OXO GOOD
GRIPS
When you pick up an Oxo Good Grips hand-held kitchen tool with it's
distinctive black processed SantopreneŽ rubber handles you might say "why didn't anyone think of
this before?" Well, let's just be thankful that Sam Farber, the originator and
entrepreneur who created this line of easy to hold and easy to use kitchen tools came up
with the concept. Even the name "OXO" was chosen by Mr. Farber because
whether it's horizontal, vertical, upside down or backwards, it always reads "OXO".
By the way, the official pronunciation of the name is "Ox-Oh".
Good Grips tools were introduced to the public in 1990 with a line of
15 kitchen tools.....today, the line has expanded to more than 500 products, covering not
only the kitchen, but table service, coffee and tea serving, cleaning tools, and great
tools for barbecuing as well as garden tools, storage and automotive cleaning
tools. Not surprisingly, Oxo products have won
numerous national and international awards. And, a number of Good Grips products have been
selected to be part of a permanent collection of several museums such as the Museum of
Modern Art in New York City.
OXO Salad Spinners
  OXO GOOD GRIPS has added a version of their original plastic bowl salad spinner
that has a stainless steel serving bowl with a non-slip base keeps the bowl
steady on the countertop and it has a clear lid. Whether you buy the new
stainless steel bowl version or the original plastic bowl salad spinner, they
are the absolute
best salad spinners being sold. Two years of research and many pounds
of lettuce went into the original development of this product and that becomes
obvious the first time you use it. Great care was takes to consider what
features are vital to a salad spinners function and feel. What they came up with
was a Salad Spinner with a patented, one-handed pump mechanism -- simply press
the soft, non-slip knob to start the basket spinning and a built-in brake button
stops the Salad Spinner so you can unload it. Suggested retail
price for the SteeL salad spinner is
$49.99 and for the plastic bowl salad spinner the suggested retail price is
$24.99.
OXO Good Grips Cherry Pitter
 There have been cherry pitter gadgets on
the market ever since I can remember so you may not think this gadget could be
improved upon - but think again! With cherry season now upon us,
especially the delicious Bing variety from California and Michigan, this gadget will be very
useful to me as the cherry holder is extra large to accommodate the larger
variety of cherries.
The cherry pitter features a removable splatter shield that directs cherry
juices downward and away from your white shirt as well as preventing cherry
juices spurting all over your counter top. A brilliant design - the shield fits inside the front chamber and a lock holds the gadget closed
for convenient storage. Dishwasher top shelf safe - in the open position
to clean thoroughly. Suggested retail: $11.99
