Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Shrimp Cleaner
Customer Review: No other tool quite like it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this is helpful when you master using it...which can take a bit of time if your used to using a knife. Having always used just a paring knife to cut and de-vein getting the hang of this was a bit of a struggle. I thought, being a bit of a foodie, I "needed" this.. Need, is a strong word...but I do like this now...The pre-cleaned and easy peel shrimp is much more espensive than just the shrimp in the shells...this does make it a bit easier.Once I *got* it, I think I am faster than I was. So since it doesn't take up much space and isn't expensive I think this was a good purchase.
That said... its a bit like a grapefruit spoon or melon baller in that it can be very nice to have and extreamly convenient to have under the right circumstances...but as to really needing it.. That is a hard call.
Description of OXO Good Grips Shrimp Cleaner
Nothing mars the presentation of pearly pink shrimp more than unsightly black veins, which are in fact not veins at all, but the alimentary canals of the shrimp. Now anyone who paid any attention at all in junior high biology knows that an alimentary canal is not high on the list of good things to eat. Get rid of them easily and efficiently with this specialized tool.The sharp, square teeth of the shrimp cleaner by Oxo remove the shell and devein the shrimp in one easy motion, eliminating the need to peel even the smallest shrimp. Insert the ridged shrimp cleaner into the end of the shrimp and pull.
The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handles put less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
