Easily lift and grab waffles of all sizes from your waffle maker with the easy-grip silicone mini waffle tongs from Tovolo. Unique hooked end grabs the waffle between the squares to prevent slipping or dropping from the waffle maker to plate. The beveled edge slides easily under waffles, releasing the cooked edge from the iron. Strips of non-slip silicone provide grip. The soft-touch silicone will not scratch waffle irons. Keep the tongs closed with the handy locking mechanism. Pull the ring to lock the tongs in the closed position, and push it in to release the arms. The locking mechanism ensures that tongs fit neatly in drawers. The unique shape makes these tongs great for serving, whether in the kitchen or at the buffet. Their small size uniquely suits them for small hands, so kids can help with breakfast. Silicone is heat resistant up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand the heat of the waffle iron.
