Sure, these tongs are perfect for tossing and serving salads, which admittedly we eat a ton of in our house, but I use them for so much more. They’re great for turning foods part way through cooking—every skillet meal or sheet pan dinner I make requires the use of these tongs. I use them to pick up roasted asparagus spears from a baking sheet, scoop out a serving of spaghetti or fettuccine, and to serve slices of meat loaf. I never worry about damaging my cookware because thanks to the nylon heads, they won’t scratch. I love the locking mechanism for storage. They fold up compactly to fit in my utensil jar when locked (could you imagine trying to fit three of these in a jar while expanded?!). Cleaning the tongs is a cinch because I just toss them in my dishwasher. And after years of use and cycles through the dishwasher, all my tongs are holding up great.
