I found this tong with silicone ends at our local Dollar Tree store. If you don’t have a Dollar Tree store in your area, it is the only dollar store I know of that everything in the store is truly $1.00 or less.

Immediately I thought “what can I do with the silicone”? The silicone ends pull off easily. Here was my idea
full tong
tong ends
silicone ends only
lift from sides
lift 2 from handle
lift 1 from handles

It may also be able to be used as a lip guard for a hot cup. They weigh 4 grams each.

Nice find! I was just going to look for cheap kitchen silicone for myself. This looks great.

I like the finger-ends…

My local £1 shop has two thin silicone mats for, well, £1…

One is circular, one is rectangular. I'm thinking of folding and fastening back the ends of the rectangular one to make a 'mini oven glove', which would protect thumb and fingers like your tong tips.

I've seen these at a local market. They are thin and flexible enough to be used as a pot holder, but maybe other things too: mug lid? emergency cup? funny small hat for visiting mice?
