Cookware, bakeware, and appliances may be the stars of dinner parties, but smaller kitchen tools and utensils are the unsung heroes. Because while you could get by icing a cake without an offset spatula or cleaning a potato without a vegetable brush, why would you want to? In our humble opinion, some of the best kitchen essentials come from OXO, particularly from its Good Grips line. Below, we’ve found seven OXO tools and gadgets for all of those little tasks in food prep — and they’re all under $15.
Best OXO Tools for Under $15
- Good Grips 11-Inch Balloon Whisk, $14
- Good Grips Vegetable Brush, $10
- Steel Bottle Pourer, $12
- Good Grips Flexible Scoop, $9, originally $10
- Good Grips Silicone Small Spatula, $12
- Good Grips Wooden Citrus Reamer, $10
- Cocktail Strainer, $12
Good Grips 11-Inch Balloon Whisk
Not only is it amazingly affordable for just $14, but the OXO Balloon Whisk is also our absolute favorite whisk. It’s just the right size and length with a grippy, ergonomic handle for whipping cream, mixing batter, or emulsifying dressing. Boasting more than 20,600 five-star Amazon ratings, this tool makes intense whisking sessions easier.
Good Grips Vegetable Brush
A vegetable brush like this one is convenient to have on hand, especially for making mashed potatoes. With more than 15,700 perfect ratings on Amazon, this OXO brush is strong enough for tough scrubbing. Shoppers said they like the tool because it is “easy to clean” and “comfortable to hold.” At only $10, it’s a great value — one customer has even purchased several more to give as gifts.
Steel Bottle Pourer
This OXO pourer makes it easy to convert any bottle into a ready-to-pour carafe. The ribbed neck allows it to fit in most standard-sized liquor bottles without causing drips, spills, or leaks. And the stainless steel nozzle makes it easy to measure a shot or dose out olive oil. One customer has even gifted the pourer to family and friends, and one former bartender said they’ll probably pass it down to their grandkids.
Good Grips Flexible Scoop
If you’re a fan of OXO’s Pop containers, then this $9 scooper is the ideal companion. Not only is it dishwasher-safe, but it’s also flexible so you can fit it into smaller containers. The tool has more than 20,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, making for an impressive overall rating of 4.9 stars. Whether they were scooping ice, sugar, or pet food, customers love how “lightweight,” “sturdy,” and “easy to grasp” it is.
Good Grips Silicone Small Spatula
We love silicone utensils for their durability and versatility, and this small OXO spatula is a classic example. It comes in four sizes, but the 9.3-inch option can do everything from scraping batter to getting the last bit of peanut butter out of the jar. One customer even said it’s the best spatula they’ve ever owned: “I've been through a lot of spatulas, this is the only one I've ever owned that didn't eventually get burned or discolored, rinses off easily, and isn't too bendy like others.”
Good Grips Wooden Citrus Reamer
Fresh citrus is an ingredient that can’t be faked, no matter if you’re making a fizzy cocktail or lemon chicken. This handheld citrus reamer made from beech wood is an easy and efficient way to quickly juice lemons, limes, and even oranges. “It’s a sturdy, no-nonsense tool that promised to make juicing a breeze without the need for bulky, hard-to-clean electric juicers,” said one customer.
Cocktail Strainer
Whether you’re the designated mixologist of any party or are hosting for the first time, a cocktail strainer will make mixing drinks a lot easier. This stainless steel one from OXO is dishwasher-safe and has a convenient finger rest to prevent spills. Even if you already have one, this crucial barware piece makes an excellent host gift.
