Product Review

Essential for any professional or home chef, this distinctly-styled locking tong by All-Clad will become a favorite in the kitchen. It is made of high quality 18/10 stainless steel, with a polished finish, and has a convenient hanging eyelet for storage on a hook or peg. The handle is designed to provide a firm, secure grip and prevent fatigue with a sculpted thumb groove, and the jaws lock shut when not in use. The ends are scalloped to provide a strong, wide, non-damaging grip.

Producing some of the finest cookware in the nation, All-Clad has been featured in many high class and gourmet restaurants for its superior performance and aesthetically designed pieces crafted from American artists using the finest metals. A firm believer in quality over convenience, All-Clad's metals are formulated and bonded with cooking performance in mind, and are combined with stunning designs to provide you with the best cooking experience possible.

Amazon.com Review

Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen accessories, and that's welcome news to serious and professional cooks. These 12-inch tongs are a perfect example of the tools' professional-grade quality. They're made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel that is polished to a mirror finish. Their handles are slightly rounded for comfort and the heads are scalloped for a firm grip. For storage, the tongs lock tightly. All-Clad tools are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This is the perfect tool for moving and turning over items (such as meats) because you get better grip and leverage than you would using a spatula. I also use it for manipulating items in large bowls when I'm marinating, coating, etc. The "locking" feature helps save space when storing in my drawer. The only drawback I've found with the relatively "flat" ends of this tong is that with some items, especially slippery things like raw chicken thighs, it's hard to get a good grip. So I wish they would also come out with a version which has more rounded ends for better grip capability.

These All-Clad 12-Inch Locking Tongs are great. I have been using Amco locking tongs (8-in., 12-in., 14-in. sizes), but I like this 18/10 gauge stainless steel better than their 18/8 gauge. I use the lock mechanism when leaving them in a sink, setting them beside the range, drip drying them in the dish drainer, and storing them in a drawer. I use the tongs everyday for almost any kind of cooking, except for when I use a nonstick pan. Then I use Calphalon nylon tongs. I'm glad All-Clad is making utensils now.

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Locking Tongs (Kitchen)
These are really quite beautiful and well made tongs. The finish and weight are first rate. The problem is, at least on the set that I bought, that the spring rate is too high. I found them fatiguing after a very short period of use, and it's not as though I lack hand strength.

In contrast, I recently bought a set of the Oxo tongs, and they are much, much more usable. Not quite as nicely finished, but they also lock and are sprung much better. I think they were a bit less expensive as well.
