Handles fit hand comfortably
Editorial Review:
Once you own a pair of tongs you'll never be able to get along without them. Grab corn on the cob or lobster from the pot, flip chicken in the pan or under the broiler, hold red peppers for roasting over your range, and the list goes on. In brushed stainless steel they will retain their good looks even while working hard.
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

I have owned and used these tongs for 1 year plus...:
Gorgeous, Heavy, but ultimately Fails to Perform. Locking mechanism is a nice feature but I do see where it could use improvement as attested to in prior reviews. Price to Performance ratio is a dismal dissapointment. I use my tongs as an extension of my hands, using these tongs is like wearing teflon mittens dipped in lard, they just have no grip. Bending the ends in provides a slight improvement in gripping power but it is too little and eventually they bend back. The high spring tension is actually... more info
Great product:
What you expect from All-Clad. Heavy duty stainless steel and easy to clean. I'm not a fan of most locking tongs, but this lock will not lock accidentally.
Worst I've ever used:
These are in a word, horrible. They simply do not work. The "teeth" are
flat (no curvature) to clamp/bite into food. You have to exert extra
force on the handle to keep food from slipping out of tongs. Judging
by the workmanship I'd say these were made overseas. Clearly not up
to All Clad's standard of craftmanship. I bought the Rosle brand to
replace All Clad's tongs, the Rosle is far superior. I use All Clad's
cookware but some of their tools leave much to be desired.
Not worth it!:
I'm an All-Clad fanatic. I have their pots and pans, their measuring cups, and most of my cooking utensils are All-Clad. All of them have exceeded my expectations in its quality, design, and utility, except this one. Thank goodness I didn't pay for them (I got this as a bonus gift to buying bunch of other All-Clad pots and pans) b/c unlike other All-Clads, they are NOT worth the price! The locking mechanism is not designed well -it takes a little more effort than my other tongs to lock and unlock during... more info
