Why aren't you using plating tongs?

Because I'm taking a shit, get outta my stall.

You can't fool me, we use those same pickups for autopsies.
Never did figure out the point of the bent ones, though.

Those are tweezers

You could use it as a "poop knife" in a pinch.

I'm already pinching.

Wusthof calls them tongs. Mercer calls them tweezers.

This is one of those instances where you pay $55 for a set of "plating tongs" but you can get the some ones as forceps for $14.99 from Cadaver Supply Inc, right?

Dear lord. Next you'll tell me they're selling needle-nose pliers for fish bones at that price.

Huh, they do basically look the same.

Those things are not 12-inch long though.

A 3-piece set of 8, 10, and 12 inch forceps costs 6.50 on Amazon, Prime shipping available. This is Wustof being full of shit.

Are they thick and sturdy enough to do this?

>> No.10596175

>>10596166
Considering you can use them to hold open abdominal cavities or pick up whole organ blocks, I would say yes, they can probably pick up a steak.

>> No.10596192

>>10596166
Don't know, haven't bought them.

Though at that price I'm not sure why the fuck you wouldn't plate with the forceps and use flat tongs to cook like a sane person.

What for? Plates are an inefficient detour on the path from pot to mouth.

My shakes kick in by the time we get to dinner service so I doubt they'd help much.
