Material Only Tongs
Ease of use is the key to these cleverly designed Only Tongs from Material. The hidden magnetic “gravity lock” allows them to open and close seamlessly: Simply turn them upside down and squeeze the sides together to engage the magnet when you want to close them, or flip them over and squeeze a second time to open them. Unlike other tongs that get stuck and break easily—making them bulky and hard to store—the Only Tongs stay the way you want them to, open or closed, without extra pieces to press that may break or wear out. Made completely of heat-safe lightweight stainless steel, the textured edges grip food with precision, making them ideal for anything from grilling steaks and searing scallops to dishing up pasta or tossing salads. And when you’re done, simply put them in the dishwasher.
