OXO Products

Annabellethecat66 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:25:08 GMT

I have the product they are showing K-39810 OXO- I can't count all of the measuring cups and stuff I own.

Every time I pass them up for this product! They are wonderful! I have them in red. It is easy to look down into them to see the amount you want.

For ladies and men who cook a lot I think they are well worth the money.

I'm just sayin'.

I've had the measuring cups for years, love them. Good products.

I know---but I have had this measuring cup for six years---bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond for four dollars...I don't think many people need four of them. Good product---but $27 is a little steep...not counting tax...

My favorite OXO thing is their 3 piece bottle cleaning set. If you have glass water bottles, double-walled cups with hard plastic straws or small jars you want to clean, this baby is for you.

I cannot say enough great things about OXO brand products. I have so many, I could fill a page with a list of them and every OXO brand product I've ever purchased has been excellent quality and very handy.

On a side note - I have never heard it pronounced as a word, as David did this morning. I always thought of the name as just letters - O*X*O. Anyway, no matter but it struck me as interesting and I just wondered if everybody but me thought of it as the 'word' Oxo, or just the three letters.

Happy day!

This is from the OXO website:

<h6>Meaning of OXO:</h6>

OXO's founder, Sam Farber, chose the name "OXO" because whether it's horizontal, vertical, upside down or backwards, it always reads "OXO."

<h6>Pronunciation:</h6>

We hear a lot of interpretations of the pronunciation of the name, the most common being "hugs & kisses" or "Oh-X-Oh." The official pronunciation is "Ox-Oh."

Well, look at you Smoky! Thanks so much for that info. The way David was pronouncing it was the correct way. Not that it matters or anything - it just struck me that I was wondering if I'm the only one saying (well, mostly thinking) oh-x-oh.

Anyway - great products!

Yes the measuring cups, esp. the small ones for Tbsp's are great. Purchased them in a 3 pack in one of the warehouse clubs I belong to.

I broke my one cup one a couple of weeks ago and bought a set of three different sizes, starting with the one cup, at Homegoods for $12.95

The measuring cups are wonderful. I was so impressed with them that I bought the 1 cup size as a random stocking stuffer type gift for each of my five sisters, just so they could try them. None of our eyesight is what it once was. Now I don't need to put the glasses on while measuring liquids.

glmama — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 22:30:42 GMT

Thanks, Annabelle. I don't have these, but I would like them! I checked Amazon for pricing. They have a set of 3 for $19.99. The added tiny cup size might've the difference?

I think they are worth the money as well. I purchased mine at BBB several years ago (they weren't a set) and paid about the same as QVC is charging for four pieces. I don't have the mini and don't need it. Got the blue in one, two and four cup capacity. Use one or all of them every day. They are very nice measuring cups to own.

Agree with you, chickenbutt. If OXO makes it, I probably have it. Next up, on order: measuring cup for sticky and gooey stuff.

I've had the measuring cup set in the OP for years, and it's my go-to measure for liquids. Used one just today to make crepes. I have another "top view" measuring cup set made by goodcook that I like almost as well. It doesn't have the little "ledges" that the OXO has. Can't have enough measuring cups.

On the pronunciation... I've always said OX-oh.

I also love these measuring cups, especially the small Tablespoon one.

I have a lot of OXO products. They are THE BEST.

I also own them and love them. I bought mine one at a time years ago and they were expensive. I think I have 3 sizes, a two cup, one cup and the tiny one.

At first I babied them and didn't put them in the DW, but I put them in the DW now. It hasn't hurt them a bit.

On my next visit to BB & B I'm getting the OXO brush to clean my indoor grill. The plates cannot be removed. It's a Wolfgang item and I love it.
