Review: Buy this if you actually care about your food. - I use this to pick the the tiny white things stuck to eggs for my creme brulee. My creme brulee have to be flawless after baking 100+ and my trusty plating tongs help so well. Good size for my giant hands, very durable and great quality as indicated from the clicketly clackity tong test. Cute appearance and great for cooking.
Review: Buying a second pair, love them. - I use these daily, have the straight pair, 6 inch I believe. They hold their shape very well, clean easily, and are a usable size for many things. Very sturdy but in a good way, they won’t bend out of shape easily. Easy to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tweeze me with precision
*by D***N on February 4, 2015*

Mercer is just a great brand for "foodies" like me who cook 6 nights a week. Thursday's are "Chef's Night Off." I do take-out. Great quality, really great for small herbs for precision placement. Excellent control. These will get five stars and a "shameless endorsement" from a foodie, who is not yet a chef. -David Allen
