Ironwood Spring Salad Tongs

No, these acacia wood tongs should be hand washed with warm, soapy water and air dried. Putting them in the dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish over time.

The tongs are designed with a built-in spring that keeps them open by default. You simply squeeze the handles together to grip your salad greens or toppings, and they spring back open once you release your pressure.

Because these tongs are crafted from natural acacia wood, every pair features unique, contrasting grain patterns. While the shape and size will be consistent, the specific wood markings will vary from piece to piece.

At 12 inches long, these tongs provide a generous reach that works well for standard to large-sized salad bowls. They offer enough leverage to toss and serve without your hands getting too close to the food.

While not strictly required, applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner occasionally will help maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out. This is a good practice for any wooden kitchen tool to ensure longevity.
