Why this tong earns its place
The 9-inch Vollrath Utility Grip Kool Touch in green is the detail tool for vegetable and fruit prep. At 241mm, it's nimble enough for plating garnishes, working inside tight prep bowls, and handling small items with precision. The green colour code tells your team instantly: salad and fruit only. That colour-coding system is how professional kitchens prevent cross-contamination without needing to think about it.
The springless design removes the hidden trap that ordinary tongs create. Where a spring usually sits, there's nothing but clean stainless steel. No harbourage for bacteria, no compromise on food safety. The gripping action is built into the tong's natural tension—simpler, safer, more reliable.
The handles are antimicrobial material that stays cool to touch even during continuous use, and they're rated to 82°C so you can work through service without burning your hand. At 132g, it's light and responsive in your hand—perfect for all-shift use at the plating station or during intensive vegetable prep. Stainless steel construction shrugs off hundreds of dishwasher cycles.
