Tongs
The versatility of tongs makes them one of the most useful tools in the kitchen. Perfect for manipulating all manner of foods, tongs offer a way to extend the hand of the chef. Two common types of tongs include pinching and scissor designs. Pinching tongs simply use a pinching action to move, turn, or lift food. Scissor style tongs are commonly used for salads with fork and spoon ends.
Tongs are available in a variety of materials including metal, nylon, and plastic with some featuring silicone ends or rubber handles. Tongs are ideal for the grill as they can easily turn chicken, ribs, or steaks quickly and efficiently.
