5 ways to use kitchen tongs

Foods such as sushi, noodles or pasta are best served with tongs so that they are easier to lift from the tray and put on a plate. Kitchen tongs help hold foods that are too slippery to pick up with a fork, spoon, or even hands. But this is not the only advantage that you can get from this kitchen tool. You can find good use for your tongs in several other ways. Here are some ideas on how to use kitchen tongs in addition to lifting food.

   5 ways to use kitchen tongs

1. Turn the food during cooking

The same pair of tongs with which you are going to serve the noodles can also be used to prepare them. When you cook noodles or cook them with other ingredients, it becomes easier to flip and flip them on the stove with the help of tongs. Not only noodles, you can use tongs to remove dimsums from the steamer or flip and cook spaghetti and meat. Tongs can also be used to lift products such as potatoes out of boiling water.

2. Mix the salads

Salad is a combination of ingredients and spices in a bowl and mixing. It is quite simple to prepare a salad, but you can make it easier by using tongs to mix the salad together with other products for thorough mixing.

3. Take items stored at a height

Not all of us are tall enough to reach the top shelf of the cabinets to pick up bags of food and other items. Just grab them with tongs and pull them out.

4. Keep hot pots

All your pots and pans do not have heat-resistant handles. It is not safe to use a kitchen cloth to hold the pan while stirring or to lift the pan from the stove. Use two pairs of heavy-duty pliers and use them as two handles to get the job done with ease.

5. Cook, then clean and grill

Between cooking more than one batch of food on the grill, you can use tongs to clean the grill rods and even re-grease them for the next batch. Keep your hands away from the rods and do not touch the grill. Place a clean towel between the tips of the tongs and reach into the grill from a safe distance.
