Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for these tongs; they are ready for immediate use. They are fully compatible with all cookware surfaces, including stainless steel, cast iron, and non-stick ceramic coatings. To ensure longevity, always hand-wash the tongs with warm soapy water and dry them thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Avoid soaking them in water for long periods, as this can cause the wood to warp or split. Occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil can help maintain the wood and keep it from drying out.
