In the spotlight: ergonomic tools from OXO Good Grips

OXO is known for its iconic Good Grips handle. From garlic presses to spatulas and from apple corers to peelers: all OXO Good Grips products fit comfortably in the hand. In this blog, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about this great brand. 🙌

When Sam Farber saw that his wife was struggling to hold her peeler due to Arthritis (a form of rheumatism), he came up with a solution. Kitchen tools shouldn't hurt your hands. He promised his wife he would develop a new peeler and thus founded OXO Good Grips.

The philosophy behind OXO Good Grips

OXO Good Grips was founded with one simple goal: to make products that make daily life easier. Inspired by universal design, OXO focuses on ergonomics and functionality. The handles are designed to fit comfortably in your hand, regardless of your grip. The kitchen tools are dishwasher safe and are made to make every task in the kitchen fun and efficient.

Top tools from OXO Good Grips

1. Y-peeler

The peeler was the first product Sam Farber designed. The Y-peeler was specifically made for cucumber, carrot, and zucchini. Thanks to its comfortable non-slip handle, sharp stainless steel blade, and dishwasher-safe design, this peeler is a favorite among both amateur cooks and professionals. With its ergonomic handle, you can effortlessly peel fruits and vegetables without your hand getting tired.

2. Salad spinner

The OXO Good Grips salad spinner is a must-have for every salad lover. With a press of a button, your lettuce is dry in no time. The non-slip ring keeps the salad spinner firmly in place so you only need one hand. When your lettuce is dry, you can also easily use the bowl as a serving dish. This saves on washing up!

3. Fruit tools

OXO Good Grips has developed a suitable tool for almost every type of fruit. You can easily pit cherries and olives with their cherry pitter. For strawberries, use a strawberry huller to quickly remove the stems. The core of an apple can be easily removed with an apple corer. Additionally, for avocados, use their 3-in-1 tool for splitting, pitting, and slicing. Are you feeling decorative? Then the melon baller and citrus zester will come in handy. This makes eating fruit even more fun and easier.

4. Garlic press

This OXO garlic press is a joy to work with. The press is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal effort. You can easily press several cloves of garlic at once, it holds comfortably, and you can easily remove garlic residue. The press is made of high-quality, durable materials and will therefore last for years.

5. Tongs

The OXO Good Grips tongs are a perfect example of how functionality and design come together. Thanks to the special locking mechanism, the tongs take up less space on the counter or in your kitchen drawer. The soft non-slip grips offer comfort and control, even if you're slaving away in the kitchen for hours. Use the tongs for turning meat, serving pasta, or stirring vegetables.
