It’s often the small, frequently used tools that define the workflow of a service, and this Steelite tong is a perfect example. It has a lovely balance in the hand—not flimsy, but not clunky either.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Top-Tier Feel: The 18/10 steel feels reassuringly solid and looks superb on display.
- Classic Design: Lacks a locking mechanism, so they don't store as compactly as some modern tongs.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand View Hotel in the Lake District decided to overhaul their breakfast buffet presentation. They were using a mismatched collection of worn-out utensils that undermined the high-quality image of their establishment and were looking for a uniform, premium solution.
"We needed something that looked the part but could also handle constant daily use. These Steelite tongs are fantastic. They feel sturdy, they gleam after every wash, and our guests have even commented on how much smarter the whole buffet looks. It's the little details that count."
Michael Edwards – Food & Beverage Manager
The switch to a cohesive set of Steelite utensils led to a marked improvement in buffet presentation and a more professional guest experience.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before the first use, give the tongs a quick wash in warm, soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent any water spots.
- That's it! They are now ready for immediate service.
Keeping Them Perfect
- These tongs are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and easy cleaning.
- To protect the beautiful polished finish, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads.
- If water spots appear after washing, a quick polish with a microfibre cloth will restore their shine.
- Store them in a dry cutlery drawer or utensil holder to keep them in top condition.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Does '18/10 Stainless Steel' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You see '18/10 stainless steel' mentioned a lot with premium catering equipment, but what is it? The numbers simply refer to the metal's composition: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The chromium is the key ingredient for fighting rust and corrosion, while the nickel adds extra toughness and gives the steel its brilliant, silver-like shine. Think of it like a top-quality winter coat. The chromium is the tough, waterproof outer layer that protects against the elements (like acidic dressings or salty foods), while the nickel is the luxurious, durable lining that also makes it look fantastic. This combination means your Steelite 178mm serving tong won't just look great on day one, but will resist staining and pitting for years of reliable service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: An excellent choice for breakfast buffets, condiment stations, and afternoon tea service where presentation matters.
- Cafés & Delis: The ideal Folio Bryce buffet tong for customers selecting cakes, pastries, or items from a salad bar.
- Event & Mobile Caterers: A durable and easily transportable Steelite Folio serving utensil for weddings, parties, and corporate functions.
- Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for presenting garnishes, serving bread baskets, or as part of a sharing platter setup at the table.
