Elevate tools from the innovative British company Joseph Joseph are designed to improve hygiene and minimise the mess made by placing utensils onto kitchen surfaces during use. Each Elevate tool has an innovative weighted handle with an integrated tool rest, so that when an Elevate utensil is placed down, its head is always raised off of the work surface. Clever, no? Elevate tools are made from toughened nylon and are completely dishwasher safe. The tongs feature silicone heads that are heat resistant up to /520ºF.
