12-Inch Stainless Steel Utility Tong
The Winco UT-12 is a 12-inch serving tong made from .9mm stainless steel for commercial foodservice use. It suits chefs and catering staff who need a durable tool for salad bars, buffets and busy kitchen lines. The coiled spring mechanism provides consistent tension during repeated service. Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleanup after high-volume shifts.
Spring tension and jaw capacity limits
The heavy-duty coiled spring delivers reliable return action but offers a fixed resistance that cannot be adjusted for delicate items. Jaw capacity is 1 inch, so the tongs cannot securely grip large or bulky portions. Scalloped edges improve hold on slippery foods yet may tear fragile greens if pressure is excessive. Overall length of 1.5 inches restricts reach into deep hotel pans.
Build quality and daily handling
.9mm stainless steel resists bending and corrosion under daily commercial loads. The spring is built for long-lasting durability through thousands of cycles. Scalloped jaws maintain grip on wet or oily foods without slipping. Dishwasher-safe finish withstands high-temperature sanitising without degradation. Steel handles conduct heat, so caution is needed when working near steam or hot surfaces.
