What are these?

I’m cleaning up my crocks of tools, and these have been in the wok tools crock for decades. I have no recollection of buying them. I assume they are for tossing noodles.

I have way too much stuff

No clue but can you put something next to them for scale?

Yes, they look like pasta tossers/servers.

Salad tongs/tossers. Similar to these salad hands. Just with handles.

I had the original James Beard Salad Hands -their shape was so much so much better and more functional than the later wannabes!

That’s what Google Images said, but nope. Never purchased anything like that!

Quite a bit larger than I expected. Not sure I can see them being super useful for tossing noodles; I’d think it would get all kinds of tangled..? But maybe for removing them from a pot of boiling water?

There’s a spiky spoon/scoop for that …eh, I just use tongs.

Indeed. I was suggesting a potential intended use case for these things, not implying that there aren’t other/better options.
