Product Review

Every kitchen needs the basic utensils; your kitchen needs only the best. Using OXO's Good Grips five piece utensil set, your kitchen will be prepared to make a plethora of savory dishes. The set includes a square turner, lasagna turner, large spoon, slotted spoon, and a spaghetti server. All these utensils are heat resistant up to 400 degrees F, and are made of nylon. This nylon material is safe to use on non-stick surfaces, and the utensils' handles are non-slip and soft to the touch. What is more, you can store each utensils quickly and easily on a peg using the built-in hanging eyelets.

OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.

Amazon.com Review

Blessed with OXO's famous Good Grips, the nylon tools in this set furnish a kitchen with six sturdy, durable essentials. Those oversized, soft, Santoprene (processed rubber) grips win awards for easing fatigue and providing slip-resistant safety when wet. They feature "fins" that flex under pressure, conforming to finger grips. The tools have long handles and oversized heads, are heat-resistant to 400 degrees F, and are safe for use with nonstick cookware. The set comprises a 14-inch slotted turner with a 4-inch square head, a 12-inch slotted lasagna turner with a 4-1/2-by-3-1/2-inch head, a 14-inch solid serving spoon, a 14-inch slotted serving spoon, and a 14-inch spaghetti server. Each tool has a large hanging hole. The entire set is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

EXPERIENCE AFTER USING FOR AWHILE (update added 3/31/10)

I've discovered a problem with these tools that wasn't obvious at first.

The handles are made of two pieces joined together, and the join isn't good. This causes them to fill with water if run through the dishwasher (or if soaked in a sink of dishwater). You don't realize it until you're cooking something and all this nasty dirty water starts dripping out of the handles and into the food.

I don't use the heated dry cycle on my dishwasher, so this is not a heat-related problem. It's just cheap manufacturing. I've come to expect more than this of Oxo. They generally make pretty good stuff, but I will probably end up throwing these out. I don't want my food contaminated.

MY ORIGINAL REVIEW

These are very sturdy tools that feel good in the hand. My only issue with them is that handles are rather large, so they take up a lot of room in my utensil holder. If you store your...Read more

Initially I was very surprised by how large the tools were. They are much bigger than any tool I've bought previously. If you don't have much space in the kitchen, I'd think twice about buying these tools. However, after using them I think they are quite sturdy and useful. Eventhough they are large, they are not heavy and sometimes there size is quite helpful. You can pick up a whole fried egg with the spatula, for example. I am happy with my purchace, because the price was good.

Bought these to replace older, non-matching kitchen tools. OXO work well and look nice but size-wise they are a bit large. Handles are extra long which is kind of overkill especially when using a small pot or pan. Grips are comfortable. Will have to invest in a new holder with a wide mouth to fit all tools comfortably. All is good, just be forewarned on size.
