**Use & Care**
Wash Ironwood Gourmet products in warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinse with clean water. Do not soak. To dry, prop up off of counter to allow all surfaces to air dry evenly. Wood products should never be washed in the dishwasher.
After drying, rejuvenate and protect the wood by rubbing it down with Ironwood Butcher Block Oil. Apply the oil liberally and allow it to soak in thoroughly before use. Regular application of our Butcher Block Oil will prevent cracking and preserve the rich natural colors of the wood.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013Style Name: Spring Salad TongsVerified PurchaseI've been meaning to buy a pretty set of salad tongs forever, but it's one of those things that I never think about until I need them, which I did over the recent days of Christmas. It was too late to do anything about it when we wanted them, but after everyone went home, I came to Amazon to have a look around. I saw these and thought they were perfect. They arrived this morning, and I'm very happy with them.
I love that they're made from a sustainable and renewable resource, the Acacia tree. Mine are a gorgeous dark color, which I just love. The spring mechanism is a mystery to me, I have no idea how it works, but it does! I think it's all in the brilliant cutting, shaping, and positioning of the two pieces because there's no sign of a metal spring that I can see. Of course that doesn't mean there isn't one, it could just mean that it's very well hidden.
They're finished with a very smooth surface which is lovely to touch and hold in my hand. I can see where it would be nice if they folded flat, but I just put mine in a drawer that has extra space in it (yes, I have one of those, don't know how it happened) so it's not a problem for me.
I would recommend these tongs to anyone who wants a pretty, well made, and functional set.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2012Style Name: Spring Salad TongsVerified PurchaseThis product is like what other people said. It does not lay flat in your drawer. it is a good set of tongs, either way. I wanted wooden salad tongs. That's what I got with these. I would have preferred a pair that lays flat, but I'm happy with the price and the quality. They're nice. As with all wooden kitchen products, they will dry out if you do not wash and dry them as directed. Having wood oil would be helpful in keeping them lasting and nice for a long time. I don't think it's absolutely necessary though.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018Style Name: Spring Salad TongsVerified PurchaseLove these! Great for what I wanted them for...my salad. Nice lightweight but sturdy. Open wide. Grab great. Not like the ugly stainless steel ones that sometimes mess up or you have to push the button ... not anymore.
Spring loaded and nice looking. The regular tongs are fine for the barbecue but not for salad. Whichever bowl you use (doesn't have to be wooden) they look nice.
To me its the ease that makes these work for my household.
I hand wash and oiled lightly when I first got them. I won't use them on meat. But thats just my preference. You could.
Great tongs.
