Introduction: 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 )
Step 1:
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.

Step 4:
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.
Step 5:
That is it! Now you can get your extremely hot food out of the oven.
