here was a box that arrived for me the other day, and in it I found an OXO Anniversary Edition Upflit Tea Kettle (which is gorgeous, it’s displayed on my bookshelf instead of being used on my stove)…and in the same box was a DVD of all of the final demo videos that were filmed by the OXO video contest winners as part of the grand prize. The videos will be showcased on their new site (not live yet), but they were nice enough to send the videos over for a sneak peek!
First of all, I have to say that Jon and Yvette did an amazing job in their videos! I did okaaay – being in front of the camera isn’t my forte – but I had fun doing it, which is what really matters. It was a great experience I wouldn’t trade for the world.
XO does things a little differently than other companies. Their products aren’t made to sit on a shelf and look pretty – their products get everyday tasks done in the easiest and best way possible. And above all, they’re meant for any kind of user, regardless of how much experience they have in the kitchen. So, it made sense for them to have everyday people be the face of OXO, rather than paid actors.

OXO went over the top with everything again, treating us to breakfast, lunch, and the most amazing dinner at Morimoto. On top of that, they gave us a tour of their building and a tutorial on one of the products I’ll be doing a demo on. We didn’t have a chance to go on a tour of Food Network Studios, since they weren’t filming that day (All the sets are temporary! Can you believe that?), so a few of us went out on our own adventure in NY.
uess what?! I’m in New York right now. It was a hectic morning getting out the door, and a long 5 hour flight, but we made it! We arrived in NYC at 5pm, so we had just enough time to check out our hotel and get some dinner. We also received MORE STUFF from OXO. I know. Crazy. They’re spoiling us rotten.
an you believe I’m going to New York 7 HOURS?! It seems like just yesterday when we were both sitting on the couch, contemplating whether or not we should enter the
