OXO Salad Spinner

The big plunger is the gas pedal on this hot-rod. The faster you hit it, the faster your lettuce flies. Clearly the older crank designs worked just fine, but they weren't nearly as much fun! The small button on the side is a BRAKE PEDAL! Who would have ever thought you'd have such a thing on a salad spinner? The first time I used this, I had every last bit of water off the lettuce just because I wanted to spin it and stop it again and again.

You'll have fun again when you spin your salad with this, the SuperSportsCar of spinners!


Perhaps the best invention since bagged salads   February 8, 2001

I can't believe I ever lived without this salad spinner. The pump design is flawless - three or four pumps and you can leave your produce to spin dry. The bowl is perfectly balanced; those couple of pumps allow it to spin almost five minutes if the inside sieve is not completely filled. And, best of all, the whole unit stores very easily with the other plastic bowls and whatnots. I used this to clean organic spinach the other day. It you are a fan of such, you have most likely encountered grit in even the best hand-washed variety. Not with the salad spinner! Furthermore, the leaves stay crisp and fresh. I've also used this with leeks and mushrooms and other hard to clean produce. You won't believe how much better and fresher your food will taste.
