Stalgast 23 cm Transparent Tongs for Professional Kitchens

Tongs of this type provide controlled grip and release without piercing or crushing food. The spring mechanism returns the arms to an open position, allowing the operator to pick up, turn or plate items with one hand. Transparent materials are chosen for visibility: the operator sees the food, not the tool, reducing the risk of over-handling or dropping delicate items like salads, pastries or grilled vegetables.

To use, the operator squeezes the handles together, closing the tips around the item. The spring tension is calibrated so that the grip is firm enough to hold but gentle enough to avoid damage. Once the item is placed, the handles are released and the tongs open automatically, ready for the next task. The length of 23 cm keeps the hand away from hot surfaces or steam, reducing the risk of burns during service.

The tongs are made from a single piece of transparent, heat-resistant plastic. The material is lightweight, reducing fatigue during long service periods, and does not conduct heat, so it stays cool to the touch even when handling hot food. The construction has no joints or crevices, making it easy to clean and sanitise between uses.

The 23 cm length provides the reach needed for plating, turning or retrieving items from hot surfaces without requiring the operator to lean in. This size is standardised for worktop use, fitting comfortably in a cupboard or utensil drawer without taking excessive space.

Cleaning is straightforward: the tongs can be washed in hot water with detergent, rinsed and air-dried. The transparent material allows for quick visual inspection to ensure no food residue remains. They are also dishwasher-safe, though repeated exposure to high temperatures may reduce the lifespan of the spring mechanism over time.

These tongs are categorised under small utensils in the Stalgast professional catering range, designed for daily use in commercial kitchens, cafés and food service operations.
