    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

    Not great.

    The Room Essentials brand often has super affordable stuff that’s decent quality, but these tongs are awful. The hard plastic got all chipped and scratched after a couple of uses, and now it’s impossible to clean. We used turmeric in a recipe recently and the tongs are permanently stained, even after running them through the dishwasher and also hand washing them. I hate that food gets into the scratches and scrapes on the hard plastic and won’t come out. I’ll be buying all metal or silicone tongs to replace these.

    Ok tongs, beware of nylon

    These tongs are decent, they’re just absolutely NOT safe for high heat. I made the mistake of not looking closely at the materials. Go for silicone tipped tongs instead, nylon is not worth is if you’re using these for anything hot!
