Dreamfarm Clongs 9″ – Silicone Kitchen Tongs

Clever little tongs that grip, lift and serve – with a built-in rest to keep the mess off your bench.

The Dreamfarm Clongs 9″ combine the everyday usefulness of kitchen tongs with some thoughtful design features that make food preparation and serving easier.

Their shorter 23cm length offers a compact option for handling smaller foods, while the silicone tips feature a textured waffle design for gripping and lifting. A simple push-button mechanism lets you open and lock the tongs with one hand, and the cleverly curved handles keep the tips raised off the bench when you put them down.

Whether you’re turning food in a pan, transferring ingredients or serving a family meal, these are practical tongs designed to make everyday kitchen tasks a little easier.

Why we love it

Tongs can be incredibly useful for people who prefer not to handle food directly or find it difficult to pick up individual pieces with their fingers. We particularly like the compact size and silicone gripping tips of the 9″ Clongs. The textured tips help hold food securely, while the flatter edges make it easier to pick up smaller pieces from a plate or pan.

For adults who find longer kitchen tongs awkward to manoeuvre, the shorter length may provide a more manageable option. The one-handed locking mechanism and self-resting design are clever additions too, reducing the need to juggle extra utensils or find somewhere clean to put the tongs down.

Great for

• Adults who prefer shorter kitchen tongs
• People who find longer utensils difficult to manoeuvre
• Grasping and transferring food during meal preparation
• Picking up smaller pieces of food
• Serving vegetables, pasta and other family foods
• People who prefer to minimise direct contact with food
• Children practising food handling during supervised cooking
• Exploring food through serving and transferring activities
• Cooking with non-stick cookware
• Keeping food-contact surfaces raised off the bench

A feeding therapist’s note

I love using tongs as a way to involve children in food preparation and mealtimes. Picking up pieces of food, transferring them between bowls or helping serve a family meal can offer opportunities to interact with different foods without needing to touch or taste them directly. For children navigating selective eating, that little bit of distance can sometimes make participating in a food activity feel more manageable.

Tongs can also be useful for adults who experience difficulties with hand coordination or prefer to avoid handling food directly. The shorter length of the 9″ Clongs may make them easier to position and control than longer tongs for some people. Of course, tongs still require grip strength and coordination to squeeze and release, so they’re not necessarily suitable for everyone with reduced hand function.

What I like most is their versatility. They’re useful for everyday cooking, serving and food exploration, without needing to be a specialised therapy tool.

Important

The Clongs are kitchen preparation and serving tongs, not a baby feeding utensil or chew tool. Always supervise children during food preparation, particularly around hot food and cooking surfaces.

The silicone tips are heat-resistant up to 260°C, but the metal handles may become hot during cooking. Do not expose the tongs to direct flames or leave them resting in a hot pan.

Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions and discontinue use if damaged.
