There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is also no lock mechanism of any kind.
They are quite light weight for their size.
That being said, I love them and hope they don’t break on me.
They do an excellent job at holding medium sized thick steaks (I have not tried large ones yet.)
I love how balanced these feel and light weight when picking up the food, but also sturdy.
I like how far away from the stove my hand is as well. Now, that being said, it does a great job at picking up small things like pieces of okra as well when you have to flip them, however, at that point it doesn’t feel so great on your wrist, In fact, if your wrists cramp, that will probably happen.
The lack of locking mechanism does not bother me as they do not open up extra wide, but I can see how it might some. I would put a rubber band or something on the end if that’s an issue.
I provably wouldn’t put these in the dishwasher; maybe I will one time to see what happens, but I fear they will start developing rust and/or that white crust. We’ll see. I will update.

Some reviews claim that these are not Stainless Steel because a magnet will not stick. Most stainless steel (the good kind) is NOT MAGNETIC. A magnet is my go to test to see if a metal is stainless!!
residents. Though I never used them for a grill, I bet they would be good for that too.
They are rust proof, and super long.
