How to Make Aluminium Foil Tongs
If you have ever needed to get your food out of a 350 F oven, but the tongs have magically disappeared, then this is the hack for you. The tongs are so easy to make and only require two materials.
Supplies
- 2' x 2' sheet of aluminium foil
- 4 toothpicks or 1 skewer cut in half (two )
Fold the sheet of aluminum in half. The fold a short end of the sheet so that the edge touches the center. Continue to do this until it is around 2 cm wide. Repeat on the other side.
The end result from step 1 should look like the first image. Next, you need to cut in the middle of the aluminum, until there are 2 inches uncut.
Fold the top of the tongs twice, as shown above.
Place the toothpicks or skewers in between the individual sections of the tong, as shown above. Lastly, fold over the aluminium flap, to close the gap.
That is it! Now you can get your extremely hot food out of the oven.
