FAQs

What material are these tongs made of?

The Weber 6317 tongs are constructed from high-quality stainless steel.

How long are the tongs?

The tongs measure approximately 405 mm (16.5 inches) in height.

Can I leave these tongs outside?

While made of stainless steel, it is recommended to store them in a dry place or use the hanging loop indoors or under cover to prolong their life and prevent potential weathering.

What is the purpose of the flatter tips?

The flatter tips are designed to grip food more securely without crushing or deforming it, which is ideal for delicate items like fish or vegetables.

How does the locking mechanism work?

The redesigned locking mechanism allows you to slide it to keep the tongs securely closed for storage. Slide it to release them for use.

Are these tongs suitable for non-barbecue use?

While primarily designed for barbecue use due to their size and material, they can be used for other general kitchen tasks requiring sturdy tongs, though they might be larger than typical kitchen tongs.

What is the weight of the tongs?

The tongs weigh approximately 2 kg.

Troubleshooting

Locking mechanism is stiff or not engaging

Ensure the tongs are fully closed before attempting to lock. Clean any debris from the locking area with a damp cloth. If stiffness persists, try a small amount of food-grade lubricant on the mechanism.

Food slips from the tongs

Ensure the flatter tips are properly positioned under the food. For smaller items, try gripping closer to the center of the food item. The serrated edges on some tongs can also help with grip, but these have flatter tips designed for less deformation.

Tongs feel heavy during use

This is a characteristic of the robust stainless steel construction. For extended use, take breaks or consider using lighter utensils for less demanding tasks.

Discoloration on stainless steel

This is often due to mineral deposits from water or heat. Wash with a mild detergent and water, or use a stainless steel cleaner following product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These tongs require no setup. They are ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: While branded by Weber, these tongs are a versatile tool compatible with any grill or outdoor cooking setup. Their primary function is to grip and manipulate food items.

Care: For best results and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: The tongs are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack. Alternatively, they can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
  2. Storage: Utilize the built-in hanging loop for easy storage on a grill tool rack or hook. Alternatively, engage the locking mechanism to store them compactly in a drawer.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the locking mechanism and hanging loop to ensure they are functioning correctly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as this can scratch the stainless steel surface.
