Kitchen tongs

Kitchen tongs – a versatile tool for different culinary tasks

What is the use of kitchen tongs?

Kitchen tongs are tools for picking up, flipping or transferring food from the pan or grill to the plate. The handles are used to push the two tongs together, applying pressure that will grip onto an object.

What are the types of kitchen tongs?

Tongs are designed to keep hands safe from heat and away from food when serving and cooking. There are several types of tongs that reflect their possible uses, some of which are listed below.

1. Salad Tongs: Traditionally, salads are mixed and served with a salad spoon and a spork. However, another way to serve the salad on plates is to use salad tongs which are particularly useful if your salad consists of... salad mainly. They look great during garden BBQ.
2. Pasta Tongs: Pasta tongs, often known as spaghetti tongs, have long, tooth-like ends that make it simple to grasp, toss, and plate sticky noodles. You can put them at your pasta buffet so that guests can effortlessly serve themselves substantial servings of any pasta variety. Another common use of pasta tongs is to easily toss and serve salads.
3. Plating Tweezers: Plating tweezers, also known as precision tongs, are tongs with a tweezer-like design that are used for precisely plating delicate garnishes and meals. They have either straight, curved, or offset ends made of stainless steel to provide users more control over delicate meals and tricky angles.
4. Utility Tongs: Utility tongs are all-purpose tongs that can be used as serving tongs at your buffet line or salad bar or as cooking tongs in the kitchen. With these tongs, you can easily handle vegetables like asparagus, turn meats on the burner, and remove meals from the deep fryer.
5. BBQ Tongs: Barbecue tongs have longer reins to shield users from the grill's hot flames while grasping and flipping meats, fish, and vegetables. While the handles are often coated in a non-heat-conducting material to protect a user's hands, the arms are typically made of stainless steel to endure the intense heat of grills and smokers.
