The Silicone Flexible Tongs from OXO combine the strength of stainless steel with the advantages of silicone. The silicone outer layer, which is heat resistant to 600 degrees F and safe for nonstick cookware, is bonded to a flexible stainless steel core for stability and ease of use. The tongs have a flat head shape with thin, flexible edges that glide easily beneath food to lift and turn delicate dishes like fish, asparagus, scallops, and more. The straight front edge is also great for deglazing, and the soft, non-slip handles provide a secure and comfortable grip. The tongs measure 13 inches long and lock closed for storage. Dishwasher safe.
