HENDI Universal Tongs 250 mm for Professional Kitchens

Tongs of this type use a simple lever mechanism to grip and lift food without piercing it. The spring in the hinge holds the arms apart until the operator squeezes the handles, closing the jaws around the item. This method keeps delicate portions intact and allows quick transfer from pan to plate or from buffet tray to guest's dish.

To use the tongs, the operator holds the handles in one hand and squeezes gently. The jaws open wide enough to grasp a single fillet, a portion of pasta or a whole vegetable. Releasing the pressure lets the spring return the jaws to their resting position, ready for the next item. The length of the tongs keeps the operator's hand away from hot surfaces and steam.

The tongs are made from a single piece of stainless steel, which resists corrosion, does not absorb odours and withstands repeated washing at high temperatures. The material also ensures the tongs remain rigid under load, so they do not bend or twist when lifting heavier items.

The 250 mm length provides reach across a standard worktop or serving counter without requiring the operator to lean forward. This size balances control and distance, making it suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house tasks.

Cleaning is straightforward: the smooth stainless steel surface can be washed in a commercial dishwasher or scrubbed by hand. There are no crevices or joints where food debris can lodge, so maintenance is quick and hygienic.

The tongs are listed in the HENDI catalogue under serving utensils and are compatible with any professional kitchen setup where stainless steel tongs are used.
