ABSTRACT:
Tongs particularly adapted for removal of toasts, English muffins, and the like from electric toasters and having a pair of fingers made of flexible insulating material, such as thin laminar wood similar to a conventional tongue depressor, each secured adjacent to an end thereof to a spacer and mounting member, such as a wooden dowel. One of the fingers being fixedly secured as by a brad and glue to one side of the spacer and mounting member, and the other finger being tightly rotatably mounted on the opposite side of the spacer and mounting member. One or both of the fingers, and preferably all sides of the stated other finger, are formed with roughened surfaces, as by an emery coating applied thereto, extending from adjacent to and slightly from the mounting member to the outer end of the finger, thereby providing for exerting a firmer engagement and pressure thereon for more securely gripping an object and also adapted to be used for scraping surfaces and edges of toasts to remove overly-darkened or burned parts of toasts, muffins, and the like.
