Grab the ingredients on behalf of your fingertips. I tried a product called "Yubisaki Tongs" developed by Oaks.
Tongs won the "2013 Hit Product Best 30 / Local Hit Award" by Nikkei Trendy (Nikkei BP). It has a soft springiness due to its unique processing, and it can be used naturally with a "feeling like your own finger". When I actually bring it with me, it certainly feels like it fits in with the movement of my hand. It's small (outer dimensions: about 147 x H45 mm), so I didn't even have a small hand.
The objects to grab are raw meat and fish that you do not want to come into direct contact with, garlic with a strong odor, and hot fried food. The unique shape makes you feel uncomfortable at first, but you can use it comfortably because you can hold it firmly with little force. Since it draws a curve toward the tip, it is also a point that it can be placed directly on the table after use. It seems that you can prevent the loss of small time during cooking because you do not have to worry about where to put it.
"Yubisaki tongs" that you can easily grasp both large and small ingredients and feel safe in terms of hygiene. It is also useful for sorting salads, so if you like cooking, why not try it? The direct sales price is 1,404 yen (tax included).
