Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for these tongs; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longest lifespan for the 18-8 stainless steel:
- Cleaning: Wash with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive steel wool pads which may scratch the finish.
- Drying: Although the material is rust-resistant, it is best practice to wipe the tongs dry with a cloth after washing rather than leaving them in standing water.
- Compatibility: These are intended for food handling. They are safe for use with cold or hot foods but should not be left sitting in acidic sauces for extended periods to maintain the pristine surface quality.
