Troubleshooting
Tongs feeling loose or losing spring tension
Gently manually compress the handles together slightly to recalibrate the tension, ensuring the metal has not been bent by heavy weight.
Sticky residue on blades
Soak in hot soapy water for 5 minutes before placing in the dishwasher to remove stubborn food oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tongs are ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. No assembly is required. For maintenance, they are fully dishwasher safe; however, placing them in an upright utensil basket ensures a more thorough clean of the blade surface. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scouring pads, as these can create microscopic scratches where debris may stick. Store by hanging them on a utensil hook to avoid tension loss in the handles.
