Product Specifications & Care
These Estonian-crafted tongs are designed for functionality and safe food handling.
- Construction & Design: Crafted from a single piece of alder wood bent with traditional methods for natural tension. This one-piece design has no springs, hinges, or glue, ensuring simple reliability.
- Dimensions: Measures 13.5 inches long with a 3-inch wide head. Weighs a lightweight 4.2 ounces for comfortable use.
- Grip & Strength: The wood's natural flex provides a gentle but firm grip, ideal for delicate foods like fish but strong enough for heavier items like baked potatoes.
- Heat Resistance: Alder wood is a natural insulator, perfect for grilling, hot pans, or retrieving toast. For longevity, avoid direct flame or prolonged contact with hot cookware.
- Material & Finish: Made from 100% solid alder wood and finished with a food-grade mineral oil, making them food-safe and ready to use.
- Primary Uses: A kitchen multi-tasker for tossing salads, serving pasta, grilling, and more. The soft wood is safe for all cookware, including non-stick surfaces.
- Cleaning & Maintenance: These tongs are hand-wash only with mild soap and warm water; dry thoroughly. Not dishwasher safe, as it can cause warping or cracking.
- Long-Term Care: To maintain the wood, wash promptly after use with acidic or colorful foods. Occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying.
