Kitchen tongs

The kitchen tongs grip, turn and plate food with precision, from the grill to the serving dish. Sturdy and easy to handle, they make a practical alternative to fork and spatula for moving meat, vegetables or pasta without burning your fingers. The kitchen tongs range includes stainless steel and specialised models by Paderno, Lacor and Louis Tellier, suited to professional kitchens and to demanding home use alike.

Choosing the right kitchen tongs

Service tongs or specialised tongs?

Versatile service tongs with serrated jaws are suited to turning meat and vegetables or plating a dish. Specialised tongs, for snails, spaghetti, ice cubes or chips, provide a dedicated grip that makes precise actions and neat plating easier in the dining room.

What length and locking system?

Long tongs keep your hand away from the heat source, useful at the grill or fryer; short tongs offer more precision for plating. A locking mechanism makes storage easier and saves space in a busy kitchen drawer.

Which material for hygiene?

One-piece stainless steel is easy to clean, dishwasher-safe and withstands intensive catering use. Silicone-tipped tongs protect non-stick coatings and delicate surfaces; check the silicone's heat resistance against the stated temperature.
