FAQs
Are these tongs dishwasher safe?
While durable, we recommend hand washing to maintain the smooth performance of the locking mechanism.
What is the primary benefit of the 32 cm size?
The 32 cm length is specifically designed to keep your hands at a safe distance from high-heat surfaces like grills and large frying pans.
Can these be used with non-stick cookware?
This model is constructed of high-quality materials, but always exercise caution to avoid scratching delicate non-stick coatings; ensure you are using the correct variant if you require silicone-tipped models.
How do I lock the tongs for storage?
Simply pull the integrated loop at the end of the handle while the arms are compressed to engage the locking mechanism.
Is the locking pull mechanism difficult to operate?
No, it is designed for one-handed operation, allowing you to open or close the tongs with a quick pull or push.
Troubleshooting
The locking mechanism feels stiff or stuck
Soak the hinge area in warm, soapy water to remove dried food residue, then rinse and dry thoroughly. A drop of food-safe mineral oil can also restore smooth movement.
The tongs do not spring open automatically
Check the hinge for any bent components or debris. Ensure the locking pull is fully in the 'open' position before attempting to use the spring action.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tongs are ready to use straight out of the box with no assembly required. For daily maintenance, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the finish and the integrity of the locking spring. While many stainless steel kitchen tools are dishwasher safe, avoiding high-heat dishwasher cycles can extend the life of the locking mechanism. To ensure the locking pull remains smooth, periodically check for any food debris buildup near the hinge. Store by using the integrated loop on a magnetic strip or wall hook to keep the tongs within reach while protecting the tips.
