Reviews for Vollrath 4781240 Jacob's Pride 12" Stainless Steel Scalloped Tongs with Red Coated Kool-Touch® Handle

Great tongs if you need something to withstand high heats. I use my nylon-tipped ones more often, but if you're not concerned about scratching whatever your'e cooking on or you're dealing with higher temperatures, these are fantastic. The nylon coating keeps them cool, but I think the metal would only heat up if you were using them for extended periods near intense heat. My favorite feature is the lack of a hinge. It makes it impossible to pinch your palm when using them (as I often do with other tongs). They don't lock closed, which takes up more space but makes them easier to grab and use with one hand. If you're working over radiant heat, like a grill, you might want to go for something longer than 12" though.

Great tongs for saute or fry stations. I prefer spring loaded tongs for grill stations if you use grill weights, since they bear the weight a bit better, but these ones from Vollrath are a little sturdier than off brand models, and while they might not work as well as spring loaded for that particular application, I still tend to trust I won't drop a stack of steak weights. Coating held up very well.

What is good: high-quality silicone pens. Excellent grip. No rolling shutter and pinch. Another silicone on the end of the handle - does not allow to burn.

The 12" scalloped tong is the bigger of the 'normal' sized tongs that would work for the home chef. Like all the dipped Jacobs Pride tongs, the handles stay cool and don't harbor filth while cleaning. Overall it keeps your hands out of the heat and allows for long reach without being ridiculous

These Vollrath tongs are by far the best tongs we have used. They are nice and stiff and the handles are comfortable and cool. This 12" size works great to grab things on the charbroiler or griddle. Would purchase again!

These Vollrath 12 inch tongs have become my all time favorite tongs ever, it wasn't easy shelling out the extra money but after the hinged mechanical kept falling apart, we gave it a go, and here we are 2 years later and they're perfect.

I have used one pair now for the last two years and the are still in great shape. I would highly recommend these tongs for anybody working in a high volume kitchen.

These work as they should, Kool Touch handle is a real thing and it works. The coated portion is cracked at the edges now but they aren't falling off, my usage of these with high heat is HIGH

I like having these for certain applications where locking tongs may be too harsh on the product. Also less chance of breaking unlike locking tongs which the springs can break after only a few months. The recoil on these may give out eventually but at least you don't have to worry about employees inadvertently breaking them prematurely

Great product that I will be purchasing more of again soon. They hold up to the daily beatings and even when fishing stuff out of the fryer they stay cool to the touch unlike some of the all stainless ones.

It was important to us to be able to color co-ordinate where tongs would be used and what food type to go with. This really helps.

Purchased item to replace worn ones used on hot bar. The older ones were the same brand and held up to years of abuse in a commercial environment. These hold up very well.

Great tongs for any use. The hold up well to high heat and flame (minus the handle coating as expected). Handle does stay cool even when I know the metal tong area is hot.

These tongs are not that expensive the plastic layer makes it not hot for Example If there is a medal tong without the piece of plastic on something hot it would burn you but the plastic stops that

These are awesome scalloped tongs. The rubber coating does work, and there is no space for bacteria growth. Vollrath products are great, we buy Vollrath anytime we can. Some of the cheaper brands lose the stiffness quality of the tongs at the 'joint' if you will. But these are much sturdier. Pay the extra dollar or two, it's worth it.

Love these tongs! Bought this color so I have color coded tongs for different applications! I used rhis beige when to handle seafood products to prevent cross contamination

I love the cool touch tongs. I always have a set in my hands. they are not just a tool they are an extension of my hand!

Good quality and simple scalloped tongs. Can not beat the price for color coated kool touch handles either. Shipping was fast and managable if combined with a larger order.

Very good quality tong by Vollrath! This one comes with black coated handle! Easy to use and clean! We use it in conjunction to deep fryers! 4 stars!

These are great, especially if you work in a restaurant. They don't break unlike other tongs we have tried. I would highly recommend these tongs.

The Vollrath Jacob's Pride 12" Stainless Steel Scalloped Tong with Purple Coated Kool-Touch Handle is great for color coding your kitchen. It is break resistant if dropped and the handle is heat resistant. It is also versatile and will last a long time.

12" stainless steel scalloped tong with black coated kool-touch handle are nice to use. They are long enough to reach things that are further back in the flames.

these are the best tongs I have ever used. One piece design won't fall apart. Holds a good amount of weight without slipping ( I pick up deep dish pizzas with them). Plastic coating keeps it from slipping in your hand.

These are great for multi use! I have used them when cooking, tossing a salad, on the bbq and plan to buy a few more!

Great that this has a nice long handle, perfect to keep your hands cool when grilling meats or veggies on the grill. Love the coated handle.

I love this tong. The quality is top notch, the rubber coating on the handle is durable, and the hinge makes it surprisingly ergonomic. The 12 inch size is perfect for general use, and because it's metal you can stick it directly into the fire which is advantageous over plastic or silicone tongs.

Great price and control for preparation of large items like double chops, turkey legs, and whole crustaceans like crab or lobster. I would recommend this for any kitchen

Perfect Vollrath stainless steel tongs. Easy grip handle and nice long reach keep hands away from head. Handle is coated and head does not transfer. love them

These stainless steel tongs are amazing. They're great quality and hold up well under heavy usage. The red handles are easy to grip and easy to see.

These tongs are awesome. We've only had them for a few weeks but they are holding up well so far. I think the coating on the handle will make the metal last longer without breaking.

easy to grip for small hands. handle stays cool. long enough to reach across the hot griddle or stove. Price is right so buy a few.

A really nice set of tongs. Very strong. Vollrath is perfect for the grill or fryer. Vollrath has the best stuff, everything i have is Vollrath.

Great tongs. This size is a good length for working with over high heat. Can definitely recommend these. Nice quality and well made. Good product.

These tongs are amazing I absolutely love them, I have had these for several years and they are still firm. What I like about them is that they are soft to use not like other brand tongs that make your hands hurt. Will buy them again soon.

I have only used these for home use but they are awesome! All the tongs I have purchased from different companies are not even close to being good as these. I would highly recommend.

These are comfortable tongs, and are fantastic at protecting your hand from the heat of whatever you are picking up or turning. The coated handle is comfortable, and makes it easier to hold onto these than regular, uncoated tongs. It definitely put less fatigue on my hand than a standard tong.

love these tongs been using them for years. no spring to wear out. I have had a pair I used everyday for four years and it is just now showing wear.

We like these vollrath tongs they are sturdy for picking up heavy plates from the cheese melter . They don't have the spring to worry about them breaking fast.

This is a sturdy well built tong. The color is also neutral and pleasing to the eye. Wish it also came with a ring to lock it in place

Love these tongs - handles are color coded and retain their color after multiple washings and sanitizing. Great handle length and the scalloped edge grips my product without damaging it. BOH loved the idea of the color coded handles to prevent cross contamination. Webstaurant has the best pricing on these tongs and quick delivery.
