Are you tired of the splatter from flipping greasy foods? Not being able to flip foods easily with a standard set of tongs? Fusion Brands has encountered these common cooking problems (plus others) and then set out to develop a solution: the Fingertongs. Yes, they are actually tongs that you wear on your hands! These finger tongs are rated for use up to 500 degrees and simply put are supposed to help you flip and handle food while avoiding finger burns.
Fusion Brands is an Atlanta-based company with a motto of "You need it. We design it." Their selection of products range from a magnetic towel hook to a silicone poaching tool to a vertical ice tray. The Fusion Brands Fingertongs are designed to be heat-resistant while providing easy and controlled flipping of food. Fusion Brands rates this product for temperatures up to 500°F, is made up FDA-approved silicone, is ambidextrous, and is dishwasher safe. The food-safe silicone is also non-stick and flexible. At this time, Fusion Brands currently has a US patent pending against the design of the Fingertongs. Below is a brief video courtesy of Fusion Brands that demonstrates this product.
