We’re coming to the end of the year and by January we will all be feeling the effects of Christmas on our wallets or purses. With this in mind I thought it would be a good idea to run a competition to win some prizes that could save you some money and possibly open some new doors for you too. So one of my favourite brands, Oxo, gave me free reign to choose the following fabulous prizes!
First I picked the Oxo Good Grips Chef’s Mandolin Slicer (rrp £60) which after road testing I can say is a doddle to use. I’ve never had a food processor which chops or slices so having this mandolin is a real bonus and doesn’t cost anything to run. I sliced salad vegetables and cabbage for coleslaw with great ease. After a quick turn of the dial I was making julienne of carrots which only take a few minutes to steam, thus saving energy. You can make you own French Fries (another saving) and there’s also a crinkle and waffle cutting mode for jazzing up your potatoes etc. The biggest joy for me was seeing my daughter eat slim slithers of tomato and green pepper in her salad as these are things she doesn’t usually eat. It’s amazing what a change of size and shape will do for the appetite! Taking the mandolin apart for cleaning is easy and although I saw dishwasher proof mentioned for the plastic parts, I think it’s no effort to plunge the whole lot in the sink for a quick wash. I was concerned about storage, but I needn’t have worried as the food holder clips neatly underneath and the legs fold away so it’s compact and easy to store. I don’t know how I’ve managed all these years without a mandolin!
Next I chose the Oxo Good Grips Digital Instant Read Thermometer (rrp £15.50) which comes with a handy case which tells you the correct temperature for your meat and poultry. Again I’ve never owned one of these and I can’t tell you the number of recipes which haven’t been made because of this. Not only is it brilliant for telling if your meat is cooked but you can also use it for making sweets, marshmallows, fudge, jam etc.
I recently attempted to make fudge for the first time and I have to say it was a failure as I didn’t judge the stage where you can roll a ball of mixture between your fingers well enough. A thermometer would have saved me and the cost of my ingredients! (There’s only so much wet fudge you can or want to eat:-) So if you win this prize you can save money by not overcooking or undercooking your roasts and be thrifty by making your own edible gifts!
Finally I just had to choose the Oxo Good Grips Spice Jar Measuring Spoons (rrp £12) because who ever invented these was a genius. The number of times I’ve spilled expensive spices over the worktop when I’ve had to shake them out, I can’t tell you. Then there are those annoying new tall Baking Powder and Bicarbonate of Soda containers that an ordinary measuring spoon won’t reach down into once they’re half used. Well these are problems of the past now the Spice Jar Measuring Spoons have come to the rescue saving you your money and your sanity – no more wasted ingredients on the worktop – yippee!

Camilla
Monica, sorry this competition has closed, please go to Competition page to find current Oxo Spring Clean competition.
Adam Garratt
Gah I have a fear of mandolins, I just can’t bring myself to use one. All I can think about is ‘the’ rick stein episode where he tops his finger, ever since then I go all girly at the mere sight of one haha

Patricia Avery
The spice jar measuring spoons. I waste so much being clumsy with spoons that won’t fit in the jars 🙁
tracey taylor
Spice Jar Measuring Spoons – because all spoons in one place, easy to clean after use. I end up trying to hunt for a spoon that’s normally in the dish washer and I normally have dirty hands, makes me feel disorganised. These spoons would make me feel very organised and professional!
Rachel B
the measuring spoons because I am forever scrabbling about in the cutlery drawer looking for different sized spoons when cooking. I could keep these handy instead,
Sue Warr
The Mandoline Slicer

Glynis O'Halloran
the measuring spoons look great.
Emily Hutchinson
The mandolin, I’ve always fancied one.
Anne Hughes
Spice jar measuring spoons would definitely be my choice because its impossible to fit even the narrowest teaspoon into most spice or herb jars resulting in spice being spilt all over the worktop or too much spice going into whatever I’m cooking.
Jamie

Kelly Hooper
The thermometer, ive always wanted to make jam and fudge but never dared as I dont own a thermometer to know if the temperature is right.

The Mandolin Slicer. I’ve often seen these type of products and wondered if they were any good – so interesting to read your review

Cathy O

Sam Furniss
The Mandolin slicer so I can make dauphinoise potatoes without almost chopping my fingers off whilst trying to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible by hand.
Samantha Atherton
The measuring spoons, because I’m always baking and just have to guess tsp/tbsp all the time. I did used to have some plastic ones but my little used them to make mud pies in the garden and now i can’t find them. I’m guessing they may get dug up at some point in the future. But I’d prefer to win some new ones.
helenthemadex
the measuring spoons
Stephanie Burchatt
The Oxo Good Grips Digital Instant Read Thermometer for me. Been looking for a good one for ages!
Tracy Webster
I WANT to say that I love the Mandoline slicer, as I’ve been coveting one for ages and ages, but to be honest, I really want the Oxo Good Grips Digital Instant Read Thermometer, because I have a really bad habit of just “estimating” the time that I cook my meat in my slow cooker, and it either ends up being done, but could have been done longer, or being waaaaaaaay overdone.
The Digital Thermometer would be nice and helpful on giving me deliciously perfectly-cooked meat every time.
