Product Information
Full details
The Joseph Joseph Elevate Tongs - Stainless Steel are designed for home cooks seeking to maintain a clean kitchen workspace during food preparation. Their primary benefit is the integrated tool rest, which prevents utensils from resting directly on countertops. A potential caveat is that the locking mechanism, while useful for storage, may require a gentle touch to operate smoothly. These tongs feature a heat-resistant silicone handle and a durable stainless steel body, making them a practical addition to any busy kitchen.

Troubleshooting
Tongs are difficult to lock or unlock.
Ensure the tongs are clean and free of food debris. Apply gentle, consistent pressure when operating the lock. If it remains stiff, a small amount of food-grade silicone lubricant on the mechanism might help, followed by thorough cleaning.
Silicone handle seems to be degrading or melting.
Verify that the tongs are not being used in contact with heat sources exceeding 270°C (520°F). Check for any damage to the silicone. If damage is present, consider replacing the tongs.
Food sticks to the stainless steel part of the tongs.
Ensure the stainless steel is adequately heated before adding food, especially when cooking delicate items. Proper oiling of the cooking surface and the food itself can also prevent sticking. Clean thoroughly after each use.
