Finally, the perfect Tongs for use with nonstick cookware. These OXO GOOD GRIPS Tongs feature the sturdy stainless steel construction and soft grips you expect, with nylon heads you need to protect your cookware. The nylon heads are heat resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lock the Tongs in the closed position for convenient storage.
Not only do these 9-inch tongs cushion hands and provide thumb rests, which are useful when gripping heavy objects, but the nylon heads won't scratch nonstick cookware. Doubling as a hang loop, a tab on the bottom pulls out to lock the stainless-steel tongs shut, allowing them to slip easily into a drawer. The nylon heads are heat-resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the tongs are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Those worked horribly, being flexible plastic and crappy; normally the hot dogs would just slip right out of them and splash... more info
Great tongs:
These are everything you want from Nylon tongs. People complain about them melting on high heat or on certain types of cookware. I don't know about everyone, but the whole point of buying Nylon Tongs is to not scratch non-stick cookware. Hence you should only use it with non-stick cookware - where these work wonderfully. Why would you use this on cast iron?! Don't do that! You will ruin the nylon edges of the tongs. Just common sense if you ask me. My only complaint is that the inside of the arms might be... more info
Oxo Tongs:
My daughter-in-law had a pair of these tongs in her kitchen when I visited her and my son recently and I really liked them. It makes it so much easier to turn over a piece of meat or anything w/o leaving half of the item in the pan! Upon returning home, I immediately ordered them. Still love them!
