Berkel Ham Tongs are for lifting a finished slice off the back of the slicer, the point where you'd otherwise be reaching in close to the blade with your fingers to peel it away. The spring-hinged action opens and closes with one hand, and the tips hold rather than pinch, so a slice of prosciutto or a wedge of hard cheese comes away whole and can be set down on a board or plate without tearing or crushing it. Stainless steel throughout, with the Berkel logo engraved on the handle.
Retrieving a slice from the back of the machine is where your fingers end up closest to a moving blade. These tongs do that job for you, so your hand stays back while the tips do the reaching. They're also useful for anything you'd rather not handle directly with fingers, like fragile or wafer-thin cuts that need holding and placing rather than picking up.
These tongs work alongside any Berkel electric or flywheel slicer, and they're a small but genuinely useful addition if you're slicing charcuterie regularly. Pair them with a Berkel cutting board to give each retrieved slice somewhere to land, or add a Berkel slicer cleaning kit to keep the rest of your setup in good condition.

Berkel has been making slicers since 1898, when Wilhelmus Adrianus van Berkel patented the original hand-cranked flywheel design in Rotterdam. The company's design and product work is based in Italy today, and that same mechanism still runs through the Volano range alongside the electric slicers and knives. We're an authorised UK retailer, so every Berkel product we sell is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Find out more about Berkel.
