I have a lot of OXO kitchen gadgets and tools. But I made you a list of my favorites. This is a list of (mostly) under $50 kitchen tools that I think every well-equipped kitchen can benefit from.

OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Tongs with Silicone Heads
I use these All. The. Time. Especially when air frying, they're a great way to place or remove hot items. The silicone tips keep you from tearing the food, and the little lock at the back works easily. I have about 4 other pairs of utterly useless tongs, so I've tested quite a few. They also make 12 inch ones

OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer
Great for straining pasta, beans, and paneer. I love that they're large enough to toss beans around in as you wash them. You can also use to rinse rice. The little loop at the top makes them easy to hang on a hook inside a cabinet door, where we hang 3 different sizes of these.

OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt
They're easy to clean, safe to use with wet foods and steamy environments like a pressure cooker, and utterly heat resistant. They are, however, quite large so they tend to slip on my hands a little. I use them with the accompanying pot holder listed below.

Great standby at my house. Be carefully not to heat anything in these that gets too hot, as they tend to pit a little if you accidentally overheat something in them. But as mixing bows, they're incomparable. Light, durable, dishwasher safe, and the rubber gripping keeps them firmly in place.

OXO Good Grips Pressure Cooker Bakeware Sling, Red
I thought i'd use this for cheesecake but it's not like I make cheesecake all the time. So I end up using it for other things, like potatoes or eggs cooked in the pressure cooker. It is very sturdy and the button at the top is very handy. You still have to lift things out carefully as I've had my spaghetti squash slide off the side, back into the hot water, and give me a bit of an unintended "facial".

How Do You Store Kitchen Utensils?
Everyone has a preferred way to store their kitchen utensils and kitchen utensil sets. Here are some of the most popular ways people choose to store theirs:
- A drawer. Yes, it's basic, but you would be surprised how many utensils you can store in a drawer.
- A canister. The most convenient place to store long-handled kitchen tools is in a canister on the countertop so they are easy to grab when you need them.
- In a cabinet. Have kitchen accessories you don't use very often? Tuck them away and keep the ones you use most often easily accessible.

OXO products were once great and held up for years. Now every single OXO product I have bought is broken or failed. The chopper, the spatulas, the cheese grater. All broken and in the trash.
