This Little Salad Dressing Shaker + Pourer Is All You Need To Prevent Drizzly Disasters In Your Kitchen

Posted on 17/09/2023 by Srishti Mitra

I absolutely loved a well-made Chicken Caesar Salad! Feed me one for every meal, and I’m a happy and content birdie. But something I genuinely struggle with is preparing the dressing for the salad. Most of my salad dressing escapades and experiments turn into a messy scenario where there is dressing all over my kitchen, and almost none in my actual salad. The final dressing is always more watery and saucy than dressy, and the flavor always seems to be lacking. But this is where the OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker swoops in! It guarantees a spill-free dressing prep session.

Designer: OXO

Designed by the OXO, the shaker and pourer is the ultimate modern solution to creating some delicious dressing without creating a complete mess in your kitchen. It features a 1-cup charm and leakproof ability that is easy and efficient to use. Besides dressing you can also mix, serve, and store marinades and sauces. The shaker has a wide top that can be swiftly unscrewed to add a variety of ingredients like oil, mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, onions, mustard, etc. The cup has measurements in both milliliters and ounces to support easy measuring.

You simply need to add the ingredients to the shaker, screw the top, and shake the watertight container to quickly mix. Flip the top lever back to pour, and forward to seal! The shaker displays BPA-free talents and is dishwasher friendly as well. It has a capacity of 236 ml and comes in color variants of classic black and vibrant green. So, you can pick the color that perfectly matches your kitchen and vibe!

The shaker has a compact and small form that can be easily placed anywhere in your kitchen. You could also store it on your dining table for easy access, allowing you to pour the dressing right before you serve your salad. The Good Grips Shaker also seems pretty easy and straightforward to clean, so washing it won’t take much of your time. If you’re someone who’s prone to creating drizzly disasters, then the Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker is the savior you’ve been searching for!

The OXO Cookie Press lets you easily pump out a whole batch of perfectly shaped holiday-themed cookies

Posted on 20/12/2021 by Sarang Sheth

Much better than any cookie-cutter you’ll ever use, OXO’s Cookie Press doesn’t cut cookies, it pumps or extrudes them. The Cookie Press is a hand-operated cookie-pumping machine that relies on a stainless-steel die to push out intricately formed cookies with speed and consistency. Just load the die-disc of your choice into the Cookie Press’s base and fill the cylinder with cookie dough (your dough needs to be neither too wet nor too dry) and attach the pumping handle on top and you’re ready to go!

Think of the OXO Cookie Press as a culinary version of a Play-Doh Fun Factory that pumps out cookie dough instead. You start by loading the batter (which needs to have the consistency of dough, to begin with) into the barrel, screwing the plunger, and finally loading the appropriate shape/die disc at the mouth. The Cookie Press comes with a rubberized non-friction base so that the device doesn’t slip as you pump out cookie after cookie, and each ‘pump’ of the handle gives you a perfectly shaped cookie to create a consistent batch. You can mix different colors/flavors of doughs together too, creating a marbled collage of cookies that look and taste extraordinary, and OXO offers a whole variety of patterned die discs to choose from (including 10 Christmas-themed cookie dies too!) The only caveat is that the batter/dough needs to be smooth and devoid of any hard ingredients like chocolate chips or soft liquids like marshmallow fluff. Once the cookies are baked, however, you can layer them on with sprinkles, icing, or edible paint.

The OXO Cookie Press is faster to operate than traditional cookie cutters and works without generating the waste a cookie-cutter would, with all its discarded edges. It’s just perfect, really…!
