This review is from: Calphalon Complements Nylon Tongs (Kitchen)
These are nylon but do have a nice silicon grip so you won't easily drop them. They could use a reinforcement to make them stronger but these aren't meant to be used for heavy duty cooking, they're mainly to protect the finish on your Circulon pans which is why I bought them. For heavy-duty jobs, I have some el-cheapo metal tongs that work great - three pairs of them in fact.
As for the melting, yes, like any nylon tool, direct contact with very hot surfaces will melt them.
I like them for their intended use and would recommend them.

Calphalon Complements Nylon Tongs,

This review is from: Calphalon Complements Nylon Tongs (Kitchen)
I purchased this thinking it would go with my Calphalon One Nonstick Cookware and also along with my other Calphalon utensils. Little did I know that this is not the high quality, sturdy pair of tongs that I had expected it to be, considering it's made from Calphalon. When you press the handles together to pick up something, the handles bend outwards making it very hard to grab onto something. I am probably going to buy those other popular pair of tongs which I see all the chef's using on Food Network.
