Pair for a griller

Answer:

TONGS

Hint:

Think of the metal tool with two long arms that pinch together to flip burgers or steaks without burning your fingers.

Explanation:

A "pair for a griller" hints at a tool commonly used when cooking on a grill. The word "pair" suggests something with two matching parts, and tongs fit perfectly—they’re a two-pronged utensil for gripping food. The clue plays on the idea of a "pair" (two sides) and the practical use of tongs while grilling. It’s a straightforward definition with a slight nod to the dual nature of the tool.
