Ice Tong

Ice tongs are typically made out of stainless steel (or aluminum). They are also some of the smallest tongs on the market. These particular tongs have spike edges.

The ice tongs are on the smaller side, ranging from around 5 inches all the way up to 9 or 10 inches. You don’t need long ice tongs as you need just enough room to pick up a cube of ice and place it into a glass. If you have long, decorative glasses, opt for the longer ice tongs. If not, something on the smaller end is just fine (and is often easier to handle, as you don’t want to accidentally knock over a glass because your ice tongs are too long). Like many of the tongs on this list, ice tongs are made using a one-piece construction. There’s no need to go overboard with ice tongs.

Metal tongs tend to work better when dealing with anything hot and cold. Ask yourself, what tastes better: a can of Coke or a plastic bottle of Coke? Chances are, you said the metal can. Metal just handles cold better, not to mention that silver polished pair of ice tongs looks good at your home bar.
