The OXO GOOD GRIPS Silicone Flexible Tongs combine the strength of stainless steel with the advantages of silicone. The silicone outer layer is heat resistant to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, safe for nonstick cookware and bonded to a sturdy stainless steel core. The Tongs have a flat head shape with thin, flexible edges that glide easily beneath foods and are perfect for flipping fragile foods while keeping them intact, such as fish and scallops. The straight front edge is also great for deglazing and scraping the bottom of pans.
