This product combines the strength of stainless steel with the advantages of silicone. The silicone outer layer, which is heat resistant to 600°F and safe for non-stick cookware, is bonded to a flexible stainless steel core for stability and ease of use. 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. Use the Silicone Flexible Tongs to lift delicate foods such as fish, asparagus and scallops, or to cook chicken breasts and steaks. The straight front edge is also great for deglazing and scraping the bottom of pans.
