 Tongs - Glossary - Hormel Foods
Tongs are constructed of stainless steel, wood, nylon, aluminum, and other heat resistant materials with a few designs having plastic or silicon coated areas on the handles as well as the Tong tips to provide a more comfortable or secure hold when grasping and holding various food items.
Tongs coated with soft, heat resistant silicon have an ability to gently grip foods such as eggs or tender vegetables for removal from boiling water and cooking pans.
Tongs that are larger in size are generally used for placing or removing foods when grilling, stove top cooking or oven baking where the longer length keeps hands away from heat and the size allows easier grasping of items.
