by Robin Holland-Smith

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.

First, Oxo's seven-piece Barware kit is a great way to start your home bar. If you enjoy playing bartender, the kit's cutting board, bar stand, strainer, jigger, mixing spoon, and bottle opener will be right up your alley. A stainless steel bar stand conveniently holds all the gadgets when they're not in use. The Oxo Barware kit is attractive, high-quality, and inexpensive.

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.

Third, POP containers are clear cubical storage units that comes in dozens of different sizes. They look much more interesting than most plastic food containers, and do an excellent job of storing garnishes, condiments, and other extras that will improve the look and taste of your drinks and snacks.

4. Turnable Condiment Tray: the "Turnable" is an elegant, stainless steel Lazy Susan with an attractive mirror shine. Napkins, condiments, and tabletop accessories of all kind are transformed into a beautiful work of art when placed on the convenient Turnable. Best yet, the Turnable kitchen gadgets rotate quickly, smoothly and noiselessly.

5. Shaker: it may seem like a basic necessity, but the Oxo shaker bar gadget is far more than ordinary. With its innovative double-wall construction, the stainless steel shaker stays cool and resists sweating and slipperiness. Like all Oxo bar gadgets, it has a comfortable rubber grip to make shaking a breeze. We also liked the included, high-quality strainer.

We recently heard about a company called Oxo, which is in the business of producing bar gadget in various price ranges. The combination of oxo good grips mirror-like stainless steel with black rubber accents used by the company in making these bar gadgets make them true works of art. Fourth, the turntable condiment tray is a steel Lazy Susan, elegantly designed and polished to a mirror finish. It conveniently and beautifully holds the necessary accesories like condiments and napkins. Turntable kitchen gadgets rotate quietly and smoothly to ensure that everyone at the table has access to their contents.
