I don't know where I got them. My cooking utensils were purely decoration for so many years. I didn't buy them, and I can't remember whose hand-me-downs they were.A few months ago, once I started truly cooking, I came to depend upon my trusty tongs. They easily flip meat, chicken, and pork.
But I have only one pair!
If you try to buy tongs nowadays, you will only find the springy tongs that squeeze to grip the food. No one carries the old-fashioned scissor style tongs anymore. Believe me, I tried last week. I was willing to pay premium for them, too. After searching everywhere from Williams Sonoma to Ross, I found the tongs online. They are Ekco brand, available at Shop World Kitchen.
And, since they are only $1.99 a pair, I bought 4! This way, a pair will always be clean. And I can share with friends and family who might care to borrow the tongs.
It's so weird that you can't buy them anywhere! Glad you found them online
ReplyDeleteThanks! Exactly what I've been looking for to replace a 50-year-old pair that has recently begun to corrode.
