Review: Perfect to garnish! - Perfect line cooks/chef who use herbs and flowers on dishes. Sleek and comfortable! Love it! I use them every day. Mercer never fails 🫶
Review: TOP NOTCH QUALITY - I purchased the Mercer Culinary Straight Precision Plus Chef Plating Tong, 11-3/4 Inch, Stainless. Yes, that’s the "Precision Plus" version. I’ve owned a few plating tweezers/tongs but this one from Mercer is top notch quality. It’s got a good weight with cross grips for easy and controlled handling. The inside tips are serrated so your food won’t fall off. The steel is stiff yet bendable enough to allow for some movement. It comes with a removable rubber notch / “ring” at the base for hanging. I don’t hang my tweezers. I just lay them flat inside my drawer or stick it in my knife block. But I’ll keep the rubber rings attached because they look cool. The Mercer tweezers makes a nice “show-off” tool when I entertain. This basically replaces my cooking chopsticks. I mainly use tweezers for noodles, zoodles (zucchini noodles), picking up/turning over small pieces of meat, chicken wings or veggies. If you need more precision then get the shorter/smaller version. But since I’m a home cook and don’t need fine plating. The 11-3/4 version works fine for me. For a few more dollars, get the "Precision Plus" version. You won’t be disappointed with these Mercer tweezers. (I’ll post photos with my review).
