Slotted Pickle and Olive Tongs
Lifts olives, gherkins and pickled onions from the jar while the brine falls back inside.
€13.99
A fork spears the gherkin you wanted and pushes the olive away. These short tongs close round whatever is floating in the jar, then hold it over the neck while the vinegar drains.

Adjustable Jar Opener
Twist the lid off, then lift the pickles out. €13.99
- 18 cm reach
- Holes drain the brine
- Sprung, no hinge to clog
- Stainless steel
Into the jar
Clean fingers, and the brine stays in the jar
With a fork or fingers
- Round olives slip off the prongs and sink again
- The last few mean fingers in the vinegar
- Brine drips from the fork across the worktop
- Tall jars get tipped and shaken to reach the bottom
With the pickle tongs
- Two cups close round it from either side
- Vinegar runs out through the holes before it leaves the jar
- Long enough for the bottom of an ordinary jar
- Your hands never touch the brine
How to use it
Out of the jar, not off the fork
- 01
Reach in
Hold the tongs by the closed end and lower the open cups into the jar.
- 02
Close and lift
Squeeze gently round an olive, onion or gherkin and lift it straight up.
- 03
Let it drip
Pause over the jar for a second so the brine runs back through the holes, not onto the plate.
At the table too
Anything round, wet or fiddly to pick up
Antipasti
Pick out the pieces you want from a jar of mixed antipasti.
Sugar cubes
Pass them round with the teapot, one at a time.
Ice
Drop cubes into a glass while any meltwater runs out through the holes.
Cherry tomatoes
Serve from the bowl without hands going into the salad.
Cocktail onions
One for each glass, lifted from the jar.
Close up
Small tongs, built for jars
Perforated cups
Two shallow spoon shapes punched with holes. They cradle round things and let liquid fall straight through.
Narrow arms
3.8 cm across at the widest point, slim enough for the neck of an ordinary pickle jar.
Folded spring end
One folded strip of steel instead of a hinge, so there is no rivet for vinegar to collect around.
Compared
Tongs, fork or fingers?
For a jar of mixed antipasti the tongs win on hygiene; for one wedge of beetroot a fork is fine.

| Keeps brine in the jar | Yes | No | No |

At 18 cm they are kitchen tongs in miniature; for a barbecue you need something far longer.
After serving
Rinse the vinegar off first
- 01
Rinse soon
Hold them under the tap once the jar is closed, so salt and acid don't sit on the steel.
- 02
Wash in soapy water
Use warm water and washing up liquid, working the cloth into each cup.
- 03
Dry with a cloth
Wipe both arms dry before they go back in the drawer.

Questions
At 18 cm it reaches the bottom of most standard jars of olives, gherkins and pickled onions. A tall catering jar may need you to tip it slightly.
We could not find a jar fork we were happy to stock, so we chose tongs that do the same job. The cups hold round things a fork would push away.
Yes, they double as small serving tongs for sugar cubes, ice, cherry tomatoes or cocktail onions. The holes stop a puddle forming on the plate.
They are short for a hot pan or grill, which puts your hand close to the heat. Use them cold, at the table or over the jar.
Very little, if you pause over the open jar first. The brine runs out through the holes in both cups and back where it came from, not across the worktop.
