Customer Reviews of Messermeister Locking Tongs 12-in.
Customer Rating:   Summary: Pretty much a limited use kitchen tongs Comment: The main reason I purchased these silicone tipped kitchen tongs are for safely removing my ceramic ramekins from a Bain Marie bath. That they do well as well as for anytime I want to move something hot without scratching something. The working ends are covered with a thick layer of silicone. But because the tips are not scalloped and are not very cupped (like my Edlunds'), the working ends are not efficient for picking up or grasping cooked food. And the tong lock is too loose: it does not take much to open these tongs which is annoying since the tongs keep opening up in my storage crock. Unlike nylon tipped tongs, I do not expect these silicone ends to fray with use like nylon. I've owned and used Ecko and Calphalon nylon spatulas which are "safe" for non-stick cooking surfaces. But the heated ends of both spatulas began melting and fraying with use. I'm not interested in introducing frayed nylon in my diet. PROS: Great non-slip silicone working ends for removing ramekins from a Bain Marie. Is heat resistant and should not melt or fray like nylon CONS: The lock opens too easily and the working ends do not grip food efficiently and effectively.

More Reviews The Messermeister locking tongs are made of high-quality steel and heat-resistant silicone tips (to 420 degrees). The spring action is solid, and the U-lock is the strongest in the industry. 
Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Taps If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area. Messermeister Locking Tongs 12-in.
Kitchen tips -> Cooking sweet corn Do not add salt to the water when cooking sweet corn because the salt will toughen the corn. Add a little sugar to the water to boost the flavor. |
