There are two food rules I always keep in mind when building my meals: It can’t be dry, and it can’t be bland. It just so happens that dressings, sauces and marinades knock out both of those concerns in one fell swoop. And since there are only a select few store-bought options I like (like this Japanese barbecue sauce), most of my concoctions are homemade.

While I can make a tasty dressing with minimal effort, it doesn’t discount the fact that it adds an extra step to my cooking process. Luckily, my OXO dressing shaker’s clever design makes it a cinch to whip up flavor-packed vinaigrettes. My only qualm? I wish I owned more than one!

OXO Good Grips Twist & Pour Salad Dressing Mixer

This tool is aptly named the Twist and Pour dressing maker. It has a genius mixer on the inside that you turn by twisting a silicone ring on the lid. When the brand first sent this product to me last month, I didn’t think this feature was necessary. Couldn’t I just shake it? Yes, I could—but the mixer addition is wicked fast and powerful. It emulsifies mixtures quickly and easily, with far less effort than it takes to shake them. Whether I’m putting together a stir-fry sauce or trying to combine oil and vinegar, this gets the job done in just seconds.

I also appreciate that the base is a generous size. It holds up to 14 ounces, nearly 2 cups, which means I can actually batch enough dressing to last the week. It includes clearly etched measurement markings in cups, ounces and milliliters for guesswork-free prep. All I need to do is remember my perfect ratios. It has a wide opening for mess-free pouring, and once you twist the lid on, it’s completely leakproof.

The pièce de résistance is its pour lid, which has a convenient spout to dispense just the right amount of dressing at once—no globs here! It washes by hand easily since the pieces come apart, but they’re also dishwasher-safe for whenever a deeper clean is warranted.

Over 1,100 shoppers have already given this product a five-star rating, calling it their “favorite kitchen purchase in a long time.”

Grab this brilliant bottle for $25 and make your home-cooked meals for 2026 that much tastier. If you’re anything like me, you’ll wish you had more than one!
