Japanese Bamboo Cooking Chopsticks are shaped like regular bamboo chopsticks but are about 10-14 inches longer and are joined with a string at one end. Known as Saibashi, these long "cooking" chopsticks are commonly used during deep-frying to turn over foods in hot oil or transfer tempura to the draining rack. Also great for stirring noodles in a boiling pot of water. Three different sizes for custom use.
