Product Description
Product Description
A kitchen essential, a good pair of tongs will see you through the toughest cooking tasks while protecting your busy hands from the heat of the oven or stovetop. The OXO Good Grips 9-inch Tongs with Nylon Heads are constructed with sturdy, high-heat resistant nylon, so they’ll stand up to hot grills while being safe for your non-stick skillets. Our Tongs feature scalloped edges for a secure grip whether you're rotating thin asparagus or flipping a thick steak. The handles provide a non-slip grip and absorb pressure so you can grip, toss, turn and flip with comfort and control. The Tongs lock closed for compact storage when hanging or in a drawer. The 9-in/22.5 cm size fits comfortably in the hand. Dishwasher safe. Also available in 12-inch size.
Amazon.com
Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads wont scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025Size: 9-Inch TongsVerified PurchaseA Review of OXO Tongs"
These OXO tongs are a sturdy and well-designed kitchen essential. Their compact size makes them perfect for handling smaller foods with precision, while the non-slip grip ensures comfort and control. The locking mechanism works smoothly for easy storage. Though smaller than standard tongs, they’re ideal for tasks like flipping bacon or serving salads or grilling. Good value for money, nice weight and thickness. Overall, a reliable and high-quality tool for any kitchen.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2025Size: 9-Inch TongsVerified PurchaseBY FAR the BEST tongs I have ever used!!!! I have bought them 3 times! Once you use these, you will never go back!!! They also make tongs without the silicone tips if you are deep frying, but for every other application, these are the ones you need!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025Size: 9 and 12 Inch Tong BundleVerified PurchaseThese tongs with the nylon ends are by far the best I've found many have silicone on the ends and don't grip well these are great and work with stainless and the nonstick cook ware. I'd definitely purchase again, and would recommend to friends, family and to you
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025Size: 9 and 12 Inch Tong BundleVerified PurchaseThis is the second set I’ve purchased and not to replace the previous set which is well over 15 yrs old but to add to our utensil collection. The new pair seem to be the same great quality as our well loved ones. Very happy! If you need tongs look no more. Buy these!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025Size: 9-Inch TongsVerified PurchaseThe only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the Nylon heads are hard, so don't always grasp things as well as the silicone ones I have.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Size: 9 and 12 Inch Tong BundleVerified PurchaseMe duran años
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024Size: 9-Inch TongsVerified PurchaseI have five OXO tongs, 9", 12", 16" with steel tips and 9" and 12" with nylon(?) tips. The description says these are nylon tips but I have seen them called silicon tips. We're being told to discard black "plastic" utensils (didn't realize nylon is considered plastic). I sure don't want to discard these tongs because they are the best I've ever used. If the tongs with the non-stick tips need to go, OXO please make them with silicone tips. I'll buy two more in a heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Tongs
Size: 9-Inch TongsVerified PurchaseTurn stuff, pick stuff up. Rinse and repeat. That's what I want from a set of tongs.
Turn stuff, pick stuff up... Most tongs will do this well enough. These do it really well, they feel nice in the hand and it's easy to grip food, etc, firmly.
Rinse and repeat... Is it just me, but I like stuff to last. I've a few OXO items and they seem to last really well. Yes, there are cheaper alternatives. But as the saying goes "buy well, buy once". The OXO Good Grips Locking Tongs feel solid and well built. I expect them to keep going a long, long, time.
What else do I like:
The grips, on the handle, are slightly "sticky", it stops them slipping about.
They can be locked closed and that mechanism doubles as a hoop for hanging them, so plenty of storage options
Been through the dishwasher a couple of times and have come out looking great.
