Stalgast 16 cm Professional Kitchen Tongs

Professional kitchen tongs grip, lift and turn food without piercing or crushing it. The spring-loaded arms open when the operator presses the handles together, then close again when released, holding the item securely. This design allows one-handed operation, leaving the other hand free to steady a pan or plate. The length of the tongs keeps the operator's hand away from hot surfaces, steam or splashing oil, reducing the risk of burns during frying, grilling or plating.

To use the tongs, the operator presses the handles to open the jaws, positions them around the food, then releases the handles to close the grip. The food is lifted, turned or transferred to another container. When the task is complete, the tongs are set down or hung on a rail until the next use.

These 16 cm tongs are constructed from stainless steel, which resists corrosion, does not absorb odours and withstands repeated washing at high temperatures. The size is suited to small to medium items such as cut vegetables, grilled meats or plated garnishes, offering control without bulk.

The tongs require no assembly and have no moving parts that need adjustment. After use, they are rinsed under hot water to remove food debris, then washed in a sink or dishwasher. The stainless steel surface dries quickly and does not retain moisture, reducing the risk of bacterial growth between services.

The 16 cm length gives a compact footprint that fits easily into utensil drawers or on hanging rails, making it practical for kitchens where space is limited. The weight is light enough for comfortable use over long shifts, yet solid enough to handle repeated daily tasks without bending or warping.
