The Winco UTS-12K 12" utility tongs with silicone tips are designed to be the workhorse of any buffet line, salad bar or commercial kitchen. These utility tongs are made from .6mm thick stainless steel to withstand daily use in commercial foodservice environments ideal for buffets, catering and restaurant kitchens. The silicone tips are heat resistant up to 400 °F and are designed not to scratch the surface of non-stick pans. The scalloped edges grip foods gently and firmly for a secure hold. The locking ring keeps the tongs in the closed position for space-efficient storage.
