Question What word is this?

What do we say a thing in English which we use to catch a hot dish?
A small device made of steel used to handle hot cooking utensils just like a pair of scissors.

From that description, specially the 'like a pair of scissors' part, the word 'tongs' comes to mind.

Here is a picture of tongs to see if it is this that you mean:
