Tongs

Tongs are made of many different materials and used for many things from turning food to picking up coal. The blacksmiths used them to hold their metal when firing to make horseshoes and knives and such, but the main use of these started when they made a small pair pick up foods. Tongs are made from many different materials such as:

• Wood

Tongs are versatile in many ways so you can choose which one and for what you may use it for. You can even buy ones with silicone tips to pickup coffee filters one at a time. They are ever changing and coming out with more and more uses for these little scissor-like inventions.
