Williams Sonoma Olivewood Locking Tongs
Best gentle-grip tongs for home cooks using nonstick cookware.
These tongs bridge the gap between utilitarian kitchen gear and tabletop elegance. The scalloped wooden tips are a godsend for protecting nonstick pans, though you’ll have to trade the convenience of the dishwasher for the longevity of the olivewood finish.
