OXO Good Grips Spiralizer, Complete Grate & Slice Set and OXO Tot Set.

I have wondered for months if a Spiralizer would be any good and would I actually use it? The more I wondered about this, I seemed to hear my friends claiming over and over that its a kitchen tool they simply cannot live without. There are quite a few on the market so I went with a brand I know and trust – OXO Good Grips!

The machine itself impressed me with its size – this was not something that would take up a lot of room in my kitchen cupboards. However, its claims were none other than amazing – the Spiralizer will cut fruits and vegetables into noodles making every meal so much more healthy. You can use these various sized ‘noodles’ in place of pasta and have it with all your usual dishes or start from fresh and make a fun ‘twisty’ salad.

I adore courgettes and we grow them every year, or rather my kids do. They are so easy to grow and require minimal looking after. Now er have another super way to use them!

With the three blades that easily attach to the Spiralizer, you can select from thin to thicker sized noodles depending on the fruit or vegetable you are using. The website has a video which gives a great demonstration if you are stuck for ideas.

The OXO Complete Grate & Slice is also another kitchen tool OXO deserve credit for! Its one of the most compact yet useful graters I have ever seen and its very easy to use – what more do you want?

The grater blades are colour coded and they can be stored within the grater when not in use. You can grate anything from carrots, cheese, onion, etc and store your food within the grater as it comes with a handy lid. The basic graters are green and yellow but one is much finer so perfect for parmesan cheese.

Grate your cheese free hand or use the handy grip attachment – I use this as it prevents cutting your fingers when you are trying to grater the last piece of cheese!

I dumped my old grater the same day I tested this one! Its simple and easy to use and easy to store so perfect! RRP £30.00.

The OXO Tot set is a set of three items that will come in very handy when you are weaning your baby. The plastic is BPA free – a huge factor when using for food.

The bowl comes with a lid so perfect for taking along when you go out and the plate takes weaning to the next level – mums, you will know what I mean!! When you get to the stage of where your baby wants to feed himself the large ‘lip’ on the bowl will drastically reduce spills.

As for the knife and fork, these are so cute with their ‘baby appropriate’ handles.

This set is available from John Lewis all nicely packaged in a box so I deem this a fab baby gift – its something useful, very nice and because its boxed, its easy to wrap!
