Description

Kentucky Spring Salad Tongs are handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky from unstained wild cherry, sugar maple, white oak or black walnut. They have solid brass hinge fittings, and are protected with clear mineral oil. These quality salad tongs make it easy to serve pasta, steamed vegetables, hot bread and salads with one hand.


These are steamed wood springs. Steam heat and pressure have been used for centuries to bend wood into useful shapes like chair backs or musical instruments. Each pair of tongs is hand steamed and bent into shape until cool to create the distinctive springs. These springs keep the tongs open for the user, and allow tongs to fold flat for storage. Seven available.

Special Instructions

Handwash only. Avoid boiling water.
