Tongs are a kitchen tool used for picking up and turning food items while cooking. They are designed with two arms that are connected at one end and open and close like scissors. Tongs are usually made of metal, plastic, or silicone and come in a variety of sizes and styles.
From Wikipedia
Tongs are a type of tool used to grip and lift objects, often too hot to hold, instead of holding them with the hands. There are many forms of tongs adapted to their specific use. Design variations include resting points so that the working end of the tongs does not come into contact with a bench surface.
