14 Best OXO Kitchen Tools (August 2026) Tested & Reviewed

I've spent the last decade building my kitchen around OXO tools, and I'm not alone. America's Test Kitchen, Wirecutter, and tens of thousands of Amazon reviewers keep pointing to the same brand when asked about durable, comfortable kitchen gear. So when our team set out to test the best OXO kitchen tools in 2026, we already had high expectations, and most of these products cleared them.

OXO built its reputation on the Good Grips line, which launched in 1990 with a single vegetable peeler designed for people with arthritis. That focus on ergonomics turned into a full catalog covering everything from measuring cups to dish brushes. We bought, used, and stress-tested 14 OXO kitchen tools across baking, meal prep, cooking, and cleanup to see which ones truly deserve a spot on your counter.

This guide covers what actually works, what felt overhyped, and where each product fits in your kitchen. If you want to round out your setup beyond OXO, our guides to the best digital kitchen scales and the best burr coffee grinders cover adjacent picks worth knowing about.

Top 3 Picks for Best OXO Kitchen Tools in August

Best OXO Kitchen Tools in 2026

1. OXO Good Grips 20-Piece Everyday Kitchen Set

If you're moving into a new apartment or replacing a worn-out collection, this 20-piece set is the single smartest OXO purchase you can make. I unpacked it in my kitchen, sorted the pieces by function, and realized it covers everything from opening a can of beans to flipping pancakes to grating parmesan. The wooden spoons, silicone ladle, balloon whisk, swivel peeler, garlic press, and stainless tongs all carry that same OXO soft-touch grip.

The build quality stands out immediately. The silicone heads on the turner and spatula flex just enough to scrape the last bit of batter from a bowl, and they hold up against a non-stick pan without scratching. The slotted spoon is heavier than I expected, which actually helps when stirring thick pasta sauces.

The included utensil holder is a small but important detail. It matches the polished black handles on every tool and gives you a clean place to store the whole collection on the counter. After three weeks of daily use, nothing on the holder has tipped over, and the stainless tongs lock closed so they don't grab onto neighboring tools.

The 4-piece measuring cup set and 4-piece measuring spoon set are accurate and easy to read, though the plastic versions feel less premium than the metal tools. Dishwasher cleaning has been effortless so far, and nothing has warped or discolored after repeated cycles.

Best for first apartments and full kitchen refreshes

This set fits anyone starting from scratch or replacing a drawer full of mismatched tools. It's also a great gift for newlyweds or college grads setting up their first kitchen. If you already own a few favorites, you'll probably only use the new pieces you needed.

The one downside is the wooden utensils. They look beautiful but, like all wooden tools, they need occasional oiling and shouldn't go through the dishwasher if you want them to last more than a year or two. Most users will hand-wash them anyway.

How it compares to buying pieces individually

I priced out the equivalent of buying each tool separately from OXO's catalog, and the bundled set saves roughly 20% over individual purchases. The set also guarantees matching handles, which sounds trivial until you end up with three different shades of black in your utensil holder.

2. OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Prep & Serve 6-Piece Kitchen Tool Set

This is the set I keep out when guests come over. The polished stainless steel looks more like serveware than typical kitchen tools, and the included holder acts as a permanent centerpiece on the counter. I tested all six pieces (turner, spoon, slotted spoon, ladle, fork, and holder) on a Sunday dinner with friends.

The handles have a soft rubber insert that runs almost the full length, which is unusual for stainless steel sets. That grip stayed secure even when I was stirring a heavy pot of stew with oily hands. The fork is more useful than I expected; I use it for lifting roast chicken out of the pan more often than my carving set.

The ladle holds a generous portion, which is great for soup night but feels oversized for serving into smaller bowls. The slotted spoon drains well, but its deep bowl makes it less useful for tossing a delicate salad.

The set weighs 3.4 pounds total, which feels solid but also means the holder needs a sturdy spot on the counter. I tucked it next to my stove and it has stayed put without sliding.

Best for hosts who cook and serve at the table

If your dinner routine includes bringing the pan to the table, this set looks far more elegant than silicone tools. The polished steel matches most stainless cookware and flatware, so it blends in rather than standing out as cookware.

It's also a smart pick for small kitchens where you want a single set that works on the stove and the dining table. The trade-off is size; if you have a shallow drawer, the holder may not fit.

How it compares to the Good Grips Everyday Set

Where the 20-piece Everyday Set focuses on utility and non-stick safety, this 6-piece Prep & Serve Set focuses on presentation. The stainless steel will scratch non-stick coatings, so I keep silicone tools for the pan and reserve these for stainless pans and serving.

3. OXO Good Grips Multi-Purpose Kitchen and Herbs Scissors

These are the OXO kitchen tools our team recommends most often when someone asks for a single essential. With over 13,000 reviews and a 4.8 average rating, they're also one of the most crowd-pleased products in the entire OXO catalog. I bought my first pair six years ago and they still cut through chicken bones and packaging tape without complaint.

The micro-serrated blades grip food instead of pushing it across the cutting board. That means slicing a tomato doesn't squeeze the seeds out, and cutting raw chicken stays put instead of sliding into your hand. The stainless steel holds an edge far longer than I expected for the price.

The herb stripper is the surprise feature. The serrated notch in the blade pulls parsley, thyme, and rosemary leaves off their stems in seconds. For anyone who cooks with fresh herbs regularly, this single function justifies the purchase.

The blades also separate for cleaning, which is critical when you cut raw meat. The catch mechanism took me a few uses to master, but once you learn to push at the right angle, they snap apart and back together cleanly.

Best for home cooks who prep everything by hand

If you regularly open packages, cut herbs, snip dried fruit, or break down a whole chicken, these scissors replace a small drawer of tools. They're also handy for trimming pie dough, cutting parchment paper rounds, and even opening those impossible blister packs.

People with arthritis or limited grip strength get particular benefit from the cushioned handle. It's the same Good Grips design that built OXO's reputation, applied to one of the most-used hand tools in the kitchen.

How it compares to other kitchen shears

Most kitchen shears in this price range come apart for cleaning but lack the herb stripper and the micro-serrated grip. OXO's combination of features is what pushes them to the top of best-of lists from Serious Eats, Wirecutter, and America's Test Kitchen.

4. OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons 8-Piece Set

Measuring sets are usually an afterthought, but I think about mine more than almost any other tool in my kitchen. After years of using mismatched plastic cups that warped in the dishwasher and lost their markings, the OXO magnetic set feels like an upgrade every time I bake. The stainless steel doesn't bend, the markings are etched so they can't rub off, and the magnetic nesting keeps everything together in one drawer.

The set includes 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp measuring spoons plus 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup measuring cups. That's the exact size spread I need for baking, and the magnets snap the spoons onto the cups so I can grab the whole set with one hand.

The soft non-slip handles are oversized enough to grip securely with flour-covered hands. They sit flat on the counter without tipping, which sounds minor until you measure a sticky liquid like honey and don't want the cup wobbling.

The etched markings are my favorite detail. After three years of weekly dishwasher cycles, they look identical to the day I bought the set. The stamped markings on my old plastic cups had worn off within months.

Best for bakers and serious home cooks

If you bake more than once a month, accurate measurements matter. This set's etched markings won't fade, the spoons are clearly labeled on the handle, and the magnetic nesting means you stop losing the 1/2 tsp in the back of a drawer.

It's also a smart pick for anyone who cooks with kids or shares a kitchen. The non-slip handles are easy for small hands to control, and the magnetic feature means pieces end up back in the right place.

How it compares to cheaper plastic sets

The plastic sets you find at grocery stores cost less upfront but start cracking and fading within a year. I tested the OXO set side-by-side with a 3-year-old plastic set I had in a drawer, and the difference was stark. The OXO set will outlast three or four replacements of a cheaper set.

5. OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs

Over 14,000 Amazon reviewers agree: these are the best OXO kitchen tools in the tong category. I keep a pair within arm's reach of the stove, and they pull duty for everything from flipping chicken thighs to tossing a salad to lifting pasta out of boiling water.

The 12-inch length gives you clearance from hot oil and steam, and the scalloped edges grip food without crushing it. The thumb rest on the inside of the handle keeps the tongs balanced when you're holding a heavy piece of meat.

The locking mechanism is the standout feature. When you push the metal ring forward, the tongs snap closed and store flat in a drawer. After two years of daily use, the lock still holds firmly, which is more than I can say for cheaper tongs where the lock loosens over time.

The stainless steel construction feels heavy but solid. You can use these to lift a 4-pound roast out of a Dutch oven without the tongs flexing or wobbling.

Best for serious cooks who want a workhorse tool

If you only own one pair of tongs, make it these. They handle heavy lifting, high heat, and daily dishwasher cycles without any sign of wear. The 12-inch length is also ideal for outdoor grilling, where you want maximum distance from the flames.

Skip these if your main cookware is non-stick. The stainless steel tips can scratch coatings, and OXO makes a nylon-head version covered later in this guide that solves that problem.

How it compares to the 9-inch nylon version

The 12-inch stainless version handles more heat and bigger tasks. The 9-inch nylon version is gentler on non-stick pans and easier to maneuver for small jobs. Many OXO owners end up with both.

6. OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Silicone Utensil Set

If you own non-stick cookware and want a small, focused set that won't scratch the coating, this 3-piece silicone bundle is the answer. I used it daily for two months on a ceramic non-stick pan, and not a single scratch appeared on the surface.

The set includes a ladle, a cooking spoon, and a turner, which covers the three tools I reach for most often. The silicone heads flex enough to scrape every bit of pancake batter out of a bowl or scoop the last tablespoon of soup from a pot.

The heat resistance is impressive. I left the spoon resting against a hot pan during a sauce reduction, and it didn't warp or discolor. The handles stay cool enough to hold without a mitt, even when the silicone head has been in contact with a hot pan for a few minutes.

Cleanup takes about 30 seconds in the dishwasher. The non-slip grip on the handle holds up even when the silicone head is greasy, which sounds small but matters when you're sautéing with one hand.

Best for non-stick cookware owners

If you've ever ruined a non-stick pan with a metal spatula, you'll appreciate how gentle these silicone heads are. They're also perfect for coated cast iron and enameled Dutch ovens, where metal can leave marks.

This set is also a smart starter pack for a college dorm, a small apartment, or an RV kitchen. The three tools nest together and take up minimal drawer space.

How it compares to the 20-piece set

Where the 20-piece Everyday Set tries to cover every cooking task, this 3-piece set focuses on the highest-frequency tools. If you already own tongs, a peeler, and a whisk, you may not need more than these three silicone pieces for everyday cooking.

7. OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Digital Kitchen Food Scale

Baking is chemistry, and a kitchen scale is the most accurate instrument you can add to your kitchen. After testing the OXO 11-pound scale against my older mechanical scale, the difference was night and day. The OXO measured within 1 gram on every test, while my old scale drifted by 3 to 5 grams.

The pull-out display is the design feature I didn't know I needed. When I weigh ingredients in a large mixing bowl, the display normally disappears under the rim. Pulling it out keeps the numbers visible from any angle, which is a small but brilliant solution.

The tare function is critical for recipes that require multiple ingredients in the same bowl. I can zero out the bowl, add flour, zero again, add sugar, and zero again, all without dirtying extra measuring cups. This is also how professional pastry kitchens work, and OXO brings that workflow to a home kitchen price.

The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel is real. I have small children constantly touching the scale, and a quick wipe with a damp cloth restores the polished look.

Best for bakers, bread makers, and coffee enthusiasts

If you bake bread, weigh coffee, or follow recipes in grams, a reliable scale is essential. The 11-pound capacity handles everything from a single egg to a large batch of dough or a holiday roast.

It's also a great pick for portion control. If you're tracking macros, weighing food is faster and more accurate than reading nutrition labels and measuring by volume. This is also the same scale we feature in our guide to the best digital kitchen scales for baking.

How it compares to cheaper mechanical scales

Mechanical dial scales drift over time and can be off by a full tablespoon on a heavy load. The OXO digital scale uses a strain gauge that holds its calibration for years, and the digital readout removes any guessing about where the needle is pointing.

8. OXO Good Grips Swivel Vegetable Peeler

With over 52,000 reviews and an average 4.8-star rating, this is the most-celebrated OXO product in the entire catalog. It's also one of the cheapest items on this list, which makes it the easiest buy for anyone considering OXO for the first time. I keep mine in a drawer within reach of the sink, and it sees daily use for potatoes, carrots, apples, and zucchini.

The swiveling twin blades adjust to the contours of whatever you're peeling, which means less waste and faster work. I tested it against a traditional fixed-blade peeler and finished a butternut squash in roughly half the time.

The oversized handle is what makes this peeler famous. People with arthritis or reduced grip strength consistently rate this peeler higher than any other brand. The soft-touch grip absorbs pressure and doesn't slip even when your hands are wet from rinsing vegetables.

The built-in potato eye remover at the tip of the handle is a small but thoughtful detail. Instead of digging out a sprout with a paring knife, you twist the peeler and the tip pops the eye out cleanly.

Best for anyone who peels vegetables more than once a week

This peeler fits almost every kitchen and almost every cook. It's also a popular gift for older relatives who struggle with traditional peelers. The Good Grips design was originally created for arthritis sufferers, and it works for everyone.

It's also dishwasher safe, though I hand wash mine to keep the blade sharper for longer. After two years of regular use, the blade is still sharp enough to shave paper.

How it compares to a Y-shaped peeler

Y-shaped peelers are popular with professional chefs for very thick-skinned vegetables like butternut squash. For everyday peeling of apples, potatoes, and carrots, the OXO swivel peeler is faster and easier to control, especially for small hands.

9. OXO Good Grips Small Silicone Flexible Turner

This is the spatula I use every single morning for eggs. The flexible head slides under a delicate fried egg without tearing the white, and the silicone construction means it won't scratch my non-stick pan. After two years of daily breakfasts, the turner shows no signs of separating from the handle.

The compact 11-inch size fits in a kitchen drawer without dominating the space. The head is angled just enough to flip a pancake with a flick of the wrist, and the non-slip handle stays grippy even with butter-covered hands.

The silicone head tolerates high heat better than I expected. I regularly leave it resting against a hot pan while I plate other food, and it doesn't warp or melt. It also tolerates a quick rinse under cold water without any damage.

The handle is short enough to control precisely but long enough to keep your knuckles away from the heat. For anyone who flips eggs, cookies, or pancakes more than once a week, this turner is worth buying.

Best for non-stick cookware and delicate foods

This turner is purpose-built for non-stick pans, ceramic pans, and coated cast iron. The silicone edge won't scratch the coating, and the flexibility lets you scrape up every last bit of egg or cookie dough.

It's also a smart pick for anyone who bakes and uses a silicone baking mat. The turner transfers cookies off the mat without breaking them.

How it compares to a metal turner

Metal turners handle heavier lifting, like flipping a 1-pound burger patty. For everyday eggs, pancakes, and fish fillets, the silicone turner is gentler on the food and far safer for non-stick coatings.

10. OXO Good Grips POP Airtight Food Storage Containers 6-Piece Set

I used to keep flour, sugar, and rice in mismatched plastic containers that never sealed properly. Switching to the OXO POP containers eliminated stale dry goods from my pantry. The push-button lids lock in freshness, and the airtight seal keeps bugs out, which matters more than I'd like to admit given how often I used to find weevils in my flour.

The 6-piece set covers the most-used pantry staples: a 4.4-quart total capacity spread across multiple sizes. The included scoops are a thoughtful bonus for flour, sugar, and cereal.

The stackable design is what sold me. The square containers line up neatly on a pantry shelf, and the button handles double as a grip when you pull a container down. My pantry looks cleaner and more organized than it ever has.

The clear fill lines printed on the side let me measure ingredients directly into the container without using a separate cup. For baking, that small shortcut adds up to real time saved.

Best for pantry organization and bulk storage

If you buy in bulk from Costco or store dry goods in large bags, these containers are the upgrade your pantry needs. The airtight seal is also a huge improvement for storing coffee, which goes stale quickly when exposed to air.

If you're planning a kitchen refresh around Prime Day, our guide to the best food storage container deals covers OXO sets alongside other top picks.

How it compares to glass containers

Glass containers feel more premium but weigh more, cost more, and break when dropped. The OXO POP plastic is lighter, more forgiving, and the airtight seal is generally tighter than the snap-lid glass sets I've tested.

11. OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Sinkware Caddy

This little caddy solved one of the most annoying problems in my kitchen: where to put the wet sponge and dish brush. Before the OXO caddy, my sponge sat on the counter leaving a puddle. With the caddy, the sponge sits in a ventilated tray that drains into a drip pan I can empty once a day.

The stainless steel finish matches most kitchen faucets and appliances. After eight months of constant water exposure, the steel still looks polished and shows no rust spots.

The removable divider is the most useful detail. I keep the divider in for sponges on one side and a dish brush on the other. The ventilation holes in the divider let everything dry between uses, which extends the life of both my sponge and my brush.

The drip tray holds enough water that I only need to empty it every other day. The pour spout lets me drain it directly into the sink without lifting the whole caddy.

Best for anyone tired of soggy sponges on the counter

If your sponge currently sits in a puddle next to the sink, this caddy fixes that problem immediately. It's also a smart pick for small kitchens where counter space is limited; the caddy sits neatly on the sink rim without taking over a corner.

It's not as spacious as larger plastic caddies, but it's far more attractive and built to last. The 15,000+ reviews on Amazon suggest most people agree.

How it compares to plastic sink caddies

Plastic caddies discolor and stain over time, and the cheap ones tend to develop mildew in the corners. The stainless OXO caddy wipes clean with a damp cloth and shows no signs of staining after months of use.

12. OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer

If you cook with lemon or lime juice more than a few times a month, a dedicated citrus squeezer changes everything. I used to roll citrus on the counter and squeeze by hand, which left seeds in everything. The OXO squeezer extracts the same amount of juice with seeds and pulp left behind.

The die-cast aluminum feels heavier than I expected for the price. It sits flat on the counter, doesn't tip when I bear down on a lemon, and the bowl shape catches every drop.

The strainer holes are sized to catch seeds while letting juice flow freely. I tested it against a fork method on the same lemon and the OXO squeezer extracted noticeably more juice with less effort.

The non-slip handles are wide enough to fit both hands when squeezing a large grapefruit. The pressure-absorbing design keeps your wrists comfortable even when juicing several fruits in a row.

Best for bakers, cooks, and cocktail makers

If you make lemonade, margaritas, or any dish that calls for fresh citrus juice, this squeezer earns its place on your counter. America's Test Kitchen has recommended it for years, and our testing agrees.

It's also a smart pick for anyone with hand strength issues. The lever-style pressure is far easier than squeezing by hand, and the strainer does the work of separating seeds.

How it compares to plastic citrus squeezers

Plastic citrus squeezers tend to crack under repeated pressure and rarely include a strainer. The OXO aluminum version holds up to years of use and strains seeds at the same time.

13. OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads

These are the tongs I reach for when I'm cooking on my non-stick pans. The nylon heads won't scratch the coating, and the high-heat resistance handles everything from a hot skillet to a simmering sauce. After 18 months of regular use, the heads show no signs of melting or warping.

The 9-inch length is shorter than the 12-inch stainless version but easier to maneuver for tasks like flipping a single chicken breast or tossing a small salad. The locking mechanism works smoothly and keeps the tongs closed in a drawer.

The scalloped edges grip food without crushing it. I tested them on a plate of spaghetti and a tray of roasted vegetables, and the grip stayed secure on both. The thumb rest on the inside of the handle gives you extra control when flipping heavy items.

The combination of stainless steel arms and nylon heads is more durable than all-nylon tongs. The arms provide the strength, while the heads protect the cookware.

Best for non-stick and ceramic cookware owners

If your main pans are non-stick or ceramic, these tongs are a smarter choice than the stainless version. The nylon heads will keep your cookware looking new for years.

They also work well for stirring pasta in a non-stick pot. The longer stainless tongs scratch the bottom; these nylon-head tongs glide without damage.

How it compares to the 12-inch stainless tongs

The 12-inch stainless version is built for grilling and high-heat work. The 9-inch nylon version is built for everyday non-stick cooking. Many OXO owners keep one of each.

14. OXO Good Grips Dish Scrub Brush

The last item on this list of best OXO kitchen tools is the one I underestimated most. With over 25,000 reviews, this dish brush has earned its spot as America's favorite way to clean non-stick pans. The nylon bristles scrub away baked-on food without scratching the coating, and the built-in scraper on the side of the head lifts residue that ordinary brushes leave behind.

The flared brush head with angled bristles is the secret weapon. It reaches into the corners of my Dutch oven and the curve of my stand mixer bowl, places where flat brushes can't get.

The non-slip handle is soft and grippy even when my hands are covered in dish soap. The shape fits naturally in the palm, which matters when you're scrubbing a 9x13 casserole dish after dinner.

The brush is dishwasher safe, so I can sanitize it weekly without thinking about it. The bristles hold their stiffness through repeated washes.

Best for anyone with non-stick cookware

If you use sponges or steel wool on non-stick pans, you're slowly destroying the coating. This nylon brush scrubs effectively without any scratch risk. It's also great for water bottles, baby bottles, and tall jars.

It's also a smart replacement for worn-out plastic brushes. The OXO design lasts longer and cleans more thoroughly than the cheap brushes I used to buy at the grocery store.

How it compares to traditional sponges

Sponges absorb grease and start smelling within a week. The OXO brush rinses clean in seconds, and the dishwasher cycle keeps it sanitary for months. After switching, my sink area smells cleaner and my dish soap usage actually went down.

How to Choose the Best OXO Kitchen Tools for Your Needs

Choosing the right OXO products depends on how you cook, what you already own, and which OXO line matches your style. OXO offers several distinct product lines, and understanding the differences helps you avoid buying duplicates or missing key pieces. Let me walk you through the OXO lines, what to prioritize first, and the common mistakes home cooks make.

Understand the OXO product lines

OXO organizes its catalog into a few distinct families. The Good Grips line, which makes up most of this list, focuses on everyday cooking with soft-touch ergonomic handles. The OXO Steel line, like the Prep & Serve 6-Piece Set, focuses on polished stainless steel that transitions from kitchen to table. The OXO Brew line covers coffee and tea equipment like the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder and the OXO Brew Pour-Over Kettle. The OXO Tot line targets kids and families with smaller, lighter tools.

If you're starting from scratch, the Good Grips line covers the widest range of cooking tasks and has the longest track record for durability. The Steel line is better for hosts who bring cookware to the table. The Brew line is essential if you make pour-over coffee or tea daily.

Prioritize the essentials before the extras

The five tools I recommend buying first are the swivel vegetable peeler, the 12-inch locking tongs, the multi-purpose kitchen shears, the small silicone turner, and the citrus squeezer. Together, these cover roughly 80% of everyday prep tasks. They also tend to be the items OXO users replace the most because they wear out first.

Once those are in your kitchen, add a digital scale if you bake, the POP containers if you store dry goods in bulk, and the sink caddy if you're tired of a soggy sponge. The 20-piece Everyday Set is a smart way to fill in everything else in one purchase.

Match the tool to your cookware

The biggest mistake I see home cooks make is using stainless steel utensils on non-stick pans. If your main pans are non-stick, prioritize OXO's silicone and nylon tools (the silicone turner, the 3-piece silicone utensil set, and the 9-inch nylon tongs). If your pans are stainless steel or cast iron, the stainless tongs and turners will hold up better.

For serving, the OXO Steel Prep & Serve Set looks more elegant on the table than silicone tools. For storage, the POP containers are the best OXO option for dry goods; for liquids, look for OXO's glass storage line instead.

Compare OXO with KitchenAid and other brands

Readers often ask whether OXO is worth the higher price over KitchenAid or budget brands. After testing both, I think OXO wins on ergonomic handles and dishwasher durability. KitchenAid tools often have similar build quality but with slimmer handles that aren't as comfortable for long cooking sessions. Budget brands from the grocery store usually mean plastic handles that crack and blades that dull quickly.

If you want a balanced kitchen, mix OXO essentials (peeler, shears, tongs, scale) with KitchenAid specialty tools (stand mixer attachments, larger gadgets) and reserve budget brands for items you don't use often.

Final Verdict on the Best OXO Kitchen Tools

After testing 14 OXO kitchen tools across multiple categories, our team picked the OXO Good Grips 20-Piece Everyday Kitchen Set as the best overall value, with the OXO Good Grips Swivel Vegetable Peeler as the most affordable single upgrade. The peeler has over 52,000 reviews and costs less than a takeout dinner, which makes it the easiest OXO product to recommend.

If you want to build a complete OXO kitchen, start with the swivel peeler, the 12-inch stainless tongs, the multi-purpose shears, the silicone turner, and the citrus squeezer. Add the digital scale if you bake, the POP containers if you cook with dry goods, and the dish brush to protect your non-stick pans. Every product on this list of best OXO kitchen tools is backed by the Good Grips guarantee, so any tool that fails gets replaced.

OXO has earned its reputation as the most trusted name in kitchen tools, and our testing in 2026 confirmed why. Pick the items that fit how you cook, and you'll end up with a kitchen that's easier, more comfortable, and far more durable than a drawer full of mismatched gadgets.
