Oxo tools are innovative in design and include such features as soft rubber grips, user-friendly design, and a great deal of functionality. We enjoyed using these products so much in our own kitchens that we've listed our top five Oxo Good Grips products in this article to share with you.

1. Angled measuring cups: talk about genius - these measuring cups let you check the accuracy of your measurement by looking straight down into the cup. Measurement marks inside the cup are clear and bright. The innovative angled design not only works for ease-of-use, but is also attractive and visually interesting.

2. Snap-lock can opener. This ingenious gadget actually makes opening cans fun! To open a can, you squeeze the opener so that it snaps on the can, locking it in. After you finish opening the can, press the lock to remove the opener. What's also so great about this item is that anybody can use it because it requires very little force or strength. So it's a great choice if you have arthritis or have any problems with gripping items.

3. Fat separator: separates fat from any liquid, using a devices that looks like a measuring cup. Heat-resistant,, the fat separator can easily de-grease gravy and hot soups. The device has a rubber stopper on the spout that prevents fat from leaking out the spout's top. It also includes a strainer to catch food particles that you'd also like to keep out of the final product.
