Winco Tongs
Tongs are one of the most frequently grabbed tools in any commercial kitchen, and having the right style and the right weight for each application makes a real difference in how efficiently your team works through service. At Nishi Enterprise, our Winco Tongs collection brings together 79 stainless steel tongs across five distinct categories, covering standard utility tongs in three weight classes, locking ring tongs, color-coded PP handle tongs, silicone grip and tip tongs, allergen-free purple handle tongs, and the Winco Prime NSF-certified silicone handle series, in lengths from 7 inches up to 16 inches. Whether you are turning kebabs on a charbroiler, plating on the line, or running a HACCP-compliant kitchen, there is a Winco tong in this collection built for that specific job.
Standard Utility Tongs: Three Weight Classes
Winco's standard all-stainless utility tong series is available in three construction weights, giving you the right feel for each task. For light-duty applications and front-of-house service where a gentle, precise grip matters most, the medium weight 0.6mm series includes the UT-9LT 9.5" at $1.29, UT-12LT 12" at $1.76, and UT-16LT 16" at $1.97. The most popular everyday option is the heavyweight 0.9mm series, offering a solid feel at an affordable price point. These include the UT-7 7" at $1.61, UT-9 9" at $1.94, and UT-16 16" at $2.87. For the heaviest daily use where maximum durability is the priority, the extra heavyweight 1.2mm series covers the UT-9HT 9" at $2.41, UT-12HT 12" at $2.98, and UT-16HT 16" at $3.42.
Locking Ring Tongs: Easy Storage, No Tangled Drawers
For kitchens that want tongs that stay closed during storage and transport, the Winco locking ring series is a practical and affordable choice. A simple sliding ring locks the tong closed when not in use and releases instantly with one hand during service. Available in three lengths, the UTLK-7 7" at $1.87, UTLK-9 9" at $1.95, UTLK-12 12" at $2.52, and UTLK-16 16" at $2.82 are among the most affordable tongs in the entire collection.
Silicone Grip and Tip Tongs for High-Heat Stations
For cooking stations where heat resistance and a secure grip are priorities, Winco offers two silicone-enhanced tong options. The lock-clip silicone grip series features a stainless steel body with silicone-coated handles and a locking clip, available in the UTS-9K 9" at $4.27 and UTS-12K 12" at $4.86. For a silicone tip option that protects delicate food surfaces during plating and serving, the UT-7K 7" Silicone Tips and Lock Clip at $2.11 is a great pick for front-of-house and plating use.
Winco Prime NSF Silicone Handle Series: Color-Coded and NSF Certified
The Winco Prime series takes color-coded food safety to the next level with NSF-certified stainless steel tongs and soft silicone handles available in red, black, and blue in both 9.5-inch and 12-inch lengths. The 9.5-inch options include the UTSH-9R Red, UTSH-9K Black, and UTSH-9B Blue, all at $5.69. The 12-inch versions include the UTSH-12R Red, UTSH-12K Black, and UTSH-12B Blue, all at $6.45. The comfortable silicone grip reduces hand fatigue during long service periods and the color-coding helps kitchens maintain clear station separation at a glance.
Color-Coded PP Handle Tongs for HACCP Compliance
For kitchens that follow color-coded food safety protocols to separate raw proteins, cooked foods, and allergens across different stations, the Winco polypropylene handle series covers five colors including red, green, yellow, blue, and black, in 9-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch lengths. In the 9-inch format, the UTPH-9R Red, UTPH-9G Green, UTPH-9Y Yellow, UTPH-9B Blue, and UTPH-9K Black are all $4.60. In the 12-inch format, the UTPH-12R Red at $6.15 and a full color range are available. For the longest reach, the 16-inch PP handle tongs including UTPH-16R Red, UTPH-16G Green, UTPH-16Y Yellow, UTPH-16B Blue, and UTPH-16K Black are all $8.88.
Allergen-Free Purple Handle Tongs
For kitchens that need a dedicated allergen-free station separate from all other color-coded tools, the Winco allergen-free purple PP handle series provides an immediately recognizable handle color that stands apart from every other station color in the kitchen. Available in the UTPH-9P 9" at $4.64, UTPH-12P 12" at $6.20, and UTPH-16P 16" at $8.96, these are an essential addition for any kitchen that takes allergen separation seriously.
