My wife brought home a pair of bamboo toast tongs from a “Pampered Chef” housewares party, and I’ve been surprised at how useful they are. We have a standard toaster, and also make homemade bread in small pans. I hadn’t realized how many times I’d been burning myself on the toaster or what a hassle removing smaller slices had been until I started using these.
I guess I find the concept more useful than any particular implementation as I imagine that the adept use of chopsticks would serve the same function.
[Note: Other commenters have pointed out a plethora of uses for a good pair of tongs in the comments at Cool Tools. — OH]
