Food Tongs

Food Tongs for Cooking, Serving & BBQs:

Food tongs are one of the most versatile kitchen utensils, and this collection covers styles for everyday cooking, serving, grilling, salads, toast, fermentation and more precise food handling. The range includes stainless steel, nylon-head and silicone tongs in compact, standard and extra-long sizes, with brands such as Avanti, Cuisipro, OXO Good Grips, Di Antonio, Weber, Kilner, Global, Taylors, Wiltshire and Joseph Joseph.

Stainless Steel & Locking Kitchen Tongs:

Stainless steel tongs make up a large part of the collection, with sizes ranging from mini 15.5–18cm designs through to long 40.6cm options. Many styles include locking mechanisms for more compact storage, while selected barbecue tongs add hanging loops or longer handles for working around grills.

There are also specialist stainless steel options, including polished salad tongs for table service, sandwich and steak tongs, ice tongs and Global 30cm utility tongs made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel with the brand’s characteristic dimpled handle.

Silicone & Nylon Tongs for Non-Stick Cookware:

For cookware where a gentler contact surface is useful, the range includes silicone and nylon-head kitchen tongs. OXO Good Grips offers a two-piece set with 9-inch and 12-inch stainless steel tongs fitted with heat-resistant nylon heads, while Cuisipro, Avanti, Taylors and Food Guru also feature non-stick or silicone-ended designs.

BBQ, Serving & Specialist Tongs:

The collection extends beyond general cooking tongs. Weber grill tongs are designed for handling foods such as steaks and vegetables on the barbecue, while mini tongs suit smaller serving tasks. Di Antonio toast tongs measure 200mm and include a magnet for attaching them to a toaster, and Kilner fermentation tongs provide a dedicated option for handling fermented foods.

Choosing the Right Food Tongs:

Choose shorter or mini tongs for serving and smaller foods, standard 23–30cm tongs for general kitchen use, and longer styles when extra reach is useful around a barbecue or hot cookware. For non-stick pans, consider silicone or nylon heads, while stainless steel designs suit shoppers looking for an all-metal kitchen or serving utensil.
