Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Wooden Turner
Customer Review: An answer to a question that nobody asked
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had a couple of these for years. They are well made, but I hardly ever use them.
Functionality-wise, they are somewhere between a spoon and a spatula. But, the thing is, they don't work as well as a spoon or spatula would in their respective situations.
I have had tons of kitchen stuff over the years and I've owned just about everything at one time or another. As far as cooking utensils go, and as far as I can tell, there's nothing you can't do with a pair of silicone tipped tongs, a silicone spatula, a wooden spoon and a wooden slotted spoon. This particular item may have one or two specialized uses for which it is uniquely suited, but for the most part, a spatula or spoon would probably work better.
I rated 4 stars because it is exactly what it says it is and it seems to be high quality.
Customer Review: OXO never fails me
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm really glad I got this cooking utensil. I'm trying to slowly phase out most of my plastic cooking supplies with wood/bamboo. I was looking for something that wouldn't fall apart and something that I could use in my iodized steel calphalon pans without scratching them. OXO has impressed me in the past so I thought I'd give this turner a try. I'm very pleased with it. I've had it for 3 or 4 days now and have used it almost every day. The handle is very thick and sturdy, which I love. This tool is good for stirring, scraping food from the bottom of a pan, and crumbling foods like ground beef. I'm very satisfied.Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
$4 product, $7 shipping, took over two weeks to arrive. The turner was far larger than expected, almost 10 cm in circumference, therefore difficult to hold. The 36 cm length is not a bad thing, mainly the bulkiness of the handle is unweildy. It was also rough, not sanded properly. After a single use and two washings, the edge developed six cracks, one is a cm long. Unable to locate a phone number for the seller, I emailed to request return instructions. The response was over two days' coming.Customer Review: Love It!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is what I use when making a roux and when I need to break up ground meat while cooking. It's nice and heavy and feels good in my hand. I have cheaper wooden products and they don't hold up as well as this does. You can tell the difference between OXO wooden utensils and others because of the quality. I think you can put it in the dishwasher but I never do. I hand wash it and oil it whenever I oil my cutting board. I love its rich color. It's a great product.Customer Review: heavy, and it cracked in the first month - do not be fooled by attractive low price
Summary: 1 Stars
I trusted OXO as a brand, but found this turner to be extremely heavy and non-ergonomic. Plus it cracked in less than one month and it's not like I cook that often. I think OXO should stick to extrusion plastic goods and stay away from wood products. Do not be attracted to this cheap price. Better to buy a bamboo turner for $1 at a Chinese supermarket - that lasts, is lightweight, and easy to wash.
