. I thought everyone knew this but someone who used mine didn't know this and forced them open while they were closed. This caused my tongs to not be able to close properly now 😫. To close them you pull the loop up. So far I've used them when baking, air-frying, cooking...I've used them to ladle gravy...don't ask. They're good, just get them.

Works well

This is a good set of tongs, especially at such an affordable price. I'm constantly using these for turning meat, tossing salads, roasting vegetables, etc. I wouldn't be without them, and these are especially, a good deal. A+++
