Bamboo Kitchen Tongs
Bamboo Kitchen Tongs
12" | 100% Sustainable Bamboo | Non-Stick Safe | Heat-Resistant | Biodegradable | Plastic-Free
The kitchen tong that works at the stove and belongs on the table.
At 12 inches, these are the everyday kitchen tongs — the length that works for flipping vegetables in a sauté pan, turning proteins, serving pasta, or grabbing toast without reaching too close to a hot burner. The smooth bamboo finish is lightweight in the hand and flexible enough to grip without crushing, while firm enough to hold food securely. The solid tip design works across every use case from stovetop to serving — a true all-purpose tong that handles the full range of what a kitchen tong is asked to do.
Made from 100% sustainable bamboo — naturally harder than most hardwoods, heat-resistant, and completely safe on non-stick, ceramic, and enamel cookware where metal tongs scratch and strip. No plastic, no synthetic coating, biodegradable from end to end. The straightforward replacement for the plastic tong that eventually melts near the burner or leaves a mark on a non-stick pan. Shipped plastic-free.

Native Manor Note: The plastic kitchen tong is one of the most common single-material swaps in the kitchen — used daily, replaced regularly, and always ending up in landfill. The Bamboo Switch 12" tong handles everything a kitchen tong is asked to do — stovetop, serving, toaster — without the melting risk near heat, without scratching non-stick surfaces, and without the plastic. The length and solid tip make it the all-purpose version; the Slotted Tongs are available for liquid drainage when needed.
