The Oven Claw Review

I had the privilege of reviewing the Oven Claw for the past month and have grown to appreciate the concept and usefulness of this unique kitchen gadget.  You might be asking yourself, what is the Oven Claw?  The Oven Claw was invented by a former high-tech president, Bill Leikam.  He invented this new kitchen gadget in December of 2008, after watching his niece pull a hot oven rack with a wooden gizmo.  He improved the design and out came the Oven Claw.

 

As I was using this gadget, I kept asking myself, who would benefit from using this unique gadget.  The first thing I thought was for cooks with back issues, this gives an extension to allow you to pull out the hot oven racks without needing to bend completely over to reach the racks.  It provides an effortless hand to allow you to touch the hot metal without getting close to the dangers of burns and heat emitting from the oven.

 

I also thought this product would be great for kids and people who have impaired dexterity to allow them to safely remove the oven racks.  This product makes baking and using the oven safer.  I also had a BBQ during my use of the product and used the Oven Claw to remove the hot circular BBQ rack without getting close to the heat and found it really useful since the unique claw grasped the grill perfectly.

 

One improvement I would suggest for this product would be to make a metal version for the BBQ.  This gadget feels great in your hand and is beautifully shaped and the wood looks like a beautiful wooden bat with a unique hand that fits the oven racks like hand in glove.  Take a look at the pictures shown below to see it in action. 

 

Bill was also featured on Newsweek, as one of America’s most promising Start-ups.
