Vollrath VersaGrip 9.5" Tongs Colour-Coded Set of 6

This set of six Vollrath VersaGrip tongs provides a practical, ready-to-use colour-coding solution for commercial kitchens operating under HACCP controls. Each pair measures 9.5 inches and is constructed from a single piece of stainless steel, removing the joints and crevices where food debris tends to collect. The set includes one pair each in black, blue, red, yellow, tan and green, allowing kitchens to designate specific tongs to specific food groups or preparation areas without relying on memory or labelling.

In a busy service environment, these tongs hold up well under continuous use. The one-piece stainless construction means there are no springs to weaken or lose tension over time, and the flat serrated tips give a reliable grip on a wide range of food types — from portioning proteins to plating garnishes. The Kool-Touch handle material resists heat transfer during normal cooking and serving tasks, which reduces fatigue during long service periods.

Key practical points worth noting:

• Springless design eliminates a common failure point and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• No food traps — dishwasher-safe and straightforward to clean manually
• Six distinct colours support clear HACCP zone separation without additional marking
• Handle material carries natural antimicrobial properties, relevant where hygiene standards are closely monitored
• One-piece stainless construction handles repeated high-temperature use without distortion

These tongs are well suited to most commercial kitchen sizes and service styles — from small café kitchens looking for a basic colour-coding setup to larger operations standardising their smallwares across multiple prep sections. If you need longer reach for grill or oven work, or a heavier-gauge option for very high-volume sites, it is worth considering whether a different size or format would serve better.

If you are putting together a broader smallwares or HACCP programme and want a second opinion on what works well in practice, the team is happy to help.
