Hotec Premium Stainless Steel Locking Kitchen Tongs with Silicon Tips, Set of 2-9" and 12" Light Green

Okay--I accidentally got my Oxo tongs too close to the gas burner and melted the end. So, I decided to try ordering these. They work great and I love that there are two sizes! I should use the shorter one when I am near the gas burner so I have better control!

This set was exactly what we needed. The 2 sizes are perfect for our kitchen needs. The silicone pieces are sturdily attached.

Product appears to be good. WillNeed to use them awhile but expect them to work well.

(HOTEC Premium Stainless Steel Locking Kitchen Tongs with Silicon Tips, Set of 3-7", 9" and 12" (Grey) / $10 at the time of the review)Out of the box, this is a fairly good set of tongs for home use. The silicone ends are about as thick as you'd want them to be and their grip is good as there's no flex to the tips. Picking up individual pieces of food like broccoli or muffins is easy. And (using the medium-sized tongs) I was able to flip a decent sized steak without any issue. The locking/unlocking ring works just as it should. As for construction, it looks like the silicone tips are 'inserted' into the handles. I've included a close-up pic of where they connect. With a lot of use, the silicone tip could eventually bend off or fall out. Only time will tell. But overall, the quality of these are better than average, especially considering their low price.The sides of the tongs have color-matched silicone grips. It's helpful when holding/using them. On the smaller-sized ones, the there's less than an 1" of stainless steel exposed on the sides. But on the larger tong, there's over 3" of stainless steel exposed (pictured). Additionally, the silicone doesn't wrap around the frame of the tongs so, you still have to be careful when using these with ceramic cookware. You won't want to be resting them on the sides of your pans.So far they seem to be handling heat well. Since they're never sitting in or on the pan for any length time when I'm cooking, they should last a while. I haven't run them through the dishwasher. I usually hand wash most things only because it takes me a while to fill the dishwasher for use. I'll revisit this review as I use them more. For the price though, the quality of these was better than expected.

Very sturdy and well made. Comfortable handle and both sizes are what I frequently use. Love the color.

These are exactly what I needed to place food in my new Ninja Foodie, turn the food while cooking, ad take the food out when done. No risk of getting burned and the tongs were not affected by 500 degrees F.

A real surprise…bought a couple of these about 3 years ago but from another supplier and they were not as colorful or better quality as these that I just purchased and I really enjoy using them. Definitely worth the purchase…good price.

Good and sturdy, not flimsy at all
