Sturdy Metal Tools with Silicone Grip That Protects Cookware
I love the color of these Starpack “Get a Grip” kitchen tools, and it’s great that they’re available in other color options as well. The tools are made of metal, which makes them feel strong and durable, but they’re lined with silicone so they don’t scratch cookware.The silicone gives them a comfortable grip and makes them safe to use on nonstick surfaces. They feel well balanced in the hand and are easy to clean after use.Overall, this set combines strength with smart design. Great quality, good color options, and perfect for protecting pans.

Excellent Quality and Value, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
I hated our old black fiberglass-reinforced nylon tongs, which had no locking mechanism and didn't grip foods securely, and rarely used them, reaching instead for my stainless steel locking tongs with scallop-edge pincers and trying to avoid letting the metal tongs inadvertently touch, and potentially scratch, my nonstick-coated pans. So, when we decided to buy two sets of Copper Chef Black Diamond nonstick pans (which are awesome) to replace our old nonstick cookware, I decided to look for some silicone-tipped tongs to protect our new investment.I own several OXO Good Grips kitchen gadgets and utensils and like them, so my first inclination was to buy their silicone-coated scalloped locking tongs. But when the pretty teal color of the silicone on these StarPack Premium tongs caught my eye and I saw that they had thousands of 5-star reviews, I decided to take a closer look. The price of these was significantly lower than the ones I had intended to get, and I liked the idea of having two pairs of tongs, so one would be available even when the other was in the dishwasher. I appreciated the thoroughness of the description and other information on the Amazon product page, and I prefer buying from family-owned companies, as well as businesses that have enough confidence in their products' performance to offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.My husband and I really enjoy using these kitchen tongs, and often choose them even when we're cooking in pans without a nonstick coating. Plain scalloped stainless steel locking tongs grip more securely than those coated with silicone, since the sharp metal scallops "bite" into the food a bit. But the lack of sharp edges also makes the silicone-coated tongs safer to use, as well as much quicker and easier to clean. And when I'm pan-frying just a few breakfast sausages in a small skillet, for example, I prefer the shorter pair of tongs, although both pairs are very comfortable to use and thoughtfully designed.The locking mechanism is extremely smooth and easy to operate (although it does require two hands). To open the locked tongs, push in the silicone-coated ring. To lock them again, pull the ring out. (Don't pull hard!) Being able to unlock and lock these tongs with very little force is a significant benefit for people (like me) who don't have much grip strength.We've been extremely pleased with the quality of both the materials and the manufacturing. Highly recommended!

High quality
Super sturdy and cute. Love how they make it easy to handle heat as the silicone absorbs the heat. I deep fry and everything with these, they hold up!

I have been pretty satisfied with these
I have been pretty satisfied with these. They are a nice size, fairly sturdy, offer a good grip, the silicone seems very durable (and is nice for nonstick!), and the open/close lock mechanism works well to where they stay open when you want and stay closed when you want. After about 3 months of once a week or so use, and using the dishwasher, I have noticed that the spring itself inside the top joint is starting to show signs of rust. I expect that it will eventually rust completely. I can't say I'm too disappointed at this price point (and with the supposed lifetime warranty -- untested by me personally, but sure they will honor as long as they're around), and given that I actually bought these to replace some high quality all clad tongs that did the same thing to where the spring eventually did rust completely through (after years) (which they did warranty without issue).Rust on this spring seems like it's probably an inevitability as I think the spring steel used as a spring is inherently not stainless? Inevitable or not, and even though it's purely cosmetic, it would be nice to not have them starting to rust (even a little) after 3 months, so I have to take a star off. That being said, I'd recommend these, and buy them again if needed, because I do think they are a great value.

Love this so much, excellent quality!
I really love these tongs. I ordered a cheaper set from another company and hated them, they were horrible quality. I wound up donating them. Did not even use them. I started ordering from StarPack because I liked the fact that they are good silicone and won't scratch my pans. Also, hubby likes to melt everything when he cooks, so you know! These hold up to high heat and are an excellent quality. I've ordered several utensils from StarPack and will continue to buy. Easy to clean too, just throw them in the dishwasher. I like their variety of sizes and seem to prefer the standard shorter size, not the XL, but guys might like the longer versions. Thank you so much, I love them! :)
