There’s so much right with tongs – they’re one of the handiest kitchen utensils you’ll ever have in your cutlery draws. But there are a couple of things about tongs that are wrong. For instance, you can’t put them down while cooking without messing up your bench or “contaminating” them; and that little slide-y metal thingy always falls and locks at the wrong moment. Well, never fear, Clongs are here, to right all the wrongs of tongs!

Clongs One Handed Sit-Up Tongs are smartly designed so that when you place them on the bench, the business end never touches the counter top – your bench stays clean and your tongs remain hygienic. And, this is the good news, they’ve done away with the slide-y metal thingy and replaced it with a simple button that allows you to open or lock the tongs whenever you like – with one hand!

But the designers didn’t stop there – they decided to use heat-resistant silicone tips on the “claws”, so not only are they heat resistant up to 260ºC (so you can use them on the barbeque as well as in the kitchen), they’re easy to clean and you can use them on your non-stick cookware and not worry about scratching.

Available in two sizes – 9 and 12 inches, the Clongs One Handed Sit-Up Tongs make an attractive and practical housewarming gift or a thoughtful present for your favourite foodie.

Throw out your old tongs and grab a set of Clongs One Handed Sit-Up Tongs – they’re so right it’d be wrong not to!
