"Happy Customer" star star star star star Despite the negative reviews for this item I decided to buy a pair of these about a month ago. I have used them a number of times and have found them ideal for use with the grill pan and shallow frying pan. The silicone tips do come off but this makes them easier to clean and then you slide them back on. Unless you buy a utensil completely encased in silicone, food particles do get under the silicone parts. Time will tell regarding the spring but should it break Lakeland offers a three year guarantee. I'm happy.
"Handy little tongs." star star star star star_border These are really useful for handling smaller, lighter weight items. But no good on heavier, bulkier things.
"Little disappointed" star star star star_border star_border Seem well made and a nice size. Unfortunately, you cannot use to pick up certain items that have been cooked in fat as the tips are flexible and do not grip.

"TIPS COME OFF" star star star_border star_border star_border I found out that the items in fat can slip off. Also i wash the tongs by hand and take the silicone tips off to let them dry. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for your review.
