A bit short
I also have the 12" OXO tongs with metal heads, which are actually a bit long for me to handle with my small hands. Since I'm afraid of the metal scratching my nonstick pans, I thought these would be perfect. But they're actually a bit short for using in a pot of hot liquid, so the nylon head isn't even necessary for what I wanted them for. The metal/nylon heads should be reversed IMO, and I guess I'm Goldilocks, thinking a 10-11" set would be perfect. Easy to use though, and OXO products are typically quality.

Long lasting use
These tongs work great for cooking chicken. They are easy to clean and have lasted for a few years now. I would definitely recommend these tongs to anyone who likes to cook with ceramic cookware. They’re plastic on the end so they won’t damage your ceramic pans.

Don’t leave these on a hot surface
Good tongs that work well to grip things. One downside compared to steel tongs is that a part of the tongs melted when I left them in the pan on accident.

Very comfortable and safe to hold OXO tongs
I bought these OXO tongs years ago and they have held up perfectly. They have nylon on the handles and that makes it easy to keep a safe, firm grip on them and it makes them comfortable to hold.

5 stars all around!
These OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Tongs are perfect! The nylon heads are gentle on my nonstick pans, and the grip feels really comfortable in my hand. They lock easily for storage and feel super sturdy. Great quality, easy to clean, and just the right size for everyday cooking!

Lesser quality OXO line, not Good Grips
Don’t confuse these with the OXO Good Grips tongs like I did. I was trying to replace an old pair that I really did like and got these by mistake. These are a different line of OXO called Soft Works. They are clearly a lesser line. They do not grip as well, have plastic at the top, and the metal is a lesser quality and is sharp. Also, the rubber on the side does not have an indentation, which is nice for gripping. The plastic also started to melt off on these after two uses.

Amazing grip, eqsy to handle
I Love My Tongs, I use rhem for my Ribs, rhey are very strong and durable, they grab the meat and I am able to flip it with ease. They are designed to lift large foods, and even the smallest foods. My granddaughters use them to grab their nuggets from the air fryer. And if u need two hands to flip food, they lock to hold the food so it doesnt slip. Plus you can hang them by the lock ring..I give them a 10/10 oh olus, rhey are easy to clean, and dishwasher safe.

Perfect Tongs for Everyday Cooking!
These OXO 9-inch tongs are an absolute kitchen essential! The nylon heads are super gentle on my nonstick pans, and the grip feels very comfortable and secure in my hand. I love the locking mechanism—it makes storage so easy. They’re the perfect length for flipping food without getting too close to the heat, and they feel really sturdy, not flimsy at all. Whether I'm tossing salad, turning chicken, or serving pasta, these tongs do it all. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a reliable, well-made tool in the kitchen!

Just What's Needed
I've been wanting this style tongs and finally got around to looking. These are a nice size. I mainly want them for using with salad. I like the lock, which is easy to use, so it won't take up excess space in the drawer.

My go to cooking utensil
These tongs are my go to cooking utensil! I love them! I use them for flipping tortillas, bacon, sausage and more. They are perfect for cooking pasta too. I love that they don’t scratch my pots and pans and can be used with heat. I use they pretty much everyday and they are still in great condition. I highly recommend these. I myself will soon be buying another pair, most likely the 12” because it would be nice for them to be a little longer.

Love these tongs!
Love these oxo tongs. I like that they are metal But have the oxo grip on the handles.l, and tong ends. It keeps the handles from slipping, makes them comfortable, and keeps them from getting hot. It keeps the food from sticking to the ends. These works great and are durable and last a while!

Great tongs
We have had these tongs for years and they’re still in great shape! We use them literally daily when cooking/baking. They’re easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The grip works very well

Feel cheap
Fine tongs, but the plunger on the bottom to release/open the tongs is very flimsy. The tong also don’t have a rest on them so you can’t set them down on the counter. I have a pair of farberware tongs that are more sturdy, have a rest, and have a softer silicon head that are much easier to use, especially one handed.
