content: I use tongs for just about everything I do in the kitchen. The rubber handles make these tongs one of my top rated kitchen items. They can get greasy or wet and they still won't slip. Another bonus to is that the rubber on these help heat and cold resistance. I use this alot to turn food in the oven and they haven't burned me once. They also grab small items, that my other tongs have a problem grabing.The one thing I don't like about these tongs is the way they lock. You have to pull on the bottom to lock them. And push in to open. On my other tongs, there is a clasp that slides up and down the handle, those are much easier to use while cooking. With these you have to use two hands to close. One to hold the handle and the other to pull the little clasp thingy closed. Doesn't sound like a big deal, until you're cooking and in a hurry and trying to close them while getting food out of the oven or whatnot.But given the chance, I would buy them again.
