Is the tongs stand intended to support tongs off the surface while cooking, or is it meant to keep them closed when stored in a drawer?

It is a compact size measuring width 4cm, height 3.8cm, and height 3.7cm^[1]. There are three confirmed pieces of information regarding the tongs stand by Kajidonya: this small size, 2 uses, and the specifications of the tongs that can be used with it^[2][3][4].

The first condition to check is that the tongs must not exceed a width of 2cm when closed^[5]. You should check in advance whether the thickest part of the tongs you own is within 2cm when completely closed so that you can insert and use them properly.

The uses of the stand are divided into 2: cooking and storage. While cooking, it serves as a rest that props the tongs upright so that the tips coated with oil or seasonings do not touch the surface, and once cleanup is done, it holds the tongs together so they do not spread open, reducing volume in the drawer^[6]. Keeping the part that touches food elevated off the countertop surface prevents seasonings from smearing, allowing you to maintain a much tidier cooking space.
