ABSTRACT:
Food handling tongs having a first arm and a second arm, each of which includes a front end, a rear end and a middle portion, and pivotally connected to one another in a scissors-like manner. A bottom plate is attached to an upper surface of the first arm and a top plate is attached to the lower surface of the second arm whereby the top and bottom plates move toward and away from one another as the food handling tongs are moved between open and closed positions. A plurality of parallel rows of serrated teeth are formed on an inner surface of the top and bottom plates. Each row of teeth extends between a pair of opposed sides of each plate. The rows are positioned one after the other from a front end of the plates to a rear end of the plates. The rear end of each arm includes a looped handle member which forms a finger receiving opening. A coil spring extends between the first and second arms and is positioned between the pivotal connection of the arms and the handle members to bias the food handling tongs towards the closed position.
