Frequently asked questions
-
Are these tongs safe for non-stick cookware and delicate surfaces?
Yes! The smooth bamboo construction is gentle on all surfaces including non-stick pans, ceramic dishes, stainless steel bowls, and glass serving platters. Unlike metal tongs that can scratch premium finishes, bamboo protects your investment while providing excellent control.
-
Can I use these for both food service and spa/bathroom applications?
Absolutely! Many users keep separate pairs for different purposes, but these tongs are designed to transition between uses. Simply wash thoroughly between applications. They work beautifully for tea service, pastries, and charcuterie, as well as hot towel service and bath accessories.
-
How do I clean and maintain bamboo tongs?
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water after each use, then dry completely. Periodically apply food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking. Never soak bamboo utensils or place them in the dishwasher, as this can cause warping and splitting.
-
Will these tongs grip slippery items like sugar cubes, olives, or wet towels?
Yes! The ridged tips are specifically designed to provide enhanced grip on slippery, oily, or wet items. The textured surface creates friction that prevents items from sliding, making them perfect for olives, pickles, sugar cubes, lemon slices, marinated items, and steaming towels.
-
Are these suitable for commercial use in cafés, bakeries, or hotels?
These tongs are ideal for hospitality settings including self-serve pastry stations, tea service areas, breakfast buffets, and spa amenities. Their professional appearance, hygiene benefits, and eco-friendly positioning align perfectly with modern hospitality standards.
-
Can children use these tongs safely?
Yes! These lightweight tongs are perfect for Montessori-style activities and teaching fine motor skills. They're ideal for kids' snack time, making self-service fun while reducing mess. Always supervise young children during use.
-
Are bamboo tongs more hygienic than plastic or metal alternatives?
Yes, bamboo naturally contains antimicrobial properties that inhibit bacterial growth. When properly cleaned and dried, bamboo tongs are more hygienic than plastic (which can harbour bacteria in scratches) and easier to sanitise than porous wooden alternatives.
-
Can these tongs be composted at end of life?
Yes! Bamboo is fully biodegradable and compostable. When your tongs reach the end of their useful life, they can be added to your compost bin where they'll naturally decompose, unlike plastic alternatives that persist in landfills for hundreds of years.
