When reviewing this month's super tools for the kitchen, the Oxo Good Grips line grabbed our attention as top-of-the-line kitchen tools. Oxo tools are innovative in design and include such features as soft rubber grips, user-friendly design, and a great deal of functionality. We enjoyed using these products so much in our own kitchens that we've listed our top five Oxo Good Grips products in this article to share with you.
1. Angled measuring cups: talk about genius - these measuring cups let you check the accuracy of your measurement by looking straight down into the cup. Measurement marks inside the cup are clear and bright. The innovative angled design not only works for ease-of-use, but is also attractive and visually interesting.
2. Snap-lock can opener. This ingenious gadget actually makes opening cans fun! To open a can, you squeeze the opener so that it snaps on the can, locking it in. After you finish opening the can, press the lock to remove the opener. What's also so great about this item is that anybody can use it because it requires very little force or strength. So it's a great choice if you have arthritis or have any problems with gripping items.
3. Fat separator: separates fat from any liquid, using a devices that looks like a measuring cup. Heat-resistant,, the fat separator can easily de-grease gravy and hot soups. The device has a rubber stopper on the spout that prevents fat from leaking out the spout's top. It also includes a strainer to catch food particles that you'd also like to keep out of the final product.
4. Folding cutting boards: Oxo Good Grips are the latest thing in great cutting boards. They are made from heat-resistant polypropylene and have rubberized side panels to prevent them from slipping. Oxo Good Grips cutting boards fold easily for storage and will not move no matter how much heavy-duty food chopping you do.
5. Manual slicers are available in either the mandolin or julienne varieties. They are readily gripped because they possess excellent 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.
