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 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!
Does the job.
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
Works great
These are very sturdy and have been my new go to utensil
Works great for our catering needs.
Thank you for your review, Jessica!
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.
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.
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
I love these tongs! They are so easy to use and elegantly styled.
They are a favorite around the office too. Thank you for your review, Marlene!
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.
Replacing a well used one
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 were narrow but even though they are wider than I was hoping, they’re still great!
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.
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 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!
I have been looking for stir fry bamboo tongs for quite some time. These are great.
Thank you for your 5 star review! Hope you enjoy cooking stir fry for years with your new tongs!
Perfect for tossing salads, flipping items in a sauté pan, or to reach things on a top shelf!
Thank you for your 5 star review!
Fell in love with these by watching insta stories on Jennifer Fisher's instagram and I LOVE them!
Thank you for your review and tell Jennifer thank you as well!
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!
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... 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!
I love these. I own a chocolate Company and use them to allow customers to sample the chocolate. Even my customers comment on the look and feel of these tongs. Highly recommend.
They broke before I ever got a chance to use them.
Haven't really had a chance to use them much. But they seem durable.
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.
My brother asked for these items for Christmas and gave me this web site. I purchased them and gave them to him. He was very pleased.
Nice product - well priced and good feel.
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?
Hi! Thank you for writing in. At their widest point the tongs are 18mm and the opposite end is 11mm.
