Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Locking Tongs
Customer Review: beauty, quality, too much horsepower required
Summary: 3 Stars
when i compared the utility of the all-clad tongs against tongs sold by a competitor (and which i'd been using ~seven years) i found the all-clad spring mechanism and head design presented challenges (who knew kitchen tongs could be challenging??). i have no doubt these tongs are designed for longevity (and did i say they are beautiful?), however, i found the heavy-duty design demanded more strength than my small, aging hands and fingers could muster. three differences were readily apparent: weight, the strength required for managing the spring action, and the straight-lined design of the tong heads. the weight of these, when compared against my lighter-weight tongs, alleviated previous fears of tong buckling while lifting and turning a thick cut of meat; however, the all clad straight-lined head design (compared against the curved-inward design of the other tongs) forced me to grip extra hard just to keep a cut of meat from slipping out away from the pressing tong heads. in fact, the first few times i used the all clad tongs, due to this slippage, i dropped a pork roast onto the cookstove surface while attempting the transfer to a serving plate. there were other occasions where the food never completely made it out of the pan before slipping back in, sometimes splattering hot liquid along the way. at some point, i simply began using both hands to grip the tongs whenever transferring something large or extremely hot to a serving plate. i was glad to see another reviewer mention this slippery "quality" because i had grown very frustrated with myself. i finally packed the tongs away in a kitchen drawer with the notion to use them only when i need to keep some distance between myself and sources of heat (i have the 12 inch tongs) but, the truth is, i may never wrestle with them again! final thought--had i purchased the tongs i would have returned them as they were too cumbersome compared to my other tongs. however, they (together with a splatter screen)were a free gift with an all-clad purchase. i rate the tongs "3" based on the heavy duty design (longevity) and would encourage others to give the tongs a try for that reason, but, only if you have a strong hand and finger grip or are able to return them if you're not satisfied. the splatter screen, by the way, is the best functioning splatter screen i have ever used. the mesh is closely woven.
Description of All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Locking Tongs
Once you own a pair of tongs you'll never be able to get along without them. Grab corn on the cob or lobster from the pot, flip chicken in the pan or under the broiler, hold red peppers for roasting over your range, and the list goes on. In brushed stainless steel they will retain their good looks even while working hard.Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen accessories, and that's welcome news to serious and professional cooks. These 12-inch tongs are a perfect example of the tools' professional-grade quality. They're made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel that is polished to a mirror finish. Their handles are slightly rounded for comfort and the heads are scalloped for a firm grip. For storage, the tongs lock tightly. All-Clad tools are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
