12 Inch Stainless Silicone Non Stick Grilling Reviews Summary

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "These feel really high quality. Much better than my old tongs."
• "These Allwin tongs are the best kitchen tongs that we've ever had."
• "Great tool for cooking. I should have had one a long time ago. Easy to use and it keeps my hands clean. I love the lock feature."
• "I bought these tongs because they had silicon non scratch grips."
• "Love these tongs. Great value for the price. Well made of heavy metal."
• "The lock feature is sturdy and doesn't open until you're ready."
• "They are durable (have had a set for 10 years) and are easy to use."

Cons:

• "These tongs are not strong enough to hold anything that requires much force."
• "You have to be careful not to drop though. Dropped one and it came apart."
• "When I received them, I can clearly tell it is very dirty in the gap between the metal and silicone part."
• "One small pin holds it all together and that bent\broke without warning when I was taking food out of an air fryer; some pieces fell into the air fryer, could not take the food out, made a mess."
• "The rubber part of these tongs smells like soap after washing... and soapy/chemical like scent travels to food."
• "Really great tongs at first, but these broke within 8 months of use. The pin/rivet and tab loosened after standard use, which caused the entire build to completely fall apart."
• "The tongs worked well at first, but after a few weeks the locking mechanism began to get stiff."

Functionality and Usability

Pros:

• "Doesn't melt like other plastic tongs."
• "No problems with melting of any kind when it comes to the plastic so I would say it has great heat Resistance."
• "They clean easy too. Definitely impressed."
• "The silicone seems to stand up to even 450-degree heat."
• "I can use them in any pan at any heat to turn food items over."
• "The metal portion is thick and solid."
• "These have a rolled edge so your hand isn't in contact with any sharp metal edges."

Cons:

• "After using and hand-washing these a few times, we used them for a dish and found that it left small slivers of colored silicone in our food."
• "The locking pin and one of the tongs at that point have already bent so they no longer lock."
• "Tongs open way too wide."
• "The smaller kitchen tongs opened up on me in less than two months."
• "The rivet holding the tongs together does not last."
• "I've had these for a little over a year and very disappointed. The pin that holds the hinge together keeps sliding out on both pair and it's very tricky to put them back together."
• "Nice, sturdy pair of tongs. I like the ease of the locking feature. Easy to cook with, however, I found that the tip of the tongs are bit thicker than what I'm used to with metal tongs so some things were a bit tougher to flip."

Value and Longevity

Pros:

• "I actually like them better with the silicone. It is easier to grip when I’m cooking."
• "I love cooking with these tongs. They lock & unlock so easy. I use the 9” for salads & also when cooking on stove."
• "We use them for everything, and they shipped quick."
• "They wash well, and they saved our pan and our marriage!!"
• "Purchased these to replace plain metal tongs and I’m glad I did! Very affordable and work well. Love the locking feature!"
• "These tongs are perfect. Great for use with air fryer when food is too hot to manage. They also hold up really well after washing several times."
• "Metal tongs can be a bit pricy and silicone tongs even pricier. These are a great value and are well made."

Cons:

• "I guess you get what you pay for."
• "The part that your hand touches has decayed and is now kind of gross."
• "Spend a little more and get a better quality."
• "I've cut myself twice trying to clean these tongs."
• "These were good tongs for a short while. They truly seemed like good quality, however, after a few months the silicon tips started to break and food would get stuck in between the silicon and the metal inside the tong."
• "They began to discolor after being put in the dishwasher."
• "The problem I have with them is with the locking mechanism. It doesn’t hold in place very well."
