Vollrath

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs in 16-inch green are a practical, hardwearing pair of service and cooking tongs designed for daily use in professional kitchens. Built from a single piece of stainless steel with no spring mechanism, they offer a straightforward, reliable tool for gripping, turning, and plating a wide range of foods.

In a working kitchen environment, the springless one-piece construction makes a meaningful difference. There are no joints or internal springs to trap food debris, which simplifies cleaning and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. The flat, toothed ends provide a secure grip on food without piercing it — useful across hot and cold applications alike. The Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant and provides a comfortable grip during extended service periods, with the added benefit of built-in antimicrobial properties in the handle material.

Key practical advantages include:

• Colour-coded green handle for straightforward HACCP identification
• Springless design with no food traps — quick to clean and sanitise
• One-piece stainless steel construction for long-term durability
• Flat gripper ends suit a wide range of food types and service styles
• Heat-resistant handle comfortable to use throughout busy service

The 16-inch length gives useful reach when working over hot surfaces or deep gastronorm pans, without being unwieldy. The green colour coding integrates directly into colour-coded HACCP programmes, helping kitchens maintain clear separation between food types or stations.

These tongs are well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a colour-coded food safety system. Vollrath's Versagrip range covers multiple lengths and colours, so if your operation requires a shorter or longer reach, or additional colours to complete a HACCP set, it is worth reviewing the full range before ordering.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a colour-coded utensil system, our team are happy to help you work through what you need.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a workhorse serving and cooking utensil built for professional kitchen use. The 16-inch length gives cooks safe clearance from heat sources, and the flat, toothed tips provide a reliable grip on a wide range of food items — from sliced meats and fish portions to bread rolls and garnishes.

In a busy service environment, the springless one-piece stainless steel construction is a practical advantage. There are no hinges, coils, or joints to trap food residue, which simplifies cleaning and supports HACCP compliance. The tan Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant and carries natural antimicrobial properties — a useful passive safeguard in high-traffic kitchens where utensils pass between multiple hands during a shift. The tan colour designation makes these straightforward to assign to a specific food type or section as part of a colour-coded kitchen system.

• Springless design with no food traps — easy to clean and hygienic in daily use
• Tan colour supports HACCP colour-coding protocols across kitchen sections
• Kool-Touch handle stays cool in hand and provides a secure, comfortable grip
• One-piece stainless steel construction handles both cooking and plating tasks
• Flat elongated tips with gripper teeth hold food securely without crushing

At 16 inches, these tongs suit most cooking and serving tasks. Where operators are working over deep fryers or large grills and need additional reach, or where a shorter tong would suit a compact prep station, other sizes are available within the Versagrip range.

If you are building out a colour-coded utensil set or have questions about matching tong sizes to specific stations, the team are happy to help you work through the options.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a colour-coded, one-piece stainless steel serving and cooking tong designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The yellow handle identifies this pair within a HACCP colour-coding system, helping kitchen teams maintain clear separation between food types or preparation areas without relying on memory during a busy service.

The springless design removes the most common failure point found in standard tongs and eliminates the crevices where food debris tends to collect. Flat, elongated tips with gripper teeth provide a reliable hold on a wide range of food items, from portion-controlled proteins to delicate garnishes. The Kool-Touch handle resists heat and remains comfortable to hold during extended use at the pass or on the line.

In practical terms, these tongs suit a wide range of roles in a working kitchen:

• Colour-coded handle supports HACCP food safety programmes
• Springless one-piece build has no hidden food traps
• Flat gripping tips handle both cooking and plating tasks
• Heat-resistant handle remains safe to hold during active service
• Stainless steel construction tolerates repeated dishwasher cycles

At this length, the 16-inch reach is well suited to hot line work where distance from a grill or chargrill surface matters. Shorter pairs are available for close work or front-of-house service, and the same design is offered in alternative colours to complete a full HACCP set.

If you are building out a colour-coded utensil system or want guidance on which lengths work best for your particular setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a one-piece stainless steel utensil designed for everyday use in busy commercial kitchens. The 16-inch length gives useful reach when working with hot pans, grills, or serving from gastronorm containers, while the flat elongated ends with gripper teeth allow a confident hold on a wide variety of foods.

In a working kitchen environment, reliability and hygiene come first. The springless, one-piece construction means there are no internal mechanisms to harbour food debris, and cleaning is straightforward — a practical advantage when time between service periods is limited. The stainless steel body handles high cooking temperatures well, and the Kool-Touch handle remains cool enough to grip safely during food preparation and service.

From an operational standpoint, these tongs offer several practical advantages:

• Springless design with no food traps — easy to clean and maintain to hygiene standards
• Heat-resistant handle reduces the risk of burns during fast-paced service
• Flat gripper ends provide a secure hold on awkward or slippery foods
• Red colour coding supports HACCP-compliant kitchen programmes
• One-piece stainless steel construction with a lifetime warranty behind it

The red handle colouring is well suited to kitchens running colour-coded HACCP systems, where quick visual identification by food type or allergen zone is part of daily practice. This makes them a straightforward choice for care homes, contract caterers, schools, and any operation where cross-contamination controls are taken seriously.

For lighter-use operations a shorter length may be more practical, while higher-volume kitchens handling larger cuts or deep pans may find a longer pair more appropriate. If you are equipping a full brigade or setting up a colour-coded utensil system across multiple stations, it is worth a conversation with us to make sure you have the right specification throughout.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a one-piece stainless steel utensil designed for everyday use across cooking and service. The 16-inch length keeps hands away from heat during plating and pan work, while the flat, toothed ends give a reliable grip on a wide range of food types — from portioned proteins to bread rolls and garnishes.

In a busy service environment, reliable hand tools matter more than they sometimes get credit for. These tongs are springless, which removes the common failure point found in coil-spring designs and eliminates the food traps that come with them. The Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant to 82°C and carries all-natural antimicrobial properties, which supports hygiene standards during prolonged service periods without relying solely on gloves or frequent sanitising stops.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Springless construction — no moving parts to fail or harbour debris
• Flat toothed ends for a secure, controlled grip on varied food items
• Blue colour coding supports HACCP segregation protocols at a glance
• Antimicrobial handle material as a secondary hygiene measure
• Dishwasher-safe stainless steel body with no food traps to clean around

The blue handle colour is the practical detail worth noting for kitchens running a HACCP colour-coding system. Having tongs that visually correspond to a food group or prep area reduces cross-contamination risk during fast-paced service without requiring staff to stop and check.

These tongs are well suited to most commercial kitchen environments — from pub kitchens and hotel restaurants to school catering and contract catering operations. If you are equipping a new section or replacing a set, it is worth considering whether the 16-inch length suits your workflow, or whether a shorter option would be more practical at the pass.

If you have questions about colour-coding your utensil sets or which sizes suit different stations, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a well-regarded piece of everyday kitchen smallwares — a single-piece stainless steel construction in a 16-inch length, finished in black for colour-coded identification. The flat, toothed ends provide a reliable grip across a range of food types, from portioning proteins to plating and garnishing during service.

In a busy kitchen environment, tongs take considerable punishment — repeated opening and closing, exposure to heat, regular sanitising cycles, and the occasional drop. The Versagrip's one-piece build removes the spring mechanism found in many competitor designs, which eliminates a common point of failure and removes a potential food trap. The Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant to 82°C, making it comfortable to hold during prolonged service periods where tongs are in near-constant use.

From a practical standpoint, the springless design offers a few clear advantages for commercial kitchen teams:

• No spring mechanism means no hidden debris trap and faster, more reliable cleaning
• Black handle supports HACCP colour-coding protocols for allergen and cross-contamination control
• One-piece stainless construction is robust enough for daily commercial use
• The handle carries natural antimicrobial properties, offering an additional layer of hygiene assurance
• Flat elongated tips suit a broad range of portioning, plating, and grilling tasks

These tongs are suitable for most commercial kitchen environments — from small cafés and pub kitchens through to high-volume restaurant and hotel operations. They are commonly used across grill stations, hot service lines, and cold prep areas. The 16-inch length provides useful reach over hot surfaces without being unwieldy. For operators who need a shorter reach or a different tip profile, smaller and alternative styles are available within the range.

If you're building out a colour-coded set for a HACCP programme or simply want to confirm the right tong specification for your service style, the team is happy to help.

Well suited to cafés, restaurants, catering operations, and any kitchen that runs a colour-coded food safety system. For sites that need a full set across multiple allergen or food-type categories, the Versagrip range is available in a variety of colours.

If you're building out a set of tongs for a specific kitchen setup or food safety programme, our team are happy to help you work out the right sizes and colours for your needs.

The Vollrath Versagrip flat tongs are a one-piece stainless steel utensil designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The 9.5-inch length suits most plating, cooking, and serving tasks, and the flat elongated tips with gripper teeth give a reliable hold on a range of food types without piercing or crushing.

The springless construction is one of the more practical aspects of this design. Without a coiled spring mechanism, there are no crevices for food residue to accumulate, which simplifies cleaning and supports good hygiene practice in busy kitchens. The stainless steel body handles temperatures up to 176°C, making the tongs usable directly at the cooking line as well as on the pass.

The Kool-Touch handle is heat resistant to 82°C and colour-safe to 107°C. It provides a secure, cooler grip during extended service and carries all-natural antimicrobial properties that help reduce bacterial transfer between uses.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Springless design eliminates crevices where food debris and bacteria can accumulate
• Green colour coding aligns with standard kitchen colour-coding schemes for salad and fruit
• Stainless steel construction is robust enough for repeated daily use and commercial dishwasher cycles
• The heat-resistant handle helps protect hands when working near warm serving equipment
• Lightweight at 163g, reducing hand fatigue during extended service periods

These tongs are suited to most commercial kitchens as part of a full colour-coded utensil set — particularly in operations with allergen management procedures, buffet service, or salad preparation at volume. They are not intended for high-heat cooking applications such as grilling or frying, where a higher-rated utensil would be more appropriate.

If you are building out a colour-coded utensil system or have questions about which tong sizes work best for your service style, the team is happy to help.

The Vollrath Kool Touch utility tong is a 9-inch stainless steel tong designed for everyday food preparation and service use in commercial kitchens. The tan-coloured handle is part of Vollrath's Kool Touch range, which uses handle colour to support allergen and cross-contamination control through colour-coded systems.

In a working kitchen environment, the springless design is a practical advantage. Conventional spring-loaded tongs create crevices that trap food debris and harbour bacteria, which is a particular concern in high-throughput kitchens where cleaning time is limited.

• Stainless steel build withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Lightweight at 132g, reducing hand fatigue during long service periods

These tongs are well suited to catering operations that operate a colour-coded utensil policy — common in contract catering, healthcare catering, schools, and multi-allergen restaurant environments. They are equally practical as a general-purpose serving or preparation tong in any commercial kitchen where hygiene standards are a priority.

If you are equipping a kitchen with a full colour-coded utensil set or have questions about which handle colour corresponds to which food group in your operation, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Vollrath Kool Touch tong is a stainless steel serving and plating tong designed for busy commercial kitchen use. The yellow handle identifies it specifically for use with cooked meat, making it a practical tool for kitchens operating a colour-coded utensil system to manage cross-contamination risk.

In service, the springless construction means there are no internal springs to trap food debris or harbour bacteria — a common weakness in conventional tong designs. The handle material is heat-resistant, reducing discomfort when working near hot surfaces or over hot-holding equipment, which matters during a busy lunch or dinner service when the tong is in constant use.

• Colour-coded yellow handle for cooked meat identification
• Springless design removes a common hygiene weak point
• Heat-resistant handle reduces discomfort near hot surfaces
• Stainless steel construction handles repeated cleaning cycles
• Lightweight at 163g, suited to prolonged service use

From a practical standpoint, the springless mechanism also simplifies cleaning — there are no awkward internal components to disassemble or work around when washing by hand or running through a glasswasher or dishwasher. The stainless steel construction is durable enough to withstand repeated commercial wash cycles without deterioration.

This tong is well suited to kitchens of any size that operate allergen or cross-contamination controls requiring colour-coded utensils. It is particularly useful in carvery, buffet, and plating environments where cooked meat is handled regularly. For operations needing a fuller set of colour-coded utensils, the same Kool Touch range is available in other colours for different food categories.

If you're building out a colour-coded utensil system and want to make sure you're covering the right categories for your kitchen, the team are happy to help you work through it.

These 305mm stainless steel utility tongs from Vollrath are part of the Kool Touch range, designed for colour-coded food handling in commercial kitchens. The red handles identify them as dedicated raw meat tongs, making them a practical tool for kitchens that follow allergen and cross-contamination control procedures.

The handles are heat resistant, which makes them comfortable to use when working at or near hot surfaces during a busy service. The stainless steel construction is robust enough for daily use across high-volume kitchens, and the design avoids the recessed springs and food traps common on cheaper tongs — areas where bacteria can accumulate if cleaning is rushed.

For kitchens needing a full set across food types, complementary colours in the Kool Touch range cover other categories.

If you're putting together a colour-coded utensil set or want to talk through what's needed for your kitchen's food safety setup, the team is happy to help.

The Vollrath Kool Touch tong is a 305mm stainless steel general-purpose tong fitted with a heat-resistant black handle. The Kool Touch handle is designed to remain cool and comfortable during extended use around hot surfaces, reducing hand fatigue and the risk of burns during busy service periods.

In a working kitchen, tongs take a lot of daily punishment — repeated heat exposure, frequent washing, and constant handling. The stainless steel construction holds up well under these conditions, and the springless design removes the hidden crevices that traditional sprung tongs can harbour, making cleaning more straightforward and reducing areas where bacteria can accumulate.

The black handle colour makes these tongs a practical fit for colour-coded food safety systems, helping kitchens manage allergen control and cross-contamination risks more clearly. Practical day-to-day benefits include:

• Heat-resistant handle stays comfortable near hot surfaces
• Springless design simplifies cleaning and supports hygiene
• Black handle suits colour-coded food safety protocols
• Stainless steel construction withstands repeated commercial use
• 305mm length gives useful reach without over-handling food

At 305mm, these tongs are well suited to general plating, serving, and food preparation tasks. They are not a specialist barbecue or deep-fry tong, so for very high-heat applications a dedicated heat-rated tool may be more appropriate. If you run a larger operation requiring multiple colour designations across a full tong range, it is worth considering the full Kool Touch colour set.

If you are building out a colour-coded utensil system or want to check these will fit your existing setup, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Vollrath Kool Touch tong is a 241mm stainless steel serving and plating tong fitted with a heat-resistant black handle. The Kool Touch handle is designed to stay comfortable in the hand during prolonged use, reducing the discomfort that can come from handling hot foods or working close to heat sources over a busy service.

In a working kitchen environment, tongs take a good deal of daily punishment. The stainless steel construction holds up well under repeated use and commercial dishwasher cycles, and the springless design removes the small crevices that traditional spring mechanisms create — areas that can trap food debris and become difficult to clean thoroughly. This makes the tong easier to maintain to a consistent hygiene standard, which matters where food safety compliance is taken seriously.

The black handle follows standard colour-coding practice for kitchen smallwares. Using colour-designated tongs for specific food groups — raw meat, ready-to-eat foods, allergen-sensitive preparations — is a straightforward way to support cross-contamination controls and HACCP-aligned working practices without relying on staff memory alone.

• Comfortable grip during hot food handling and plating
• Springless build reduces hidden debris traps
• Black handle supports colour-coded food safety systems
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher cleaning
• Stainless steel construction withstands daily heavy use

This tong is well suited to general food preparation, plating, and front-of-house service across most kitchen types. The 9" length works for the majority of tasks; where a longer reach is needed — over deep gastronorm containers or large serving vessels — a longer model may be more practical.
