HENDI 300 mm red serving tongs for professional kitchens

Serving tongs transfer hot or delicate food from a tray, pan or buffet to the plate without piercing or crushing. The spring-loaded arms open when the operator squeezes the handles, then close around the item and hold it securely while it is lifted and released. The length of the tongs keeps the hand away from steam, splashes and hot surfaces, reducing the risk of burns and contamination. Colour coding by handle helps staff match the tool to the food type, supporting hygiene protocols in busy kitchens.

To use the tongs, the operator holds the handles in one hand and squeezes them together. The arms open, the food is picked up, and the grip is released to close the arms around it. The item is then lifted and positioned over the plate or container, and the handles are squeezed again to open the arms and drop the food. The process is repeated for each portion, allowing quick, controlled service during peak hours.

The tongs are made of stainless steel with a red plastic handle. The 300 mm length provides reach across standard gastronorm trays and chafing dishes. The red handle colour complies with HACCP standards, indicating the tongs are designated for a specific food group to prevent cross-contamination.

The tongs are operated manually and require no power or settings. They are cleaned by hand with warm water and detergent, then dried immediately to prevent corrosion and maintain hygiene. The plastic handle is not dishwasher safe, so it must be washed separately to avoid damage.

The catalogue places these tongs in the serving and portioning section, alongside other HACCP-compliant utensils for professional food service.
