The tips are self-standing and do not touch the table, so it is very hygienic. The design prevents the tips from touching the counter when set down, maintaining cleanliness. These tongs are longer than average, making them suitable for use with fireplaces, grills, or campfires.

The inside of the tip has a jagged non-slip surface, so it is difficult to drop food. The textured grips on the inside of the tongs provide a secure hold on food items.

Black oxide finish, not paint, so there is no worry of peeling and you don't have to worry about stains. The tongs have a durable, non-painted finish that resists chipping and staining.
