highly recommended

These tongs are handy for flipping a chicken breast, for turning shrimp in the pan, pulling an open-faced tuna melt sandwich out from under the broiler and so on. Thanks to their nylon ends they can be safely used with non-stick cookware!

Indispensable kitchen helper

It's amazing what a simple kitchen gadget can do when it comes to simplifying daily domestic bliss, I no longer have to play chasing games with the food escaping flat wooden spoons as if in a roller rink. This is my second pair of kitchen tongs, first being made of cheap metal with scratchy parts that I don't use ever unless this one is dirty or missing and I am definitely planning on getting more, the 12 inch looks great for when I'm digging in big pots and pans since this is more of a stove top tong for use in shallower cooking vessels. These have a little rubber loop at the end that opens the tongs for use when pushed and keeps them closed when pulled; I can't even admit how many times I was so wrapped up in my cooking with all my hands busy that I pulled that thing with my teeth, and still got it closed without hurting myself, now I don't recommend doing that but it just shows how in sync this tool becomes with the user.

Oxo is a pretty reliable brand; these are truly wonderful and one can't beat the price! I've been using this pair since April and they are always helping me out, whether its turning over meats and anything I'm grilling or tossing stuff in marinades, lifting bacon or anything cooking in hot liquid or oil safely and best of all the plastic tips are large and rounded and don't scratch the pans I care about. These are pretty agile as well; the tips allow for me to reach anything I need precisely without damaging the food and the 9 inch length makes them feel like an extension of my own hand and not a cumbersome tool. These are fantastic and everyone can find uses in their kitchen and home with these.

Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads

The tongs are really sturdy and the nylon heads don't destroy your teflon as metal ones tend to. They also stand up to a lot of heat so they don't melt.

Super tongs!

These OXO tongs have a great grip (maybe it's the nylon tips). The length is perfect. I like them far better than a pair of 12" metal All Clad tongs that I own.

Perfect for non-stick pans

This kitchen tool is what I really needed for the few non-stick pans that I use (other than my cast iron skillets).

The nylon scalloped tips are perfect for all the items that I cook in teflon or silverstone pans. Other reviewers complain that nylon cannot take high heat, but then, most non-stick pans can't either. Silicone tips could take the heat, but they are not nearly as sturdy. I would find it very difficult to pick up large items with something as soft as silicone.

What I like best about this too is the fact that it locks closed, which makes it easy to store in a drawer. I have to keep most of my other tongs hanging half out of a utensil crock.

Good, but. . .

These tongs work pretty well. I liked the nylon tips for use on nonstick cookware. However, I think the nylon tips are too thick, making it hard to pick up pork chops or anything else using just the tongs in one hand. This is a little disappointing. I think I will try the thinner tipped silicone tongs next. Otherwise I've been very impressed with OXO products.
