I have always loved OXO for their range of super utensils, making everyday living easier in the home.  I have reviewed many products from OXO before, and I would like to show you more in which I think are great.

The OXO Good Grips Y Peeler must be one of the best peelers that I have used.  Talk about gliding easily, this peel a potato in seconds, hassle free!  It is called the Y Peeler because of its shape and features a sharp stainless steel blade that glides through even the toughest fruit and vegetable skins with ease. The soft, comfortable handle cushions your hand as you peel, and is non-slip, even when your hands are wet..  I urge you to try this one out, for only £5, your Christmas dinner will be prepared in no time at all!

Or, for the perfect mash try out the Smooth Potato Masher (£11).  This innovative Potato Masher lets you make smooth mashed potatoes with less pressure on your hands. A broad, soft, horizontal handle lets you press straight down while it cushions your grip and absorbs pressure. A fine-grid, stainless steel mashing plate yields smooth mashed potatoes with no lumps.  I already have the potato ricer from OXO and think that it is fantastic, but honestly, this Smooth Masher is just as good!  This tool is also ideal for mashing yams, carrots, or other root vegetables, or for making homemade baby food by mashing apples or bananas.

To help you measure accurately with no hassle at all, the Good Grips Angled Measuring Cups are ideal. Having an angled surface you can read measurement markings by looking straight down into the Cup and eliminates the need to fill, check and adjust the amount of liquid you are measuring. The handle is soft and non-slip for a firm grip. The bright measurement markings in convenient cup, ounce and millilitre denominations accommodate any recipe.  These super measuring jus are available in 1-Cup, 2-Cup and 4-Cup versions, and are price from £3 up to £10.

Or, for those mango lovers out there, the Mango Splitter from OXO is just the thing for you.  One simple press of the splitter removes the seed and cuts the fruit in half. The Mango Splitter slices cleanly through the fruit and leaves almost nothing behind on the seed. Soft grips cushion while you press and the stainless steel blades are sharp and sturdy.  It is priced at £7, and the hassle of mango slicing is taken of your hands.  Within this range you can also choose the apple divider, strawberry huller and cherry/olive pitter.
