Tongs Hendi 171851

These Hendi serving tongs combine a 300 mm overall length with a stainless-steel working part and black PVC handles. Their reach helps staff pick up and place food across serving dishes while keeping the hand further from the food, making them useful at a buffet or pass.

Where it is used

At a buffet, the length gives staff room to serve from dishes without crowding the food or neighbouring items. The tongs are also suited to a plating station, where their reach helps place portions from a serving vessel onto plates while keeping the grip point back from the dish.

The stainless-steel working part is suited to the damp conditions that come with handling food and washing utensils. It can be kept clean as the tongs move between serving tasks, making them a practical choice for a service station that handles repeated portions.

Care

Dishwasher cleaning makes it easier to include the tongs in the kitchen’s routine utensil wash between service tasks, rather than setting aside a separate hand-washing step. This helps staff return serving equipment to the clean-inventory flow during a busy shift.

Stainless steel resists corrosion in a damp kitchen, and its surface is easy to keep clean. That combination suits a utensil exposed to food and regular washing, while the PVC handles provide a contrasting material for staff to distinguish when handling the tongs.

How to choose

Use the 300 mm overall length when comparing these tongs with the reach needed at a serving point and the space available in its utensil drawer or storage area. It offers a useful reference for deciding whether the tongs can reach across the dishes in use without occupying more storage space than the station allows.

The stainless-steel working part and dishwasher-cleaning suitability are relevant where serving utensils are regularly exposed to moisture and need machine cleaning as part of routine turnover. Together, these properties suit a service setup where clean tongs must be brought back into use across successive tasks.
