Sur La Table Silicone-Tipped Stainless Steel Mini Locking Tongs, 7"

I expected small, but did not expect the cheap plastic and flimsy construction. Even the color was unattractive.

I stumbled upon this mini tong and purchased it. I find that EVERYDAY I use this while cooking. It's a fabulous little item.....and.....I've purchased one for all my girlfriends and everyone is delighted!

The description of this item says, "Silicone tips are safe for use..." and it also says, "Nylon tips are safe for use..." They are indeed nylon tipped, not the promised silicone-tipped listed in the title.

You may also want to be aware that the description lists them as being safe to 350F as well as 500F.

They're tiny, as expected, but I never would have purchased them had I realized they were nylon with a safe-to-use limit ranging 150 degrees.

This sort of listing from Sur La Table is unexpected and disappointing.

I have 5 of these in all different colors. Though not as sturdy as my All-Clad tongs, they are light and easy to use especially for little fingers to serve themselves.

None of them are rusty and all are in perfect working condition after 2 yrs. Love them.

I have bought 5-6 of these tongs and love the size and usefulness but the spring inside rusts and the brad that holds them together has fallen out on two of them.

These work well if you buy them for yourself, but I really felt good about making up a gift bag, hanging them from the handle, with a pasta dish inside, and a Spiralizer, a hot pad holder, an oven mitt and/or a kitchen towel. The tongs mode it just adorable !

Such a little thing and so useful and handy.
I am so glad I have one of these little tongs again in my kitchen

Totally love these buying a second pair-very handy!

These mini tongs are fantastic! They work great and are the perfect size to use for small items in small serving containers. The colors are wonderful also. Great product.

Tongs are hands down my favorite kitchen gadget to cook with. I have about 5 of these in my kitchen and use them for both cooking and serving- serving salad, flipping chicken, sautéing veggies you name it, I use my tongs for. The locking mechanism works great and they wash up wonderfully in the dishwasher.

I am so glad I purchased these mini tongs. They are the perfect size for serving all kinds of food. I use them all the time. I actually purchased a second set. If you entertain a lot like I do I highly recommend these.

Whenever we have a meal after a funeral we need smaller tongs for some of the food items. These tongs are just what we needed!

Great little tongs and love that they’re safe to use with Teflon surfaces.

These are shorter tongs useful for smaller items, best of all, can be placed in Dishwashet.

We love these. They hold firmly and are a handy size.

Though I enjoy the smaller size, my upper hand seems to always (and I do mean always) push the lock at the top in which makea the jaws not open as wide. It is quite aggrevating. Other than this particular problm, the quality is great.

These mini thongs are indeed mini, but the quality is not as nice as the larger ones. I ordered four but will return three of them and buy the larger thongs.

I have a pair of Kitchen-Aid all metal tongs and this pair. I've had the KA for longer, and it's in perfect shape, no rust or corrosion, spring is clean and intact.

The spring on this pair just completely rusted/corroded and fell apart after a year leaving it unusable.

Recommend spending a bit more to get something of a higher quality.
