F. Dick 12-inch Plating Tongs

Precise placement of microgreens, herbs and garnishes is what plating tongs are for, and at 12 inches these F. Dick tongs also keep the hand well away from heat. They turn scallops in a hot pan and pull items from the oven as well.

Fine tips pick up a single leaf or a slice of radish, and the long arms give reach across a large plate or into a deep pan. The spring opens the tongs on its own, so the hand only has to close them. On a buffet line, they serve garnishes and small items neatly.

They also turn delicate shrimp and pull bay leaves from a simmering stock.

For shorter work, the F. Dick 5-inch fish bone tweezers double as a fine plating tool. A small offset spatula such as the ProDynamic 5-inch offset spatula lifts portions onto the plate. The table below compares F. Dick forks and tongs.
