Products We Use Tools By Mark / April 26, 2019 Share Tweet Pin Share Tongs are a necessity for almost every kitchen. Everything from moving things in a skillet to stirring pasta are easy tasks for quality kitchen tongs. Here at Flavorful Science we use one of these two almost every day. The first is a professional grade set of tongs with no added features. They are sturdy, work great and travel thru tanks and dishwashers without a fuss. Thanks to the modern web everyday consumers can have them in just a couple days. Stainless Steel Tongs Our favorite is the Edlund 16 inch heavy duty pair, which we prefer when grilling to keep your hands a safe distance from the flames.Edlund also has a 12 inch model.

You can find them in almost any department store and Amazon. We like the 12 inch pair. If you want a shorter pair too, grab the Oxo 9 inch ones. They are great for serving and working in small spaces. Oxo 12″ Tongs Oxo 9″ Tongs Silicone Tip Tongs We run and grab our Oxo Silicone tipped tongs when working with our non-stick cookware or when subtly is required. We usually stick with the Oxo 12 inch variety as they are the most versatile. As a side note, make sure you remove the silicone tips when cleaning. Strange things can grow in there over time if you do not. Oxo 12″ Silicone Tongs
