Abstract: |
An improved cooking device may be used as a spatula or as tongs. The device has upper and lower jaws which are connected to a handle. The handle is spring biased such that the upper and lower jaws are in substantially parallel contact with each other and such that a compression force on the handle causes the upper and lower jaws to separate from each other.
