Product Description

The OXO GOOD GRIPS Cake Tester is the perfect tool for gauging when cakes are ready to come out of the oven. Insert the stainless steel wire into the center of your cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. No more wasting toothpicks or wooden matches for this simple task. A soft grip is comfortable to hold, and the Cake Tester is dishwasher safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful February 22, 2008
I really like this cake tester.
It's easier to hold and longer than a toothpick.
Be sure to wipe it off right after using it so it doesn't get crusty.
Even if it does - you can wash it.
A wonderful product, and definitely worth the $2!

The cake tester works as good as a toothpick without worrying about the splinters. It seems more sanitary and I like the extra length.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's too thin to work well. October 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
This tester looks thicker in the photos than it actually is. It's quite a bit more thin than your average toothpick. It's so thin that it always comes out clean for me when I use it. I test with this cake tester and it comes out clean but a thin knife like I normally use comes out soupy. It's a neat product but it needs to be thicker.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never Shows Goo (and that's BAD) March 20, 2008
My daughter snapped my old cake tester and I didn't realize that all cake testers were not created equal when I bought this Oxo one. sighhhhh It's got a nice handle for pinching between my fingers, sure, but the skinny wire doesn't really show if the batter is still gooey when I poke something that's baking. My old cake tester (sighhh again) had a little flattened piece on the end of the stick and THAT successfully showed any goo whereas this Oxo cake tester never shows goo.
Oh well. It's useful for popping the bubbles in my loaves of bread before their final rise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this!! November 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Yes. I know you can just use a toothpick, but why would you when you have this? You can use a paper cup to drink from too but most of us use cups that are reusable don't we...

Sometimes you have to check something several times before it is done. That means using several toothpicks, or one of these.

If you bake, you need this. If you know someone who bakes, get this for them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good cake tester, perhaps not necessary March 20, 2009
This is a great cake tester, and good for quick breads in loaf pans. It is very bendy however so you want to use it for quick breads/muffins/cakes only. I probably would not have bought this if I had found a tip from Cooks Illustrated earlier- to use a strand of dry spaghetti to test cakes. This method works really well, perhaps better than the cake tester. But since this product is so cheap it's still a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent cake tester December 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
so far i've used it on everything BUT cakes but it does its job, good quality handy i like the circle on top so i can fasten it to the dishwasher basket and its length is just perfect. no more underdone bundt cakes. and i like that unlike knives it really doesnt RUIN the testing area. no more burnt fingertips trying to tap hot baking goods.
i love OXO. if i continue i'll be a full OXO household

very handy and does the job well. it beats wasting tooth pick after toothpick to check your cake or brownies to see if they are done

5.0 out of 5 stars well made product
Not too much to say about a simple product like this but it has performed very well for 1.5 yrs and seems that it will last for a long time. The grip in the head is excellent.

The holder is perfect on the top. I keep it in a decorative holder next to the oven. Great buy.

Since my eyes are not that good, this is tremendous. Everyone she have one. If they don't, hopefully they will get on in the near future.

This product is better and safer than using a tooth pick. And it is long. I would recommend this to a friend.

Nice to have. Not really a must have, but saves looking for toothpicks or using silverware to dirty. Will look for longer one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very poor product that fails at its primary task.
This is a terrible, awful cake tester. I've owned it for several months now, and it has failed to identify approximately 90 potential cakes that I have tested in the wild. Read more
