Ideal for serving salad, fishing hot toast from the toaster, or turning meat and heaps of other uses around the kitchen, you'll soon find you can't do without this truly multi-functional utensil. The Leo tongs are made of solid maple wood with a natural oil finish that coats and protects the wood. Where lettuce or other thinly sliced vegetables will easily break when you handle it with a fork, the tongs allow you to gently handle and serve any delicate food items.
