Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads
These tongs are handy for flipping a chicken breast, for turning shrimp in the pan, pulling an open-faced tuna melt sandwich out from under the broiler and so on. Thanks to their nylon ends they can be safely used with non-stick cookware!
Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won?t scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads Reviews
The plastic areas both keep the tongs cool while you hold them and protects non-stick pans. Unfortunately, I have a lot of old, useless gadgets that will have to wear out before I replace them with Oxo. This set of tongs makes so much sense. I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Oxo products, and I'm starting to wish I were starting from a blank slate.
The tongs are really sturdy and the nylon heads don't destroy your teflon as metal ones tend to. They also stand up to a lot of heat so they don't melt. Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads.
This kitchen tool is what I really needed for the few non-stick pans that I use (other than my cast iron skillets). The nylon scalloped tips are perfect for all the items that I cook in teflon or silverstone pans. I have to keep most of my other tongs hanging half out of a utensil crock. Silicone tips could take the heat, but they are not nearly as sturdy. What I like best about this too is the fact that it locks closed, which makes it easy to store in a drawer. Other reviewers complain that nylon cannot take high heat, but then, most non-stick pans can't either. I would find it very difficult to pick up large items with something as soft as silicone.
I like them far better than a pair of 12" metal All Clad tongs that I own. These OXO tongs have a great grip (maybe it's the nylon tips). The length is perfect.
Otherwise I've been very impressed with OXO products. I liked the nylon tips for use on nonstick cookware. However, I think the nylon tips are too thick, making it hard to pick up pork chops or anything else using just the tongs in one hand. This is a little disappointing. These tongs work pretty well. I think I will try the thinner tipped silicone tongs next.
