This to pack of tongs looks amazing right out of the package. I have a red colored kitchen, so they look great sticking out of my utensil holder. I have used them in: boiling water to remove pasta, I have use them to remove chicken drumsticks from the barbecue, and I have also use them to turn a large roast cooking in the oven; they have not melted or deformed in any way. They are easy to clean because of the silicone. I would suggest these tongs to anyone who is tired of cheap tongs.
