Care of Wood Tongs
Wood tongs should only be hand washed with mild soap and water. Hand dry after washing. Never soak tongs in water and never place tongs in a dishwasher.
Apply food grade mineral oil to your tongs frequently, at least once a month.
If you ever nick, dent, or cut your tong, a sanding with fine grain sandpaper followed by a fresh coat of mineral oil can usually do wonders.
