Culinary Tweezers & Tongs

Chefs plate with tweezers because nothing else gives that kind of control. JB Prince tweezers are our own line: fine-tip straight, offset, and curved tweezers in lengths up to 12 inches, a three-piece plating set, and the tweezer tong, which has a tweezer’s precision in a tong’s grip. Our tweezers come in classic stainless steel and in colors, including black, blue, gold, oil slick, silver, and copper, to keep a station organized or to stand out. Alongside them we stock fish bone tweezers, silicone-tipped tweezers for sautéing, and kitchen tongs from small to heavy duty and high heat. Also called chef’s tweezers or culinary tweezers.

FAQs

1.What are cooking tweezers used for in a professional kitchen?

Cooking tweezers, also known as chef’s tweezers or culinary tweezers, are essential tools for precision plating, turning delicate foods, and garnishing dishes with finesse. They're ideal for tasks like handling microgreens, searing proteins, and placing small ingredients accurately on the plate.

2. What is the difference between tweezer tongs and traditional kitchen tongs?

Tweezer tongs are designed for precision tasks, offering a slim, controlled grip perfect for plating and handling small or delicate items, while traditional kitchen tongs are typically larger and better suited for flipping or moving bulkier foods. For detailed work, we recommend trying our Curved Extra Fine Tip Tweezer.

3. Are Professional tweezers dishwasher safe?

Many cooking tweezers made from stainless steel are generally safe to clean in a dishwasher. However, it is important to follow the specific care instructions provided for each product. Tweezers with special coatings or finishes may require handwashing to maintain their color over time.

4. What size tweezers should I get for food plating?

The ideal tweezer size depends on your specific task. 8- to 12-inch kitchen tweezers are popular among chefs for plating, grilling, or sautéing, while smaller options are better for garnishing or pastry decoration. View our variety of lengths, including the 3-piece plating tweezer set.
