This month, we're reviewing super tools for the kitchen. One of the brands that really popped out at us during the reviewing process is the Oxo Good Grips line. These innovative kitchen tools feature soft rubber grips, ergonomic design, and tons of functionality. They are such a joy to use in the kitchen that we've compiled a list of our top five Oxo Good Grips products.

1. Angled measuring cups: these ingenious measuring cups let you check your measurement by looking down into the cup instead of having to squat to look at the calibration written on the side. The measurement marks in the cups are printed clearly and plainly for easy observation. The angled design of these cups is user-friendly as well as being an attractive addition to your kitchen.

2. Snap-lock can opener: this can opener is extremely functional as well as easy on the hands. To start opening your can, squeeze the opener, and it will lock onto the can with a snap. When you've finished, a gentle press on the lock will open the can opener with another snap. We had a lot of fun using this can opener and think that you'll enjoy it, too. Plus, if you're a person with small hands or arthritis and have always struggled to keep a conventional can opener closed, the snap-lock can opener might be an appealing option.

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.

4. Folding cutting boards: Oxo Good Grips are the latest thing in great cutting boards. They are made from heat-resistant polypropylene and have rubberized side panels to prevent them from slipping. Oxo Good Grips cutting boards fold easily for storage and will not move no matter how much heavy-duty food chopping you do.

5. Manual slicers are available in either the mandolin or julienne varieties. They are readily gripped because they possess excellent handles. They will prepare thinly cut fruit or vegetables very quickly. The area around the blade is transparent allowing you to see precisely what is being cut.
