Commercial-grade stainless steel tongs

The Winco UT-16 is a 16-inch utility tong made from .9mm stainless steel for daily use in commercial kitchens. A coiled spring provides consistent tension and long-lasting durability. Scalloped edges grip a variety of foods securely at salad bars, buffets and catering stations. The tool is dishwasher safe for efficient cleanup.

Upgrade from light-duty serving tongs

Replace thinner tongs that bend under heavy loads or lose spring tension after repeated use. The heavyweight construction handles dense foods and high-volume service without deformation. The jump is worth it when daily commercial demand requires a tool that maintains alignment and grip through thousands of cycles.

Limited to manual serving tasks

The tongs function only as a hand-operated gripping tool with a 1-inch jaw capacity. They provide no cutting, measuring or heat-resistant insulation beyond the steel itself. Length is fixed at 16 inches with no locking mechanism for storage. Buyers needing longer reach, finer tips or a locking ring must choose a different design.
