Bar Gadgets Can Make Ones Life A Little Easier
Anyone can tell you that the best thing about setting up a home bar is being able to buy all the latest gadgets. Recently, we heard about a company called Oxo, which produces dozens of handsome bar gadgets for every budget. The Oxo good grips mirror-like stainless steel with black rubber accents transform ordinary bar accoutrements into miniature artworks. Read on for our top picks.
1. The Oxo 7-piece Barware kit: the perfect starter set for your home bar. The barware kit also makes a great gift for anyone who loves playing barman. Bar gadgets included in the kit include a small cutting board, bar stand, strainer, mixing spoon, jigger, and bottle opener. All the gadgets sit in an elegant stainless steel bar stand for easy access. This kit really cannot be beaten for style, quality, and price.
2. Even bar will need a device to open various bottles, and this winged corkscrew will meet every such need. For wine bottles, this model easily and comfortably removes the cork, and tucked away in the knob is a foil cutter as an extra bonus. We review many corkscrews and openers, but this one is a stand out for ease of use and features.
3. POP containers: these great little bins provide storage for food in visually-pleasing, clear, cubical containers. Available in every size you could want, they provide attractive storage for such items as condiments and garnishes. Using these containers will help turn your home bar into a truly delightful area in which to snack, drink, and relax.
4. Turnable Condiment Tray: while a turnable condiment tray may not be one of those kitchen gadgets you consider necessary in your kitchen, it does make an attractive and functional addition. The “Turnable” is a stainless steel lazy susan with a gorgeous mirrored shine. This lovely work of art provides elegant storage and accessibility for such items as napkins, condiments, and other tabletop accessories.
Fifth, while the shaker seems a rather humble gadget, Oxo’s shaker is outstanding. The stainless steel shaker has a novel double-wall construction to ensure that you keep a good grip on it while making your drinks. It has a rubber grip, like Oxo’s other bar gadgets, to make it easier to shake. The high-quality strainer included with the shaker is also good.
Oxo is a company that produces bar gadgets and kitchen gadgets in every price range. Oxo good grips make these gadgets the finest in bar accessories. Try the Oxo 7-piece barware kit, which includes a cutting board, bar stand, strainer, mixing spoon, jigger, and bottle opener all placed in an elegant stainless steel stand. Oxo’s winged corkscrew is a top-of-the-line bottle opener, made of stainless steel and comfortable to hold. Oxo also offers a clear cubical food storage container called the POP container and a stainless turntable condiment tray that rotates quietly and smoothly. The Oxo shaker remains cool and comes with its own strainer.
