When properly cared for, your bamboo kitchen utensils can last for years to come (in fact, our founders have a set that has been in use since 2003). Follow these tips for best results:

  • Hand wash in hot, soapy water, then wipe dry
  • Revive the natural shine of your bamboo utensils with an all-natural oil
  • Smooth away any signs of wear by lightly sanding your utensils with a fine grain sandpaper
  • Not recommended for dishwasher or prolonged soaking
  • Not recommended for use in the microwave

We recommend using Bambu Finishing Oil to care for your bamboo. For more care and cleaning information, read our Bamboo Utensil Care 101 blog post.

Want to know just how long your bamboo utensils can last? Read this.

At Bambu, everything we make is designed with its end-of-life in mind. By choosing plant-based, renewable materials, we’ve ensured that a clean life cycle is possible for every Bambu product.

With proper care, our hand-finished utensils can last for decades. Even when you may think your utensils are on their way out, remember that bamboo can be completely refinished. After a light sanding and some finishing oil, you’ll be amazed by how refreshed they look. To learn exactly how to care for and refinish your utensils, explore our utensil care guide.

Our bamboo utensils are 100% certified USDA Biobased certified. That means these utensils can be safely discarded with yard debris. We recommend checking with your local service center to ensure that they accept this item. If it’s not accepted locally, consider using a service such as Ridwell to properly dispose of this item.

Customers praised these small bamboo tongs as "the absolute Best" for versatile kitchen tasks including toaster use, delicate cooking, and stir fries. Shoppers loved the non-toxic, durable construction and thin design. However, some found them stiff with "too much resistance" to operate, requiring adjustment.

The Perfect Tongs!!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE these tongs - they are perfect!!!!! Besides no forever chemicals or plastics on them - they work like a dream. We use our tongs for everything from pulling noodles apart, toast out of the toaster, stir fries, flipping steak and chicken - the list is endless for what you can use these tongs for :). We love the small size so much that we have the larger size as well.

Best quality bamboo tong

I have used these tongs for the toaster. They are beautifully constructed. I’ve had mine for over 10 years. I looked for them on Amazon and found so many bad reviews for this type of product. I figured why buy something that could fall apart when the Bambu products are so beautifully constructed to last so I found their website and ordered one for everyone in my family and a back up incase I misplace mine.

Thank you for your thoughtful reviews, Heather! We really appreciate them and love hearing you love our products as much as we do

Nice thin tong blades

Shipment arrived promptly and the quality of the product seems very good. We searched everywhere for a pair with thin tongs like these that would work in smaller toaster slots. These are perfect. Thanks!

I need to get used

I need to get used to them. They are a bit stiff.

Thank you for your review, Roberta! Our Tongs are definitely unique; holding them a bit lower generally works best.

Not impressed.

Good quality but wish I would have gotten the bigger size. For 9” these seem small and they have way to much resistance to use.

Well-made tongs

I bought two of these to replace two sets of slightly smaller tongs, one lost and one broken. These are beautifully made and sturdier, and I expect they will last a long time.

Bambu Toaster Tongs

I love these tongs. They are well made, durable, and a great design - very functional and beautiful! I had a cheaper version for a while and it just wasn't the same. I went out of may way to find these tongs.

Close but no cigar

SInce I love a several-year-old pair of 7" bambu tongs and realized I could use them for Chinese instead of chopsticks, I ordered two new ones. The design has changed and they disappointed me. The tongs are built up further apart and take about twice as much force to pinch as the old one. Indeed, one of the pairs snapped on me while I pinched about half way up. Do they vary a lot or did the design change? I ran a test, putting the old and then the new tong on a kitchen scale. It took a force of 640 grams on the tip to close the old tongs and 1040 grams to close the new ones. I'd gladly buy a few more if they will close with a 640 gram weight. Ken Moore.
