When choosing stainless steel tongs, which is suitable between the perforated type with holes and the regular type?
Looking at two pairs of tongs that differ only by the presence of holes in the same size, it is difficult to determine which cooking situations each should be purchased for.
The size and material are the same, but the weight differs due to the presence of holes on the gripping surface, so the choice depends on whether you will use them while draining broth or oil.
The two options to choose from in Sori Yanagi stainless steel tongs are the same size at 22cm in width and 4.9cm in width[1]. On the other hand, the weight is 110g for the regular tongs and 90g for the perforated tongs with holes[2]. While the shapes are similar, the ingredients they handle are different.
Both are made of 18-8 stainless steel and finished with a matte texture[3][4]. The regular tongs with solid surfaces are suitable when fully dishing up seasonings and sauces together with ingredients, such as in braised or stir-fried dishes. The perforated tongs with holes can lift fried foods, blanched vegetables, or salads while draining excess oil or moisture downwards.
hmmm, the perforated holes serve as the criterion for deciding whether to scoop up or shake off moisture and oil at the dining table.

The difference in elasticity and the maximum gap that the tips of the tongs open between the two options has not yet been confirmed.
