Winco UTLK-16 16" Stainless Steel Utility Tong | Locking Ring

The Winco UTLK-16 is a 16" heavy-duty stainless steel utility tong with a locking ring, built for high-volume buffet operations, hotel banquet lines, and large-scale catering setups where extended reach and convenient locking storage are both essential. Constructed from 0.9mm thick stainless steel, it delivers the powerful spring tension and durability needed for continuous commercial use. At 16 inches, it provides the safe, comfortable reach required for deep hotel pans, full-size chafing dishes, and large serving containers — keeping hands away from hot surfaces while maintaining full control over portioning and service. The locking ring keeps the tong securely closed during storage and transport, preventing accidental opening in catering bags, utensil carts, and storage drawers.

The scalloped edges along the tips grip food with shallow ridges that hold portions securely without piercing or bruising — suitable for roasted proteins, pasta, vegetables, and a wide variety of large-format buffet items. Fully dishwasher safe and built without plastic components, the UTLK-16 handles daily high-temperature sanitizing cycles without degradation. Whether deployed at a hotel banquet line, institutional cafeteria, or large catered event, the Winco UTLK-16 delivers the extra reach, commercial-grade strength, and locking convenience that demanding food service operations need.
