Patent attributes
Cooking tongs with first and second U-shaped arms hinged at a proximal end with generally flat and inwardly cupped spatulas at a distal end. A lance shaped temperature sensor mounted inside the first arm on a slide carrier and an aperture in the spatula through which a distal end of the lance shaped temperature sensor may be reciprocated on a slide carrier. A slide control attached to the slide carrier through a slot in a sidewall of the first arm for telescopic sliding of the lance shaped temperature sensor through the aperture in the first spatula. An electronic display window on the first arm connected to a data processor on the slide carrier for converting a signal received from the lance shaped temperature sensor into temperature data that is displayed in the electronic display window.
