This month, we’re reviewing super tools for the kitchen. One of the brands that really popped out at us during the reviewing process is the Oxo Good Grips line. These innovative kitchen tools feature soft rubber grips, ergonomic design, and tons of functionality. They are such a joy to use in the kitchen that we’ve compiled a list of our top five Oxo Good Grips products.
1. Angled measuring cups: These things are ingenious because they let you check the accuracy of your measurement just by looking straight down into the cup. The innovative angled design and the clear and bright measurement marks inside the cup make it a breeze to use. Not only that, they also look great in your kitchen.
2. Snap-lock can opener: we really enjoyed using this unique can opener. To begin opening a can, just gently squeeze the opener – with a snap, it locks onto the can. After you’re done, just press the lock and it will open with a second snap. Not only is this can opener functional and fun to use, but it also is a boon to anyone (such as people with arthritis or with small hands) who struggles to have a tight enough grip to keep a can opener closed.
3. Fat separator: this device looks like a measuring cup, but actually functions to separate fat from any liquid. Gravy and hot soups can easily be de-greased, since the fat separator is heat-resistant. The rubber stopper on the spout prevents fat from drifting to the spout’s top. An included strainer catches food particles that you’d prefer to keep out of your gravy and other liquid.
4. Folding cutting boards. Oxo Good Grips presents this handy new innovation. It’s made of polypropylene to withstand higher temperatures. But the best part is you can fold it up so it takes up less storage space! And for safety, it includes rubber panels on the sides so it doesn’t move or slip while you prepare foods.
5. Hand held slicers. Hand held slicers let you create perfectly sliced fruits and veggies every time! They come as either a mandoline or a julienne style. But both are handy with convenient handles and a visible blade so you know where you’re cutting. You can either use it on a flat surface or hook it over a sturdy, stable bowl.
We are looking at super tools for the kitchen this month. Of all the brands out there, the one that has really shown itself to be superior is the Oxo Good Grips line. The angled design of these cups is user-friendly as well as being an attractive addition to your kitchen. Manual slicers are available in either the mandolin or julienne varieties. They are readily gripped because they possess Great Handles. They will prepare thinly cut fruit or vegetables very quickly. The area around the blade is transparent allowing you to see precisely what is being cut.
