The item pictured was not the item I received. I ordered an Oxo mandoline and instead an Oxo chopper was shipped. I thought there might be something wrong as the price from Popeil was 1/3 of the price from the other sites.

Aluminum Steamer Rack (fits 12 inch wok) Review

I bought this item to replace my electric steamer that formerly got a lot of use. After getting this item I haven't had a use for my steamer since. It works well. It is simple and easy to clean. There is an added bonus to this little guy. If you flip it over and put it on your counter it works well to thaw meat on. The metal pulls the cold out of the meat quickly and the little holes allow airflow around the frozen meat. I have been thawing 1lb tubes of ground beef in about an hour. Great item. Amazon and the Wok Shop are both great too.

I actually didn't buy this container for food storage at all.I use it to store my automatic dishwasher tablets and I love it for that purpose. I was tired of sealing and resealing the bag and reaching under my sink for the bag. Now, I keep it on my counter and just flip the lid and remove the tablets and snap it close. I have no doubt it would be great for food storage, also. Love it!

World Cuisine 2-3/4-Inch Stainless Steel Potato Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cooking is my hobby and I spend a lot of time on careful prep work. I have weak closing strength and pain in my hands which makes it hard to impossible to use the conventional rotating or moving blade type of peeler. This type is called a French peeler or fixed blade peeler and it works great by transferring the motion from thumb and fingers to the wrist and lower arm. Yes, it does take a little getting used to but once you master your own technique it's actually much faster and certainly less painful to use.

Oxo SteeL Salad Spinner Review

Oxo SteeL Salad Spinner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had an older, plastic OXO salad spinner for many years and it worked great and was built with a very durable spinner mechanism. We "upgraded" to this version when we dropped our old one and cracked the bowl. Unfortunately we have had the same experience as several other reviewers here - the spinner mechanism broke after only a few uses. It seems that if the inner basket has any significant amount of weight (from wet greens) in it and you press firmly on the spinner mechanism there is some plastic part that snaps inside the mechanism (at least that is how it sounded when it happened).
To OXO's great credit, however, their customer service has been fantastic so far in getting us setup for a refund (not a replacement - we would just break it again I'm sure).

The OXO SteeL Salad Spinner combines the ultimate function of our patented pump and brake with the elegance of a stainless steel serving bowl. Simply press the soft pump to start the basket spinning. Press the brake button and the basket comes to a stop for easy unloading. A clear lid lets you peek inside while you spin your salad, and the lid comes apart for easy cleaning. A non-slip base keeps the elegant stainless steel bowl steady on the countertop and the basket and bowl can be used separately. Bowl capacity is 6.34 quarts; basket capacity is 4.95 quarts.

Calphalon Nylon Potato Masher Review

Calphalon Nylon Potato Masher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a girlfriend but when I'm in the kitchen, Calphalon is my paramour.
Which is why this masher saddens me. The other reviewers have it right, smooth design, sturdy construction, gets into tight spaces, and a strong tactile response. But those are things I look for in a hammer, not a potato masher.
The mashing end is HIGHLY inefficient: holes are too small, plastic supersedes the space available for pressing food through. And so much is stuck in those holes and on the underside of the masher once you're through. A plain wire masher won't scratch your nonstick pans (assuming you're acquainted with finesse), isn't a tenth as wasteful, and is MUCH more efficient.
Bottom Line:
I strongly suggest getting something else to fulfill your mashing needs.

Oxo Good Grips PRO Grater Review

Oxo Good Grips PRO Grater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used this grater last night for the first time with some pasta and was amazed at the quantity of cheese it produced in just a couple of strokes. I've always found something to dislike about cheese graters, such as cleaning them or the way you have to hold them when grating, but so far I can't find any faults with this design.
The grater has a surprising amount of heft that's concentrated in the handle. The grating surface does not feel flimsy, although I did notice some deflection if you press hard enough on it. The amount of deflection seems reasonable and normal. The grater is very rigid. The grating surface is separate from the handle, but it's held in place by several small tabs on the reverse side -- it's not going anywhere. The reverse side of the grating surface is clean and doesn't provide any place for grated cheese to get stuck. The handle's material is the same type of rubber found on other OXO products, and I found the diameter of the handle to fit my hand perfectly.
The grating surface consists of what look like little tubes that run parallel to the handle. This has two benefits. The first is that you grate on both the downstroke and the upstroke. It's really amazing how much quicker I can grate now and how much cheese comes out. The second benefit is that it's really easy to clean this grater: just wipe across the grating surface (i.e.: across, not up and down). No grated sponge!
The end of the grater is rubber for traction when resting the end of the grater on a plate, but I had no problem with just holding the grater over the plate. The cheese fell in a predictable pattern -- over my pasta and not all over the table, even with some vigorous grating.
Yes, this is an expensive grater. But if you're like me and appreciate well-made, quality tools, this is one you should add to your kitchen. It does one job, does it well, and is easy to clean up afterwards. That last part is key, because I hate cleaning up. With this grater I can just rinse it off, hang it up, and forget about it until next time.

Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer Review

Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being pretty handy with a knife, I generally avoid products like this, but I was looking for another item to fulfill the 4 for 3 promotion and decided to get this. I'm surprised at how good it works as it does a much better job of chopping thyme and rosemary than I can with a knife. With thyme, I would remove the woody portion of the stem and chop it as finely as possible with my knife but still would have little pieces of stems that I couldn't get. Since the mincer can be moved over the herbs in different directions without lifting it from the work surface, all of the pieces get chopped or minced, and the lip on the handle allows you to scrape the herbs back to the center for mincing. The mincer can be held comfortably and securely in your hand, and it is easy to use, and just as with a knife, the herbs can be chopped coarse or fine. I have used it on thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley and cilantro with excellent results.
When the herbs accumulate on the blade, the mincer can be opened to give the blades a quick clean, and it can be disassembled for cleaning. I clean mine with a nylon bristle brush and a quick rinse under the faucet.
Though this sturdy and compact unit isn't a must have item for the kitchen, it does come in handy if you like to cook with fresh herbs.

Chasing leafy fresh herbs around with a big kitchen knife can be a time-consuming and irritating chore. Oxo offers an alternative with its Good Grips herb mincer. A hand tool with a rocking design and four stainless-steel blades, the mincer makes quick work of basil, mint, parsley, and other herbs. The durable plastic housing sports the signature Good Grips soft, non-slip grip and also ensures that fingers stay away from the cutting action. Designed to separate into two pieces for easy cleanup, the mincer is dishwasher-safe and comes with a protective blade guard for storage. Other specialty prep tools in this line include a mango splitter, a strawberry huller, and a corn stripper.

Finally I can make mashed potatoes without using my mixer. I am a quadriplegic/tetraplegic (C5-6 for thos who care) and I can use this tool. Traditional potato mashers just require more grip than I have in my hand. Plus the horizontal handle makes the pushing easier, as well.
My mother with mild arthritis likes this as well as her traditional masher.
As with most Oxo tools it is highly ergonomic: it fits the hand and does the job it's supposed to.

KitchenAid Stainless Steel Euro Peeler Review

KitchenAid Stainless Steel Euro Peeler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have always hated peeling potatoes and other vegetables, and so when I knew it was my turn to make Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to see if an expensive peeler would make a difference. I bought this one and absolutely LOVE it. I can't believe that a simple peeler could make me so happy, but after all those hand and arm cramps from my old metal peeler, this one makes all the difference in the world. I can peel potatoes in 1/3 or less of the time that I used to, and it requires absolutely no effort -- the blade is so sharp that if you put pressure on it, it'll take off more than just the skin of the vegetable you're peeling. When I had to peel 15 potatoes for dinner, it took 5 minutes and so little effort. It's also ergonomically comfortable, and I love the fact that KA includes a plastic cover for the blade.
This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets (who would have ever thought you could get joy from something so simple??) and I'm constantly buying it for friends who cook because it makes such a difference.

What are the most important features of a vegetable peeler? You want it to be comfortable in the hand and you want it to have a sharp, precise edge. Otherwise how will you ever peel that mountain of spuds for the family reunion potato salad, or that bushel of apples for apple pies and applesauce? KitchenAid is right on target with this handsome Euro peeler.

This is by far the best way to juice citrus fruits. Its especially good if you have arthritis or repetative stress injury that makes using the old fashion hand juicers harder.

OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer Review

OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used a large variety of tools over the years to juice citrus, and I was excited when I learned of this tool. Not only is it by Oxo, a leader in kitchen gadget innovations, but Cooks Illustrated also rated it as the top method for juicing limes.
I'm happy to report it does indeed juice limes very well! People without a lot of forearm/wrist strength may have to brace the bottom handle of the squeezer on something, and all the juice doesn't drain out of the squeezer until you remove the spent half-lime (it could use a few more drain holes), but it's effortless for me and I don't get juice all over my hands like when I use a reamer. For a lime squeezer, I give it 5 stars.
For a lemon squeezer, it leaves something to be desired. Working with an average supermarket lemon, it doesn't squeeze out as much juice as a reamer would (leaving some still in the lemon, wasted), and worse, squeezing hard causes lemon juice to squirt out the side for a sticky mess to clean up. Still, it is easy to use, if not very effective, so for a lemon squeezer, it gets 3 stars.
Since this is marketed as a citrus squeezer and not a lime squeezer, I averaged my two ratings to award 4 stars. If you're going to use this tool for limes and only the occasional lemon, the Oxo Citrus Squeezer is an excellent buy.

I am a quadriplegic/tetraplegic (C5-6 for any of you who care). I have only about 1/3 use of my hands and about 1/2 use of my arms, but I can use this zester--not with great ease, but I can use it! I cannot use any other zester I have tried.
My mother has mild arthritis and she likes my Oxo tools better than her own (even the ones she's grown to love over the years).
The zesting blades are sharp and at the perfect angle. You get perfect zest with little effort. And you get NO pith (bitter white part).
As with almost all Oxo tools the design is excellent: it is highly ergonomic--it fits the hand and works the way it should.
