Kitchen tongs that close with a little tab
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#2J1BD)
I like these stainless steel tongs because you can lock them closed by pulling on a small metal tab. That makes them easy to store and put in a dishwasher. I bought the set of two (9-inches and 12-inches) for $9 on Amazon. It includes a silicon mat that can be used as a drip mat or hot-pot insulator.
