Amazon.com Review

Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs serve a variety of kitchen duties: tossing salads, flipping cutlets in a frying pan, snagging stubborn pickles from a jar, and more. These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

My husband says these tongs are the best we have. He is pretty hard on tongs due to all the grilling he does. He grills pork loin roasts (each roast is a quarter of a loin, so 2-3 lb ea) and needs something reliable for picking them up and turning them over.

best tongs I've owned, and I've owned several. Might consider the nylon tippped ones as the non-stick pans scratch pretty easily.

The coolest thing about these tongs is the locking bit. Now I can put my tongs in a drawer next to the stove and still get the drawer open.

In the old days, if the tongs got put in the drawer, they'd magically open up during the night waiting for the next time I urgently needed to open that drawer to get a knife... or some tongs. This usually occurred when the bacon had begun to burn. Yanking on the end of the drawer with the fire alarm screaming and my bacon turning to ash is not the best way to start my morning. It leads to expletives and bent tongs.

The tongs locker is the answer. These actually belong to my son, but I'm hiding them when he gets his own house.

These tongs are the best on the market. They seem very well-made and feel very natural in the hand.
