you need this: tongs
These tongs!!! What can I say?!? I have at least 10 of them in different sizes and colors (so when I working with raw meat and veggies, I know what touched what, because I am just that food safe, err paranoid).
I love tongs. I use them for serving, for stirring, for flipping. On the stove, in the oven, on the grill… they are literally the most versatile kitchen utensil ever.
Yes, you need this. And, you need this pronto.
