FAQs
Are these tongs dishwasher safe?
While durable, we recommend hand washing to maintain the longevity of the soft-grip handle finish.
Can I use these on non-stick pans?
Yes, the smooth edges of the plates are generally safe, but always be careful not to scrape the base of non-stick surfaces aggressively.
What is the warranty period?
This product comes with a five-year guarantee, covering manufacturing defects.
What material are the tongs made of?
They are constructed from high-quality, heavy-duty stainless steel designed for heat resistance.
How do I unlock the tongs?
Apply light pressure to the handles and release the locking clasp located at the rear of the tong arms.
Troubleshooting
Locking mechanism feels stiff or sticks.
Check the pivot point for food debris and rinse under warm water. A drop of food-safe mineral oil can also help lubricate the hinge.
Tongs lose tension.
Ensure the tension spring hasn't become dislodged from the handle channel. If it remains loose after inspection, the tongs may need to be replaced under the warranty.

- Soft-grip panels minimize hand fatigue during extended use
- Space-efficient design with an integrated locking mechanism
- Convenient storage options via hanging loop

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tongs are ready to use right out of the box. To engage the locking mechanism, hold the handles together and slide or toggle the locking pin into the 'closed' position. For maintenance, while the tongs are built for heavy-duty use, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the soft-grip panels. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the metal plates. Ensure the tongs are completely dry before locking them for storage to prevent moisture buildup in the hinge.
