Expert Review and  Insights

In any professional kitchen, you want tools that are simple, effective, and  practically indestructible. These Matfer Exoglass tongs tick all those boxes. They feel incredibly robust in your hand, far more so than standard plastic, and  the heat resistance is the real hero. They've become my go-to for any task where my old tongs would have started to soften or warp.

  • Incredibly Hygienic: The solid, one-piece design is brilliant for quick and  thorough cleaning.
  • Rigid Feel: They are less flexible than metal, which takes a little getting used to.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Bite', a popular eatery in Leeds, needed a serving solution for their carvery station. Their existing plastic tongs were showing signs of heat damage and  staining, which looked unprofessional and  raised hygiene concerns.

"We were replacing our serving tongs every few months. They’d either start to melt from the heat lamps or get stained by sauces. The Matfer Exoglass tongs have been a revelation. They look as good as new after months of daily use, and  our staff love how sturdy and  easy to clean they are."

Robert Green – General Manager

By switching, the eatery has completely eliminated the cost of replacement tongs and  has received positive comments on the professional appearance of their serving station.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ready to use straight from the packaging.
  • Give them a quick wash in hot, soapy water before their first use.
  • No assembly or complex setup required – they're as simple as they look!

Keeping It Going

  • Completely dishwasher safe for fast and  efficient cleaning.
  • For maximum hygiene, these tongs can be sterilised without being damaged.
  • Avoid direct, prolonged contact with open flames or red-hot elements to ensure longevity.
  • The non-porous surface resists stains, so a simple wipe-down often does the trick.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tongs

Not sure which tongs are right for the job? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Metal is durable but can scratch non-stick pans. Silicone-tipped is gentle but can tear. Exoglass offers a fantastic middle-ground: non-scratch, incredibly durable, and  highly heat-resistant.

Consider the Length

Shorter tongs (9-10 inches) offer more control for precise tasks like plating. Longer tongs (12+ inches), like these, are essential for keeping hands safe from heat when grilling, frying, or reaching into ovens.

Grip and  Tip

Scalloped edges provide a secure grip on a variety of foods. Flat or spoon-shaped tips are better for serving saucy dishes or delicate items. These have a classic, versatile scalloped design.

Locking Mechanism

Many tongs feature a locking mechanism for tidy storage. These Matfer tongs have a one-piece design without a lock, which enhances hygiene by removing moving parts and  crevices.

Heat Resistance

Check the maximum temperature. Standard plastic tongs can melt easily. For professional use near hot equipment, a high heat resistance like the 220°C offered by these tongs is non-negotiable.

What Exactly is Exoglass?

Ever wondered what makes these tongs so tough? It's all down to the Exoglass material. Don't think of it as ordinary plastic; it's a special, non-porous composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat. Imagine the difference between a standard family car and  a Formula 1 car – both are cars, but one is engineered for extreme performance. That's Exoglass for your kitchen.

This composite nature means it won't absorb moisture, flavours, or colours, so it will never stain or smell, even after contact with strong foods like curry or tomato sauce. It’s also incredibly rigid, so unlike cheaper plastics, it won't warp or go soft when exposed to heat from a pan or a bain-marie. It’s the secret behind why these tongs last so long in demanding professional environments.
