Why this tong earns its place
The workhorse tong: neutral tan handles, 12″ length, built for the stations where you need reach without sacrificing food safety. Vollrath's Versagrip Utility Grip Kool Touch Tongs are the tool that gives you control on service lines, in deep hotel pans, and across buffet setups — whether you're serving bread, vegetables, pasta, or any function food that isn't designated raw or hot.
The springless design eliminates bacteria traps entirely. Traditional tongs hide food particles and pathogens in the spring mechanism; you can sanitise them endlessly and never fully remove contamination. This design solves that problem by removing the trap. Combined with 12-gauge stainless steel that resists rust and corrosion, you get a tool that actually gets clean.
The Kool Touch handles stay cool to the touch up to 82°C, so you can work directly with hot foods without discomfort or equipment failure. They're treated with all-natural antimicrobial protection and knurled for grip even when your hands are wet from the service environment. At 163 grams, they're still light enough for all-shift use without hand fatigue — the 12″ length does the work so your hand doesn't have to.
