Stainless steel braai tongs are a fantastic choice for any braai enthusiast, particularly for their durability, hygiene, and functionality. In this article, our experts share why stainless steel braai tongs are the best type of tongs and why it's a worthy investment!
Durability and Resistance to Rust
Stainless steel is renowned for its strength and resistance to corrosion. This makes stainless steel braai tongs ideal for use outdoors and under rigorous conditions of high heat and exposure to the elements. They are less likely to degrade or rust over time than tongs made from other materials, such as aluminum.
Heat Resistance
Stainless steel braai tongs can withstand high temperatures without melting, bending, or breaking. This feature is particularly important when managing hot coals and turning meat on the grill or grid.
Hygiene and Easy Maintenance
Stainless steel is non-porous and food grade, which means it doesn’t harbor bacteria and germs as easily as other materials might and is safe to cook food with. It’s also incredibly easy to clean. A quick scrub can remove grease and food particles without any hassle.
Precision and Control
The rigidity of stainless steel allows for precise control when flipping or moving food. This is crucial when you’re cooking meats to specific levels of doneness or handling delicate foods that might fall apart if not handled gently.
