FAQs
What is the total length of the tweezers?
These tweezers measure exactly 140mm in length.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes, they are constructed from durable stainless steel and are dishwasher safe.
Can these be used for cooking over high heat?
While they are heat-resistant, they are designed primarily for plating and presentation rather than heavy-duty cooking or turning items in a hot pan.
What is the purpose of the 'cranked' design?
The cranked or offset design allows the handle to stay clear of the food, providing better visibility and preventing your hand from knocking into other ingredients on the plate.
Are these suitable for home use?
Absolutely, they are an excellent addition to any kitchen for home cooks who enjoy the art of plating and food presentation.
Troubleshooting
The tips are not meeting perfectly when squeezed.
Check for debris between the teeth; if clean, gently bend the arms slightly toward each other to realign.
Food items are slipping from the grasp.
Ensure the grippy teeth are free of grease and residue by washing thoroughly with dish soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for these tweezers; they are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the grip and alignment of the tips, avoid using them to pick up heavy or extremely hard objects that could bend the steel. While the tweezers are dishwasher safe, hand-washing with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the finish over time. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the stainless steel's luster.
