  • Incredible Grip: The Exoglass material offers a secure hold, even with greasy hands.
  • Initial Stiffness: They feel more rigid than silicone tongs, which takes some getting used to.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Clifftop Café in Whitby needed a reliable replacement for their cheap plastic tongs, which were constantly melting or snapping during the busy summer tourist season, posing a hygiene risk and  causing frustration for staff.

"We must have gone through a dozen pairs of tongs in one season. They just couldn't handle the heat from the grill or the constant use. The Matfer Exoglass tongs are on another level. They feel indestructible, and  we haven't had to replace a single pair since we bought them."

Robert Davies – Owner

The switch completely eliminated mid-service breakages and  the recurring cost of replacements, improving kitchen efficiency and  staff morale.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give them a quick wash in warm, soapy water before their first use.
  • That's it! They are ready to go straight out of the box.
  • Pop them in a utensil pot or drawer for easy access during service.

Keeping It Going

  • These tongs are fully dishwasher safe for a hassle-free cleanup.
  • For maximum food safety, they can be sterilised.
  • The one-piece design means no hidden nooks for food to get trapped in.
  • To keep them in top condition, avoid using them to aggressively scrape burnt-on residue.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Tongs

Not sure which tongs are right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for.

Length Matters

Shorter tongs, like these 9-inch ones, offer fantastic precision for plating or turning smaller items. Longer tongs are better for barbecues and  grills to keep your hands away from the intense heat.

Material Is Key

Exoglass is a top-tier choice for heat-resistance and  hygiene. Stainless steel is a durable classic, while silicone-tipped tongs are great for protecting your non-stick cookware.

Grip and  Feel

Look for a comfortable, ergonomic handle that won't cause fatigue. The shape of the head is also important; scalloped edges, like on these, provide a secure grip on a wide variety of foods.

Ease of Cleaning

In a commercial kitchen, hygiene is everything. One-piece, non-porous designs are the gold standard as they are the easiest to clean thoroughly and  can be fully sterilised.

Locking Mechanism

Some tongs feature a locking mechanism for tidy storage in a drawer. Simple, one-piece tongs like the Matfer FA895 tongs are perfect for quick-grab access from a utensil pot on the line.

What Makes 'Exoglass' a Chef's Best Friend?

Ever wondered what 'Exoglass' actually is? Think of it as the kitchen equivalent of carbon fibre for a racing car. It's a special, high-tech composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat that's incredibly strong, rigid, and  lightweight all at once. Unlike plain plastic that can melt, warp, and  potentially leach chemicals into food at high temperatures, Exoglass is built to withstand heat up to 220°C without breaking a sweat. Its main advantage is its non-porous nature. Wood can splinter and  absorb bacteria, while tongs with complex joints can trap food particles. Exoglass is a solid, seamless material, which means it can be properly washed and  sterilised, making it far more hygienic for a professional environment where food safety is paramount.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for line cooks for everything from grilling to precise plating.
  • Busy Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for reliably handling hot paninis, pastries, and  salad bar items all day.
  • Hotel Buffets & Event Caterers: Ideal as professional commercial kitchen serving tongs for hygienic and  efficient service.
  • Culinary Schools: A durable, professional-standard tool for teaching students about quality equipment.
