Easily Melt
I try to minimize how long utensils like this come in contact with direct heat, but these melted even with me being very cautious.

I love these tongs. They hold up and are a great price. I’ve ended up buying multiple of them since I use them for so many things in the kitchen. (Note, I’m employed by Target)

Affordable and functional
These are easy to use and clean. I love that their dishwasher safe. The only thing is that the silicone on the handle has a habit of coming out. I’m able to push it back in but it’s not the best quality. Though for the cost I don’t mind

Cheap silicone falls off
The silicone parts at the end do not stay in the tong and constantly fall out as you are trying to pick up hot food which is not very safe. We had to throw these away very cheap. I am sticking with full metal from now on

Stained
These got stained pretty quick when I made a soup with curry powder, but I guess that’s to be expected since it’s a light color. I recommend just plain stainless steel or a darker silicone if you care about staining

Good quality at a low cost
Love these tongs due to the silicone tips. I feel confident using them in my grill is pits and pans so as not to scratch the bottom.

These tings are well made and work well when cooking or serving. This is my fourth pair to purchase.
