OXO Good Grips Fruit & Vegetable Tools
OXO Good Grips products feature soft, flexible handles made out of Santoprene,
a processed rubber, to ensure a comfortable grip. Embedded 'fins' on handle sides flex under
pressure and conform to individual finger grips. The fins also give users control even when the
handle is wet or slippery. Our large handles are proportionately designed to fit easily in the palm.

Growing in popularity, mangoes are now available in many stores year-round and can be eaten
fresh, cubed into salads, or sliced and baked on top of chicken breasts. Helping prepare the

plastic device with sharp stainless-steel blades in the center and OXO's signature black
comfort handles on two sides. Holding both handles, the user pushes the blades down through
the mango from the top, separating the seed from two halves of mango. The flesh can then be
cubed or sliced off the skin on those two halves. After the prep work, the mango splitter
slips right into the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning. |
