Expert Review and  Insights

You can feel the quality of the Matfer tongs the second you pick them up. They have a satisfying rigidity that cheap plastic tongs just can't match, giving you real confidence when you're turning a heavy piece of meat or working at speed. They’ve become the go-to on my prep station because they handle everything without fuss and  clean up perfectly every time.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The Exoglass material is genuinely brilliant; it doesn't scratch non-stick surfaces at all.
  • Con: The mechanism isn't sprung, so they require manual opening and  closing.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Bite', a riverside bistro in Shrewsbury, were constantly replacing their nylon tongs which would warp and  melt from contact with their flat-top griddle. They needed a set of professional catering tongs that could withstand daily high-heat use.

"We were going through a pair of cheaper tongs every month. Since switching to the Matfer Exoglass tongs six months ago, we haven't had a single issue. They look and  perform as good as new, and  they don't scratch our new induction pans either. A brilliant bit of kit."

Robert Miller – Head Chef

The switch completely eliminated their monthly spend on replacement tongs and  protects their cookware investment.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • No assembly required! They are ready to use straight out of the packaging.
  • We recommend a quick wash in hot, soapy water or a run through the dishwasher before first use.

Keeping It Going

  • These tongs are fully dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • For complete peace of mind, they can be sterilised at high temperatures.
  • The one-piece design means there are no joints or crevices for food particles to get stuck in.
  • While incredibly durable, avoid leaving them in direct contact with an open flame or a hot hob surface for extended periods.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tongs

Not sure what to look for in a pair of professional tongs? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect tool for your kitchen.

Material is Everything

Metal is durable but scratches non-stick surfaces. Silicone is gentle but can lack rigidity. Exoglass offers the best of both worlds: strong, heat-resistant, and  non-abrasive.

Consider the Length

Longer tongs (12"+) are great for keeping your hands away from the heat of a BBQ or deep fryer. Shorter tongs like this 11" model offer more precision and  control for plating.

Check Heat Resistance

Always check the maximum temperature a pair of tongs can handle. For general hob and  oven work, a rating of 200°C or more, like these have, is essential to prevent melting.

Grip and  Head Shape

Scalloped edges provide a secure grip on round or slippery items like sausages. Flatter ends can be better for turning delicate items like fish or for serving.

Ease of Cleaning

One-piece, non-porous designs are the gold standard for hygiene. They can be cleaned and  sterilised thoroughly with no hidden spots for bacteria to grow.

The Exoglass Advantage: Why It's Not Just 'Posh Plastic'

Ever wondered what 'Exoglass' actually is? It's a special composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat, and  it's what makes these Matfer Exoglass tongs so unique. Think of it like the difference between a normal family car and  a Formula 1 car. Both have four wheels, but one is built from advanced materials for extreme performance. Standard nylon or plastic tongs are fine for a bit of salad, but they'll warp, melt, or stain under the pressure of a commercial kitchen. Exoglass is engineered to be incredibly rigid, non-porous, and  resistant to heat up to 220°C. This means you get the strength of metal without the risk of scratching your pans, and  the light weight of plastic without the risk of it failing at a crucial moment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for line chefs needing reliable, heat-resistant tools for grilling, frying, and  plating.
  • Busy Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for handling hot toasties, turning sausages, and  serving items from the salad bar.
  • Event Caterers: Their robust, easy-to-clean design makes them ideal for varied use at off-site events.
  • Bakeries & Pâtisseries: Safely and  precisely move hot pastries, bread, or delicate decorations without causing damage.
