Do You Make This Common Kitchen Tool Mistake?

I’ve been cooking for over 30 years and I feel like an idiot admitting this, but WHO KNEW (um, not me) that the appropriate length tongs make all the difference? (You probably knew this, right?)

A little backstory: Garry’s parents are downsizing and in the purging process much of the kitchen stuff was offered for the kids to take, if they wanted.

I took (among other things) the small tongs. After I got them home, I wondered if I’d ever use them – cause they are 7″ small – while my go-to tongs are the big 12″ ones.

Funny thing happened after I used them for the first time – I realized I had been making my cooking life harder by always using the big ones AND I will go as far as saying they are now my favorite tongs.

What was I thinking?

Ever heard of the saying: Use the right tool for the job?

Well, all these years I was making the mistake of using the wrong GIANT tool for most of the SMALL jobs.

Not anymore, baby!

I love these.
