 expert reviews
 this is our stainless steel mercer
 tweezer kit it comes with two of them
 we have our bigger pair and then we also
 have our small
 hair for more intricate plating styles
 my favorite part about it is
 it&amp;#39;s entry level production but it&amp;#39;s
 still just top top quality and the fact
 that it is american brand
 it&amp;#39;s heavy duty it&amp;#39;s gonna last you a
 lifetime
 the bigger ones they can replace your
 standard tongs you can grill everything
 on it i can really just get deep into
 that pan when i&amp;#39;m cooking i can flip
 things over i don&amp;#39;t have to worry about
 burning my fingers because
 they do have that full eight inch length
 that you can just really
 be pretty far away from the food i&amp;#39;ll
 switch to these ones whenever i need to
 do some more of the intricate platings
 with the food styling
 these are the ones you want to go to you
 can make sure you put every single
 little microgreen in the exact position
 you want it to be in
 so having products like the stainless
 steel mercer tweezer kit
 obviously you don&amp;#39;t have to worry about
 growing rust or anything of that nature
 some of those other kinds of metals they
 react a certain way with acids and
 certain
 acidic bases so the good thing about the
 stainless steel is you won&amp;#39;t have that
 you will not be tasting stainless steel
 in your food
 the positive is it&amp;#39;s not going to
 destroy your food as way the standard
 tongs that we
 traditionally would use in cooking but
 destroy if you&amp;#39;re getting a nice steak
 you&amp;#39;re not going to worry about it being
 just completely ripped up
 and you don&amp;#39;t really have to worry about
 digging into your food this is going to
 use it
 produce it and make sure it&amp;#39;s as good as
 it can possibly be
 you know these can really be put to the
 test i put these through heavy duty
 cooking they go through flames they go
 through
 all different types of cooking
 applications and so far so good still
 i&amp;#39;ve had this actually going on two
 years and you can see it still looks
 almost brand new
 the person i would say that use these
 tweezer kits is a home cook
 a professional chef like i said i&amp;#39;ve
 been using this for the past 10 years or
 so
 this specific pair for the past three
 years maybe
 so yeah anybody who likes to cook i
 would definitely recommend these to you
 you
