At 9 inches, it offers a versatile working length that handles everything from serving pasta and roasted vegetables to plating proteins and tossing salads. The all-stainless construction makes it equally suitable for high-heat applications where PP-handled tongs aren't appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully dishwasher safe and built without any plastic components, the UT-9 handles repeated sanitizing cycles without degradation. The spring-loaded mechanism maintains consistent tension through heavy daily use, while the smooth stainless finish is easy to wipe down and keep clean during service.
