All-Clad Specialty Stainless Steel Kitchen Gadgets Locking Tongs Kitchen Tools, Kitchen Hacks Silver

Beautiful, but made in Chi-nyna.Quality item.

All clad never steers me wrong. These are great and high quality. Heavy, easy to lock and unlock, and perfectly balanced. Love them.

Bigger than I thought they'd be and a tad on the heavy side. That's the offset to high-grade stainless steel. I'll buy the smaller version. If you want tongs where dirt can't hide, these are perfect.

Beautiful, sturdy, high quality, and easy to use! Don’t know what else there is to say!☺️

I bought these tongs in July 2024. I generally love all-clad products. I really like their cooking utensils and their skillets etc. but these tongs are really impossible to use. You have to have so much strength in your hand to open them or close them and I just hate them!

Forgot these were All-Clad until I was reviewing my recent orders. Not impressed with craftsmanship, especially the locking mechanism. I’m used to the simple pull up function of my previous tongs, that allowed me to lock and unlock with one hand, but you can’t do that with these. The screw is small, on the side and doesn’t glide easily. You need two hands to luck and unlock. No thanks.

Tongs to me are like American chopsticks, but of course far easier to use. It is the most often used cooking utensil for me, regardless of if I am cooking in the kitchen, grilling, smoking, etc.The ability to grab small and large items, serve pasta, arrange items, turn things, mix, etc., is just priceless.As a welcome gift or to help someone starting to cook I almost always buy them All Clad tongs. Once they use it and understand the functionality they become hooked.The one drawback of the All Clad tongs is sometimes the lock at the hinge engages when you don't want it to engage, but the shape, quality, and function of these tongs are excellent.Tongs and spatula are my most used utensils and if I go traveling and plan on doing some cooking or grilling, these tongs are always packed to go with me. It is pretty funny how many places don't have or don't use tongs. I'm a food network fan and after seeing most of them using tongs I tried it out and never looked back.

For appearance and materials, I would give this item five stars. It is a bit iffy when handling heavier food, as alluded to by some of the other reviewers. Still, I like the tongs. They are quite the right choice for serving to guests due to their weight and appearance. If you really want to be able to pick up something heavy and slippery, like a chicken breast, you might also want to get an inexpensive set of tongs.
