I have a needle nose pliars which I got in a hardware store; great for
removing fish bones but it rusts in the dishwasher. So I went to
Williams Sonoma and found that they sell a non-rusting tweezer for the
purpose. It's great in the dishwasher but just about useless at
removing bones. Any ideas?

I don't know about the W-S tweezer but we have several bone tweezers (all
the same, just for team-boning!) that work really well. They are perfect for
removing small bones from fillets. I can only think you got a bad set or are
using them for the wrong thing. But if you want rust-free pliers, try a
fishing supply store. Or better yet, don't wash them in the dishwasher. How
dirty can they get?

Don't put the pliers in the dishwasher.Wash them off with dish soap and
water and dry them.

Needle nose pliers of stainless steel are available, fisherman use
them... but they cost.

So why can't you simply wash your ordinary pliers by hand, you can't be
that friggin' lazy.

Btw, most any pharmacy will carry stainless steel surgical hemo
forceps... even hardware stores have them... do you have a friend who's
a nurse?

Uh, wash the plyers by HAND instead of in the dishwasher? ;-)
Dry them by hand, then oil them with a bit of veggie oil to keep them
from rusting.

Honestly! Y'all get WAY too fond of modern technology! <lol>

I actually use a pair of eyebrow tweezers, the sort that have a flat edge
or rim along the gripping part of the tweezers

I have never had a problem feeling the pin bones and pulling them out
with my fingers. And a little lemon or orange juice takes away any
lingering aroma on the fingers.---
