Stalgast Universal Tongs 24 cm for Professional Kitchens

Professional tongs transfer, turn and portion food without piercing or crushing it. A pivot near the head lets the arms open and close with light finger pressure, giving the chef control over delicate items like fish fillets, salads or pastries. The long reach keeps hands clear of hot surfaces and splashing oil, while the spring action returns the tongs to the open position after each use, ready for the next task.

To use the tongs, the operator holds the handles in one hand and squeezes gently to close the jaws around the food. The item is lifted, moved or turned, then released by relaxing the grip. The spring ensures the tongs do not stay closed when not in use, preventing accidental damage to food or surfaces.

The tongs are made of stainless steel, a material that resists corrosion, withstands repeated washing and does not transfer flavours or odours to food. The 24 cm length provides a balance between reach and manoeuvrability, allowing precise placement in tight spaces or deep containers.

The single specification given, 240 mm, is the overall length from tip to handle end. This dimension determines the depth of container the tongs can reach and the distance they keep the hand from heat sources. The compact size suits worktops, hobs and prep areas where space is limited.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surface can be washed in hot water with detergent, sanitised and dried. The pivot should be checked periodically to ensure smooth movement, and any food debris removed to prevent build-up.

The catalogue lists these tongs under serving and prep utensils, alongside other hand tools for professional kitchens.
