Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Tongs 11.5-inch

Indestructible Composite Grip: Safe on Nonstick, Tested for the Line

Uncompromising Non-Scratch Control for Demanding Kitchens

Standard utility tongs present an immediate dilemma in busy kitchens: stamped stainless steel edges gouge expensive PTFE coatings and strip delicate seasoning off carbon steel skillets, while cheap silicone and consumer nylon tongs warp, melt, or split at the spring hinge under heavy line use. The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Tongs (SKU: 112425) solve this challenge through advanced material science. Formed in France from Matfer's proprietary Duolon polyamide composite material, these 11.5-inch tongs provide rigid structural stability and precision grasping power without a single sharp edge or metallic contact point.

Whether you are flipping delicate skin-on Dover sole fillets in a ceramic skillet, rotating searing chicken breasts in a commercial sauteuse, or plating long strands of pasta directly from high-heat boiling water, Exoglass delivers relentless durability. It withstands continuous operational temperatures up to 430°F (220°C), resisting thermal degradation, softening, and warping even when rested momentarily against hot pan rims.

Monobloc Hygiene Built for High-Volume Service

Commercial health inspections demand strict cross-contamination control. Standard locking tongs feature coiled internal metal springs and overlapping slide rivets that trap raw animal proteins, coagulated grease, and dish machine rinse water. The Matfer Bourgeat 112425 eliminates mechanical failure points entirely with its seamless, one-piece molded monobloc form. Certified by France's NF hygiene standards and fully dishwasher safe, the continuous composite body features no crevices for bacterial colonization.

At 11.5 inches in total length with a 3.25-inch maximum grip profile, these tongs offer the ideal balance between hand clearance and tactile responsiveness. The natural spring-back tension of the polyamide structure is calibrated to reduce hand fatigue during 10-hour prep marathons, giving culinary professionals and serious home cooks instant, non-slip manipulation of delicate ingredients.
