Taos Twist Tongs

While the 18/8 stainless steel construction is durable enough for kitchen use, these tongs are designed primarily as serving utensils. Their artisanal finish is best preserved by using them for table service rather than high-heat stovetop cooking.

To keep the finish looking its best, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can dull the artisanal detailing over time.
