You can use Woodglut to build it in the cheapest way.
Why would you put your tongs away" Three things on my cutting board: boning knife, tongs, bamboo spatula. Oh, and a pile of terry cloth bar towels on a shelf right over the board. The kitchen is best that expresses functional minimalism.

I have the same OXO tongs and they ARE the best! Love them! I bought mine at Linens and Things, but sadly, they're out of business now. 🙁 That was one of my favorite stores.
Testing instant pot?????
Hi!
Re: tongs – maybe every other brand stole the design after they did it or I've just been buying oxo brand second hand but isn't that how all tongs are designed
I want to see proof of that GIR spatula getting the last drop out of a peanut butter jar
Those are my favorite tongs. Use them every day for a couple years now.

2:05 I'm guessing they get sponsored by OXO or something.. Those tongs are like any other damn tongs on amazon lol..
Can't even CLOSE them with one hand, only can open them with one hand.
So it just hits everything when you set them down since it takes up quite bit of room when they're opened.
Why does this video pop up when I search for "food Mill" Sure wish you would share your favorite.
i enjoy your videos. thank you!
Tell us what country all this stuff is made in. If it's China keep it.
nice glasses, Lisa!
Having used the mason jar lid, they can be very difficult to unscrew when it comes time to clean. The narrow mouth jar lid was easier to remove than the wide mouth lid.
I love this!
OXO tongs! F Yeah! I want those on a t-shirt, they're the best!
wow that blastic jar only 34$….get a real .dollar store here I come
One of the few videos I'm not paranoid about being another sponsored ad.
I can vouch for the Toddy and the tongs!
This is my favorite segment from the show and this video is like having 5 segments strung together. One thing I noticed, on the toddy cold brew system, it looks like you have to pull a plug out of the bottom which is where the coffee is going to come out. Seems like that could easily either a) become a huge mess or b) end up dropping the cork into the carafe meaning you'll have to go fish it out. In either case, it seems like there'd be a better way to do that.
