Product Review
Crack and pick your way through a delicious crab meal with this seafood set by OXO. Made of sleek and attractive stainless steel, the set includes a cracker and four picks. The cracker can be used to crack open crab, seafood, and even nuts. The picks, on the other hand, are perfect for scooping out hard to reach meat, such as in lobster tails and crab legs. Black, soft, non-slip handles cover both the picks and the cracker, so pressure is more evenly distributed and your hands protected.
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.

This seafood set by Oxo is the ultimate resource when tackling a feast from the sea. With three different shelling surfaces and solid zinc construction, the cracker can handle the job--whether it's wrestling a stubborn crab shell or splitting open a large lobster claw. Its oversize, nonslip rubber handles absorb the tension as you squeeze them. The set of four seafood picks feature a spooned end for scooping and a tined end for picking--so every nook and cranny of your favorite shellfish can be scoured clean. The cracker and picks are dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

When I was putting my bridal registry together, I had asked for this seafood set. I am an OXO fanatic. I just love their products. That said, I was still overwhelmed by how much I would come to love this seafood set! It works better than I even imagined! You can get out every last piece of crabmeat, even in the skinniest of crab legs! It must be the pointed edge and hollowed design, that really allows you to delve down deep, grab on, and come back up with the prized seafood in tow. The cracker is also so well designed, that it can crack through the hardest of shells with ease while the handle stays comfortable in your hand. This product is OXO doing what it does best. I highly recommend this set.

These are pretty handy tools for getting every last bit of crab out of tight places. The cushy handles are comfortable and easy to use. Each side has a different sized scooper to use with a variety of differently sized shellfish. Highly recommended.
