Twelve bucks? TWELVE F’IN BUCKS? Are you out of your mind, Meh? It’s not even the first time it has come to play with us, thank you, and STILL you charge TWELVE BUCKS?
@katbyter I’ve been doing some night grilling lately. This would come in handy so I wouldn’t have to hold a flashlight under my chin. But I already have all of these tools separately. I’m torn.
No, just no. Any serious chef / home cook will be extremely frustrated by this garbage tool because it is literally the worst of both possible worlds.
With this tool the tongs will get in the way when you need to flip something an will literally ruin your flip. Just imagine trying to turn an egg with this trash - you’ll end up running your eggs to the end of the spatula, hitting the tongs and destroying your eggs. If you need a spatula, just get a spatula.
The leverage you will have from the tongs on this piece of shit will only frustrate you because when you try to pick up a protein with them you won’t have equal leverage and it will fail. If you want tongs, just get tongs.
If all you want is something to flip and grab some chicken nuggets off the sheet pan, I guess this would work for you but you’d honestly be better off in that case just getting a proper set of tongs.
@RiotDemon I promise you that 12 inch tongs are more than long enough to keep your hand out of the flames of a backyard grill. Most grill cooks I know use 6-8 inch tongs for hundreds of orders and you won’t find a spatula anywhere near 18 inches at any grill station. The 12s mostly get used for prep when you’ve got the grill loaded with roasting peppers or similar. I’ve only busted out the 16s for fishing stuff like Lobster out of giant stock pots (because steam burns are no joke).
These aren’t bad. I bought the two pack last time and have used one of them a couple of times on the grill to flip burgers and rotate dogs. No issues with them.
Picked this up last time, yeah they look like a hot mess but they work pretty well on the grill. Beats lugging around 4 different items to a tailgating party as well. I’m actually pretty happy with it.
I USE THESE TO HANDLE NUCLEAR WASTE AND MAIL FROM THE IRS!!! IT KEEPS THE PSYCHOACTIVE TOXINS OFF MY HANDS!!! THEY’RE ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE ME HALLUCINATE AND SIGN MY TAX RETURNS, BUT SIGNING YOUR TAX RETURNS IS A BAD IDEA!!! IT ONLY MEANS THEY HAVE SOMETHING ON YOU!!! EAT MORE CHEESE!!!

Noooooooooooo! I wanted something good tonight!
How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways. 6.
That’s not going to fit in my drawer of kitchen utensils. Too much girth.
What the diddly?
I got these last time, I love mine, and my friend also liked his.
@rileyper
I got these too. Still haven’t used them.
@rileyper Birds of a feather…

What —-tongs got your tongue?
Funny looking tongs
They might want to be chopsticks
Buy this I will not
@nolrak Yoda wouldn’t buy them either.
Looks like a torture device for S & M…
Sausages and Meatballs
What, no usb port?
@dcm714 or bluetooth?
@dcm714 @rtjhnstn or “smart” controls to tell me when it is done.
Why are there so many tong photos? That is… a lot of tong photos.
@jiltant for action and dramatic effect.
Are the speakers wired or wireless?
You can’t fish with it? This is a serious deficit. I will not buy one so there will forever be one extra; the one I didn’t buy.
@jewelshound I bought one for myself, and that extra one you foolishly left behind.
Pretty sure you should be paying me to use this thing.
You had me until flashlight. Really?

@jjohns71 also, 18 inches is stupidly long for even standard tongs. Less control, more fatigue.
@jjohns71 your right!! I like them too. Heh heh heh hee
@Oneroundrobb for grilling, the longer the better. That way your hand doesn’t get too hot.
I would never use this in a kitchen.
@jjohns71 Buried the lede: You grill eggs?
@stinks You can grill anything when you put a cast iron pan on the flame

Tong of all trades, master spatula of none.
The spatula extends to work free of the tongs.
Bought 2 last time they were sold (2 was the only option). Kept one & gave other as a Fathers Day gift.
We both love these things.
The thing that’s grilling Glen (as well as the first flashlight pic) is an impostor. It clearly has two tong sides!
tongs, but no tongs . . .
Bought the 2pack last time. Still sitting In Their boxes. But… I likey
@bugger Christmas and last minute birthday gifts are coming.
Aren’t these kind of like a fish/ski boat combo? Great idea but really doesn’t work that great for either purpose?
Every day a new low…Woot is eating your lunch.

@cbeaven that’s six dollars a flip
You people are way too picky and apparently don’t grill on a large grille at night. I can see the usefulness of this quite easily.
Also, it clearly says the spatula extends so you guys bitching about the tongs interfering with the “spatulosity” are just being contentious.
(actually, it seems the tong part extends and retracts)

@AlexJones It looks like you don’t have refrigerated batteries though. tisk tisk
HSN has these for $8 each (+shipping). But their deal includes FREE SKEWERS. I can’t believe that MEH won’t skewer us!!
I have no comment on the product, but I would like to commend whoever wrote today’s short story. 10/10 would swoon again.
Am I the only one who sees a delek in the spatula face?
@benjyhe
Now that you mention it, I see it too.
SEVEN!
**CAN ALSO BE A BACKSCRATCHER.
@Rakaim 8… they can also be a boat anchor
