SAINT LAWRENCE 316 Stainless Steel BBQ Tongs — Non-Slip Grilling & Serving Tongs, Short/Long

There's that moment at the grill when the tongs slip, the steak lands crooked on the plate, and you're standing there with tongs that just don't grab the way you need them to. That's the whole reason these exist.

The SAINT LAWRENCE BBQ Tongs are built from one solid piece of 316 stainless steel, no rivets, no hinge to loosen up after a summer of use. That one-piece build also means there's no seam for grease to hide in, so a quick rinse actually gets them clean. The head end is punched with a honeycomb of small holes, which does two things: it lightens the tongs so your wrist isn't fighting them all night, and it lets fat and marinade drip through instead of pooling and splashing back at you. Flip to the other end and you'll feel a cross-hatched, hammer-point texture worked into the metal. That's not decoration. It's what keeps a slick, oiled rib or a wet piece of chicken from sliding out of your grip right as you're moving it off the flame.

The tongs come in a short style at 23.7cm (9.3") and a long style at 28cm (11"), so you can grab the one that keeps your hand a comfortable distance from the heat, whether you're working a tabletop grill or a full-size barbecue. Both sit at 1.5cm (0.6") wide at the tip, narrow enough to pick up a single garlic clove or a thin-cut vegetable without wrestling it. At 80g to 90g, they're light in the hand but the steel has enough heft that they don't feel flimsy or bend when you're turning something heavier, like a rack of lamb chops or a thick steak.

Use them for turning meat on the grill, plating a finished dish, serving up appetizers, or just moving food around a hot pan without getting your fingers anywhere near it. They clean up in the dishwasher, so after the cookout you're not standing at the sink scrubbing char off tongs.

Care and Maintenance

These tongs are dishwasher safe, but if you want them to keep their shine, a quick hand wash with warm water and dish soap right after use works even better, especially if there's marinade or char stuck in the perforated holes. Dry them fully before putting them away since stainless steel can still spot or streak if it sits wet. They can handle direct heat on the grill without warping, but avoid leaving them resting directly in open flame for long stretches, as with any metal utensil. Store them in a drawer or hang them from the handle loop to keep the tips from bending or getting knocked around with heavier cookware. Avoid using them to pry or scrape, since the thin tip is built for gripping and turning food, not for heavy-duty kitchen tasks.
