Product Description
This set of six Vollrath Versagrip tongs provides a practical colour-coding solution for commercial kitchens operating a HACCP-based food safety programme. Each pair is 30.5cm in length and constructed from a single piece of stainless steel, removing the joints and crevices where food debris and bacteria can accumulate. The set includes black, blue, red, yellow, tan and green tongs — one for each food type or zone as your allergen and cross-contamination controls require.
The springless design is a notable practical advantage in a busy kitchen. There are no internal mechanisms to fail, no springs to fatigue with repeated use, and no hidden traps for food residue. The flat, toothed gripping ends provide a reliable hold on a wide range of food types, from portion-cut proteins to delicate garnishes. The stainless steel construction handles temperatures up to 176°C, making these tongs equally at home on the grill section, the pass, or the cold larder.
The Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant to 82°C and rated colour-safe to 107°C, so the colour identification holds up through dishwasher cycles and high-temperature service environments. Vollrath's handle material also carries all-natural antimicrobial properties, which is a useful additional line of defence in high-throughput kitchens.
- Six-colour set supports immediate visual identification by food type or zone
- Springless construction eliminates a common failure point and simplifies cleaning
- Suitable for both cooking and serving applications across a wide temperature range
- Dishwasher safe and straightforward to audit during hygiene checks
These tongs are well suited to any kitchen where HACCP colour-coding is in place — from contract catering and care homes to hotel banqueting and school kitchens. If your operation requires a shorter or longer reach, or a specialised grip profile for a particular application, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the stainless steel construction is rated to 176°C, so they are appropriate for direct grill use as well as serving and plating. The Kool-Touch handle provides a safe grip at elevated ambient temperatures, though care should be taken to avoid prolonged direct contact with open flame.
- The handle colour is rated safe up to 107°C, which covers the wash and rinse cycles of most commercial glasswashers and dishwashers. Heavy daily cycles over an extended period may cause gradual fading, but under normal service conditions the colours remain distinct and identifiable for routine HACCP auditing.
- Springless tongs require the operator to squeeze to open rather than to close, which suits high-frequency repetitive tasks and tends to reduce hand fatigue over a long service. The absence of a spring also means there is no mechanism to corrode, weaken, or harbour residue — a practical advantage in kitchens with rigorous cleaning regimes.
