Description

The OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is essential for any kitchen. It’s a workhorse, all-purpose knife for chopping, mincing, dicing and scooping. The soft handle is contoured for comfort and non-slip for a secure grip, even when wet. The sharp 8-inch blade is made from hardened Japanese stainless steel for strength and durability. To extend the life of your Knife, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry promptly. Sometimes overlooked as a valuable kitchen tool, tongs serve a variety of kitchen duties: tossing salads, flipping cutlets in a frying pan, snagging stubborn pickles from a jar, and more. These tongs are constructed of brushed stainless steel for easy cleaning and durability. A locking mechanism closes the tongs for easy storage, and provides a large loop for hanging. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure- absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

  • Perfect for household use
Size: 12-Inch
Whats not to like? These are the quintessential tongs for a home kitchen. Strong enough to take abuse, big enough to get the job done. Lock is easy to operate and keeps the tongs firmly closed when engaged. A bit of care is warranted if you’re using them with non-stick pans - my solution is to use cast iron pans. Cleanup with tongs is easy - just lock them and throw them in the dishwasher. ... show more

  • BEST TONGS I have ever used! -- Great functional design; Extremely well-built & Durable; Fantastic performance & Minimal upkeep!
Size: 12-Inch
These are the BEST tongs I have ever owned. I initially purchased the 12-inch size, but I liked it so much I then purchased the 9-inch and 16-inch size to complete the set. These are some of my favorite kitchen tools and so I highly recommend these tongs. I've had a lot of tongs that have warped, melted, broke, did a poor job grasping food, etc. Part of this reason was because I was too cheap to buy nice tongs. It took me a little while to bring myself to buy these more expensive OXO Good Grips Tongs, but I am really glad I did. THE DESIGN The construction of these is a brushed stainless steel frame with (removable) rubberized silicone inserts to give you more grip. These tongs can lock closed via a mechanism which is a pull-push lever located on the back. The portion of the tongs that makes contact with food is bare stainless steel. As I cook on stainless clad cookware that is safe to use stainless utensils with, this is exactly what I wanted (if you have non-stick cookware, certain coating types can be damaged by these as a heads-up.) If your cookware can safely support stainless utensils, THIS set with stainless steel heads will yield maximum performance & durability. THE BUILD QUALITY & PERFORMANCE Beyond everything else, these tongs are SUPER easy to grasp food with and do a fantastic job at preventing food from slipping. Even if that food is heavy or covered in [slippery] oil, these tongs maintain a stable grip. The finish is simple, consistent, and functionally beneficial. Brushed stainless hides scratch/usage/hard water markings, plus it increases stain/corrosion resistance. The silicone inserts are tough, heat-resistant, can be removed for cleaning or replacement, and firmly lock into place so they do not pop out randomly. The mechanism to lock these closed is oversized & easy to use (even with gloves/mitts on), strong as can be, and accessible (the hanging hole is convenient.) The spring is heavy duty and after years of almost daily usage it still shows no sign of fatigue. The hinge is also heavy-duty and has not developed excessive lateral play. In fact, despite heavy & frequent usage, my tongs still look and function like the day I bought them. OXO clearly spent a lot of time with the research & development because they made a product that is very functional and very durable. CLEANING These are low maintenance and do not need special cleaning care at all. I usually clean these in the dishwasher without removing the silicone inserts and they come out perfect every time. If there is a lot of caked-up food on them, I sometimes clean them with a metal polish called Bar Keeper's Friend (amazing stuff.) These tongs have held up like a champ to countless cleaning cycles & the use of cleaning chemicals/polishes. SIZES---WHICH SIZE??? I initially purchased the 12-inch size and it is the size I use the most. With that said, I LOVE the 16-inch for when I am doing something in which more distance is desirable, such as if I am turning bacon as 16 inches puts a nice distance between my hand & the scalding-hot popping grease. And while the 9-inch is the size I use the least, it is still great to have when I am making something in a smaller pot as that reduced form factor makes it a little more nimble. So while I think all three sizes are very useful, if you are only going to purchase one size, I recommend the 12-inch. SO THIS IS AN INVESTMENT OF A QUALITY KITCHEN TOOL THAT WILL LAST So if you are thinking, "hey, these cost more than many other tongs I have seen," I understand where you are coming from as I've been there myself. However, I highly recommend spending the few extra bucks on these OXO Good Grips as that small price premium gets you a product of exceptional quality: not only will these tongs last a very long time to offset the higher purchase price, but their good functional design makes using them more convenient (and therefore more enjoyable.) Convenience and enjoyment can encourage cooking more often, and when cooking more often one can save money over eating out, and arguably eat much healthier. So like other premium kitchen tools, I see these quality tongs as an investment. (PICTURE NOTE: The attached pictures show the 12-inch and 16-inch sizes, with various angles showing the different features & the sturdy build quality of these tongs.) ... show more

  • So I like grilling steaks...
Size: 16-Inch
...and my favorite utensil for grilling my inch thick USDA Prime NY Strips over mesquite chunk charcoal is a good solid pair of metal tongs. I love these, they're long enough so I can keep my hands out from directly over the coals, the rubber at the top of the grips provides heat insulation, the pull-ring lock mechanism is useful and overall these are of the same usability and extremely rugged and good quality of the other OXO gear I have both in my kitchen and in my camping gear. These are great, you should just hit "Buy Now"! ... show more

  • Sturdy, lasts for years!
Size: 12-Inch
This is the second one I’ve purchased. The first was years ago and I would still be using it but I knocked it onto the floor & snapped off the top (made of plastic). However, I bought another and the top is made of metal so no snapping off! Just the right size and made sturdy enough to last.

  • Strong, well made BBQ tongs
Size: 16-Inch
The oxo tongs work well. They grip and hold food strongly. My only improvement would be to coat the ends with silicone.

  • Great quality and look nice

  • Sturdy 12 inch tongs.
Size: 12-Inch
These OXO Tongs are sturdy. The 12 inch length allows for easy use near large pots and pans. The locking mechanism is strategically located at the end of the tongs making it easier to open if your hands are full. Cleans up easily and is dishwasher safe!
