Tongs

Kitchen tongs are one of the most versatile and handy pieces of equipment to have in the kitchen or dining room. Used for tossing salads, serving desserts and pastries, and turning meats on the frying pan, tongs are one of those things you'll buy and hold onto for years. Depending on how your kitchen is set up, you may want to opt for specialty BBQ tongs that you can store with the rest of your grilling gear, or you might want to rely on some silicone locking tongs, which are designed for use at high temperatures. No matter what kind of tongs you end up with, you'll wonder how you ever got by without them.
