The OXO gadgets seem to be great, but the vinyl cooking tools are a waste. The spatula edge started shredding on first use (simply stirring a casserole on med-high heat). Disappointing. I would recommend OXO gadgets but buy a different brand for the cooking tools.
Not worth the money. OXO is one of my favorite kitchen brands because they have such high quality items. This set is fill with very cheap substitutes. They all may be labeled OXO but they are not the quality that I've come to know and love. The spatula is super thin and can barely lift an egg without bending. The pizza cutting is thin metal as well. The only decent items are the tongs, ice cream scoop and shredder. They rest are very cheaply made.
I bought these utensils from amazon warehouse and they were used but in great condition. Upon recieving them I noticed that the boxes was wet and there was slight mold around the box which did throw me off and I contacted amazon about the problem and they fixed it immediately which lightened my mood concerning the product. That’s another issue in it itself but let’s get to the product. The product came in and after multiple washes and rinses in the sink and dishwasher I noticed that majority of the utensils were still brand new except one of the spoons was burnt but other than that I was happy for the price I paid for them. I tested out to see why the spoon had melted and found out that they are not made to be sitting in a hot pan or on top of the rim of a hot pot for too long or else they will melt and leave either indentations or scorched marks. I’m an avid oxo fan and have a kitchen full of their products and am greatly disappointed with this factor and it’s says that it can withstand greater temperatures than the surfaces I had it on. The utensils are sturdy and are very easy to clean which we love. I learned that for the spatulas you will need to wash them immediately if you are dealing with tomato sauces or high citric acid food because it will stain them and they can be unappealing to the eyes especially for me since I like my kitchen ware to look clean and not discolored. I love my oxo set even though all these setbacks and their stylish look and sturdiness. I hope that oxo fixes the issues with how the utensils melt but other than that they are amazing. Thanks for reading my review.
At the time of purchasing these I wasn't cooking very often so when it came to purchasing a set of kitchen utensils I was just looking at the cheapest prices. When I came across this set I wasn't very conflicted with the price at first because I had no prior knowledge as too what makes a good spatula or what a potato peeler should work like. Months after using these everyday I can honestly say they have made cooking so much fun for me. It's never a hassle or a struggle with these utensils. I think for everyday use they have been great! They haven't bent or broken and I don't know what I'm doing half the time so I feel that says a lot!
For the price these seem pretty nice. I want to start buying more oxo brand items because they seem to be of good quality. Time will tell. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is I felt the picture was a bit misleading. When every item is placed inside as pictured, it’s very tight. I had to strategically place them a couple times to make it all fit. Just know you will most likely want to take a few things out and place in drawers.
Purchased these as a gift for my granddaughters college apartment. She loves to cook and bake so ordered a cheaper set and these to compare. Needless to say, kept these and sent the others back. When you're doing a task that requires tools, get the best ones you can afford or you'll be frustrated. They felt good to grip, sturdy or flexible as designed. As with any utensils, wise cooks don't leave them in the pan/oven or melting could be an issue. These will hold up under normal use.
I purchased the OXO Good Grips 15-Piece Everyday Kitchen Tool Set roughly a month ago as I moved into a new apartment that had no kitchen utensils. I had browsed around at various local stores examining different types of utensils and contemplated buying a piece meal set with different brands, but ultimately I settled on this set and brand.
Some of the best attributes of this product is that it includes most every tool that you need in a working kitchen. I'm no gourmet chef, I cook just to eat healthy and cheaply, and so far I haven't found anything that I need that isn't in here. There have been comments that there is no spaghetti spoon, and that would be the one potential downfall. However, the included tongs work perfectly for mixing, tossing, and picking up pasta.
The other potential issue others have mentioned is the tight squeeze in the holder. Yes, it is a tight squeeze if you leave every single tool in it. My simple solution was to put the potato masher and meat tenderizer in a drawer. I hardly ever use them anyway, and they're big and bulky and are the ones taking the most space. I also will likely move the pizza cutter into a drawer simply because I don't like reaching in and grabbing things with a blade right by my hand. One positive to the compactness is that it is a well built, hefty container that you don't need to worry about knocking over, or any tools tipping it over.
I love this brand! Everything I’ve gotten I’ve loved! I got these when I moved last year and they still look they are brand new! I’ve loved cooking with these, the quality is amazing! Good sturdy rubber handles, good quality and doesn’t rust!
It's expensive but still cheaper than buying each of those individually. I'm not sure I'll use all of it but I wanted most of those. I'm usually always satisfied with the quality of OXO products and this was no different. I'm a little skeptical about the container though... It seems too small and having sharp objects poking out seems like a bad idea.
Utensils are all very high quality. Super happy with this purchase. Even though the price is higher than what you’d pay for other sets, oxo quality will last. I’ve been happy with previous one off kitchen utensils so decided it was time for a kitchen overhaul. I’m so glad I did!
I bought these just to get a whole new set, and they are extremely durable and very easy to clean I've noticed that they are way easier to clean than many other ones I've had in the past.. they also look nice too cosmetically on the counter.
