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.

These large bamboo tongs are highly praised for being "very sturdy" and working "great for catering needs." Customers love the nontoxic, single-piece design without glue. While many find them elegant and versatile, some note stiffness requiring adjustment and a learning curve for gripping smaller foods. A few reported breakage issues and noted they're thinner than previous versions.

Cooking can sometimes feel like

Cooking can sometimes feel like a sacred ritual linking us to hundreds of thousands of years of refining recipes until they become sophisticated and perfect. Using timeless yet straightforward tools takes this feel even further. Thank you, Bambu, for making these tools.

Hey there, Fabrice, for such a great review. We're glad you're new kitchen goodies!

Worth it

I was skeptical since they are bamboo but they work amazing once you get used to them. It is a slight learning curve to grip smaller foods while frying

Definitely order

I love these: I researched nontoxic kitchen utensils, and came across these! It is a single piece of bamboo, and they do not use any glue! Great way to keep me in my family healthy. Definitely recommend all of their products. Will be ordering more products soon.

Hello Jenna! We're so glad you love our bamboo utensils. Thank you for your kind and thorough review.

So many uses

I love the length of these. I have been using them to grab things when I am busy cooking and will incorporate them into my cooking routines too. They are a great extension of your hands... the other day something fell out of a pan and was getting burned in the oven. I used these to snag that item from the bottom of the oven without burning ME. These are flexible yet solid. I really like them.

Very nice product!

This is a very well made and elegant product. It has a slightly different tension but you get used to it quickly. It is thoughtfully designed and smartly built. Recommended!

Thank you for your reviews! We really appreciate them

They are a favorite around the office too. Thank you for your review, Marlene!

Janine F.
love them

loves these. I had first pair for over 5 years and use them for everything. The main thing I like to use them for is cutting my eggs to lightly scramble them, stirring vegetables, meat, or potatoes while cooking in my skillets and there's no need to worry about scratching a pan. plus you can pick up food and serve with them. My only negative comment would be that my previous pair were a bit thicker and these are a bit thinner and they have more of a popsicle stick texture to them.

Hi Janine,
Thank you for your reviews! We use all sizes of the tongs for so many things, they are quite versatile.

As expected

No thanks!

I ordered on 4/17 and cancelled because I still haven't received my order. Now I am waiting for a refund to my credit card.
Considering I ordered two small items shipping should not take this long. Very disappointing service.

Hi there! I'm so sorry you didn't receive your order.. We shipped your order 2 days after receiving it but USPS seems to have lost it. We issued you a refund on Friday following your email to us. Please let us know if we can help with anything else!

I was hoping the tongs

I was hoping the tongs were narrow but even though they are wider than I was hoping, they’re still great!

Tongs

I have bamboo tongs I have used for years, not Bambu. I found these and gave as gifts for Xmas this year. Broke the first time my gift receipiant had them in his hands! Design flaw: the base piece is too wide; tongs are too stiff, and are thus prone to breakage. My long lasting pair of life tongs has a .1.5 cm wide base piece, while the Bambu has a 3 cm base piece.

HI Deb, I'm sorry to hear that your tongs broke. That's disappointing! We really appreciate your feedback and I've passed on your input to our production team to see about improving our design. If you purchased them through our website we would be happy to issue you a refund or a replacement. Just let us know! Our apologies for the disappointing product experience.

Wouldn’t buy again

After looking at other reviews, my thought is that my experience is not the normal. Very stiff, articulation is low, and after about two weeks they broke (one of the longer tong pieces separated from the other pieces it is laminated to). I would not personally buy again.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the tongs you received. That's definitely out of the ordinary. If you would like us to issue you a refund or send out a replacement, please let us know. We would be happy to help!

I had a small pair

I had a small pair but was constantly wishing they were longer, so when I saw the large size I was so happy. Extremely useful.

We're thrilled you're enjoying your lightweight 12' bambooTongs, The uses are endless. We appreciate you choosing bambu!

Some tong wrong

They are ok but a little hard to handle...see what I did there? Handle. They are ok. I wish they closed a little easier. They are made well

Thank you for the feedback! The product is a sturdy material and when fresh out of the package it can be a bit stiff, with time it should become more easy to handle!

I use these everyday,nice size and work great for and task.

Thank you for your five-star review and positive feedback! We're happy to hear you use your bamboo tongs daily and that they work great for your needs!

Stiff

Need a kungfu grip to squeeze these things. My wife and Mom in law don't use them. I changed my cooking utensils to Bambu and like the quality of everything they sent, but these are tough to use. I'll need something more pliable for cooking.

Thank you for your feedback and review and we're sorry to hear the large tongs are tough to use. We recommend squeezing more toward the middle as it requires less force to clamp the tong. Also, the smaller tongs seem to be a bit more pliable in case you're interested in a replacement. We'll forward your comments to the rest of the bambu team!

It Just Feels Good!

It just feels good... every time I look at the utensils container by the stove... every time I use utensils from Bambu... it just feels good. Not only do they look great, but to know the bamboo was planted, harvested and crafted in an earth loving, eco sensitive way... it makes me feel like my dollars are taking part supporting people and businesses who care. Thank you for what you do!!

Thanks for the five star review! We strive to assure that our products are eco-friendly and are so excited to know that you appreciate that!

So So

The tangs did not align so picking something up is almost impossible. Also, this is the second pair of these I have purchased. This newer pair is thinner than the previous. The previous were much better built and manufactured. Nout sure I will ever buy bamboo products again.

Hi - can you please provide the widths of the tongs? It appears to be narrower (tapered) at the end, and widens out towards the other end. What are these widths in inches?

Kaci

Hi! Thank you for writing in. At their widest point the tongs are 18mm and the opposite end is 11mm.
