Hotec Premium Stainless Steel Locking Kitchen Tongs with Silicon Tips, Set of 3-7", 9" and 12" multicolor

These stainless steel tongs feel good quality. They are sturdy, and the silicon tips' quality makes it easy to clean. There are plenty of colors to choose from, most have 2 sizes, work well with cold and super hot food (right off the oven or with very hot oil). easy to Highly recommended! Its size and easy grip make it easy to pick up, preventing it from slipping out of your hands.

So these i really love and the price was amazing!! Love the different sizes and how they lock!!! This color coordinates in my kitchen as well!!! And I have put in dishwasher and they came out clean!! I think that these are the best quality I have owned and strong enough for any type of cooking!!

I bought these to use specifically to put items into and retrieve out of my air fryer, and so far I have not been disappointed. In fact, I quite enjoy using them and their un/locking device. I hope they last well. I usually hand wash & rinse off the tips after use.

(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.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased these tongs, and I must say, they are fantastic! Right from the start, it was clear that these tongs are built to last. The overall construction feels incredibly sturdy, giving me confidence that they can handle a variety of cooking tasks without any issues. One of the standout features is the silicone grip, which provides a comfortable and secure hold.Another thoughtful detail is the silicone tips. As a family, we’ve become increasingly conscious of the potential risks of microplastics in our food, so having silicone tips is a big plus for us. The best part is that the silicone tips are securely attached to the metal frame, unlike some other tongs I’ve owned where the tips have a tendency to slide or even fall off after repeated use. This added durability is definitely something I appreciate.When it comes to functionality, the silicone tips are solid but with just enough flexibility at the very tip to make picking up thin or delicate food items easy. The minimal flexibility in the tips ensures that I have control over whatever I’m picking up, without worrying about the tongs bending or losing grip.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. The combination of sturdiness, a comfortable silicone grip, secure silicone tips, and reliable performance make these tongs a must-have kitchen tool. They’re perfect for anyone who wants a durable, safe, and easy-to-use pair of tongs. Highly recommended!

Great pinchers! All three sizes work great and have good rubbers at the end so it is easy to grab food with them. They aren't stiff so opening and closing them is fairly easy.

Very sturdy so far! We have used and washed them a few times and they have worked perfectly. They have been washed in the dishwasher and show no signs of staining at this time. They open and close with ease and grip well. The colors were as expected and match another set we bought. Time will tell if they last, but at this time we are happy with our purchase and would recommend them.

Very nice set of tongs, well made and very useful. Great product at a great price.
