Tongs a Review - Grilling Tools
OXO 16 inch Spring Loaded Tongs |
Tongs are the tool I use the most when I BBQ. I rarely use a Spatula or Fork. It is important to get good quality tongs that you are comfortable with. I really enjoy My Oxo Good Grips 18 inch tongs.
They have a silicon grip so they do not get too hot, They are Spring loaded so they are easy to use even with my mild arthritis in my hands. I did recently acquire the below Bobby Flay Tongs on sale for about $6 originally 14.99. They seem well made with wood grips and are about 16 inches long. Sometimes you need 2 pair to avoid cross contamination of foods. I like my 2 pair to look very different and while My U shapped tongs work the spring loaded ones seem to be much better for me.

U shape Tongs Guy Fieri ones in the Middle |
Above are some u shaped Tongs the ones in the Middle are Guy Fieri, I purchased these in a pinch at Walgreens. They don't lock but they do have a clasp that holds them closed, of the 3 U shaped Tongs I own I like the Guy Fieri best. They are much closer together then the other 2 pairs and don't require as much strength to hold closed. They also seem to align better. I don't personally see a reason to buy non spring loaded tongs ever again. The other 2 pair were parts of sets and as the below review of grill tools states it is almost always better to buy each tool separately then to purchase a set.
