Twelve inches of stainless steel between your hand and the heat, which is the reason to keep a long pair of tongs in the drawer: deep pots, a crowded pan and an open flame all become manageable when you are not reaching over them.
The arms are stainless steel with a polished finish, and the grips carry a wood-look surface that gives the pair a warmer look than bare metal. They lock closed, so they sit flat in a drawer or hang on a hook instead of springing open across the shelf.
Length: 12 in.
Material: stainless steel with wood-look grips.
Locking: yes, for storage.
Heat: temperature resistant.
Sturdy enough to turn a roast or lift a rack of ribs, and controlled enough for a delicate fillet of fish or tossing a salad. Wipes clean easily.
