FAQs
Can I use these tongs for large loose-leaf infuser bags?
Yes, the wide design of the tongs is compatible with most standard and large-sized infuser bags.
Will the metal scratch my ceramic mugs?
The edges of the Judge Tea Bag Tongs are designed to be smooth, but always apply pressure gently to avoid scuffing delicate ceramic glazes.
Are these tongs suitable for children to use?
While easy to operate, they should be used with caution by children as they are intended for handling very hot liquids.
Can I use these to pick up other items?
While designed for teabags, they can be used for small, light items like garnish or thin lemon slices, though they are not designed for heavy-duty kitchen work.
Is it safe to leave the tongs in the boiling water?
It is not recommended to leave the tongs submerged in boiling water for extended periods, as the handles may become hot to the touch.
Troubleshooting
Tongs not gripping teabag firmly
Ensure the hinge mechanism is clear of debris or tea residue; rinse thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
Visible water spots after washing
Wipe the tongs with a soft, dry cloth immediately after the dishwasher cycle to maintain the stainless steel finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

They are compatible with all standard-sized tea bags, including pyramid-style and large loose-leaf infuser bags.

While the device is dishwasher safe, occasional hand washing can help maintain the polished finish. Store them in a cutlery organizer with other tongs or large utensils for easy access.
