Review: OXO Kitchen Tongs - Total Tong Madness

We've been sent a few items to review in the past, but never have we received 3 variations on the same kitchen gadget/tool as we did just last week. Before we received these three sets of tongs, we were very tong challenged. What type of old tongs did we have? We used a set of wooden and steel BBQ tongs for most things here in the kitchen - and to tell you the truth - it wasn't a pretty sight. The tongs didn't collapse, we often had food stuck all over them, and they weren't precise enough. Well - now that we have 3 different OXO tongs - life is much easier.

OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs - Great for big jobs like grilling and flipping chicken, lamb chops, and others
OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Tongs - Good for messy tasks or grilling tasks - see below - we used it for getting parts of a slow cooked chicken
OXO Precision Tongs 11-in - Precise is an understatement. These tongs can get a single noodle of pasta from a boiling pot for sampling

The OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Tongs
can grab just about anything with the large silicone heads.

We really like all the tongs, and one would think having 3 sets of tongs is too much - it really isn't. Each of the OXO tongs can be used for different kitchen cooking tasks, and we really like the larger 12" tongs with the lock, as we can put them away in our giant bin of kitchen tools.
