The Elevate™ range of kitchen tools is designed to improve hygiene & minimise the mess made by placing utensils onto kitchen surfaces during use. Each tool has an innovative weighted handle with an integrated tool rest, ensuring that, when an Elevate™ utensil is placed down, its head is always raised off of the work surface. These Elevate™ Tongs are made from toughened nylon with silicone heads. They are gently spring-loaded, comfortable to hold & can be locked/unlocked easily using the large button in the handle. The silicone heads are perfect for use with non-stick cookware & are heat resistant up to 270 degrees C/520 degrees F.
