Tongs Hendi 171707
Technical data 01 / 02
These universal stainless-steel serving tongs are designed to grip and transfer food from a serving dish to a plate. Their overall length gives reach beyond the hand, helping the operator work into a dish while keeping the hand back from the food. The stainless-steel construction also suits repeated service work in a kitchen where utensils need routine cleaning.
Where it is used
Use the tongs at a buffet or restaurant pass to lift food from a shared dish and transfer it to a plate. Tongs grip food so it can be moved without direct hand contact, making them useful beside serving ware when staff are plating portions during service.
At a café counter, they can serve different dishes from presentation ware without being tied to one particular menu item. The overall length gives reach beyond the hand, helping the operator access food within a dish during hand-held serving work. This makes them suitable for a station where food is transferred from a dish to a plate as part of service.
Care
Stainless steel resists corrosion in damp kitchen conditions. Its surface is easy to keep clean, supporting routine cleaning after contact with food and helping the tongs return to serving work ready for use.
This material is suited to a serving area where utensils are handled repeatedly and cleaned as part of normal work. Keep the tongs with the serving equipment so they are available when food needs transferring.
How to choose
Consider the overall length in relation to the serving dishes used at the station: it gives reach beyond the hand and helps the operator grip food within a dish while keeping the hand back from it. This can be useful where the serving vessel’s rim would otherwise make food harder to reach directly.
The stainless-steel construction offers a separate consideration for a serving area: the material resists corrosion in damp kitchen conditions and its surface is easy to keep clean. That supports routine cleaning between food-service tasks. Together, reach and a cleanable, corrosion-resistant material suit hand-held serving work where utensils are used repeatedly.
