Salad spinner

[jackie j]

I have a salad spinner and it takes soooo much water out of lettuce it doesnt go limp. Try one if you can.

I have 2.
One is a push button in the middle, and the other one you pull a string.
Both do a fantastic job- and you can even serve the lettuce in the clear plastic dish if you wish!
( the push button one is the easiest to use!)

Before that I used to sent my OH outdoors with the washed lettuce inside a clean tea towel and get him to swing it round a few times- that did the trick, but the leaves were often pretty crushed.
I agree JJ -Salad spinners are so much easier!

I've used one for a fair while, they are excellent

I have just got a Jamie Oliver one, been after one for ages and it is great!

Hmmm mine is one you hold with one hand while spinning with the other, me thinks I will be looking for something better / easier.

I have recently bought one and I concur.
T'would be nice to have some good weather though so that I can try it out on home grown lettuce

I put my salad into one of those small net bags (the kind they recommend for putting your bras in to wash) and swing it round a few times in the garden. Works a treat!!

My mum used to use the tea towel spinner.........I on the other hand , have a plastic turn the knob spinner......but if I'm only washing a couple of leaves then I use kitchen roll and pat'em dry .

Salad spinner - best gadget in the kitchen. Pick the salad in the bowl it comes with. Wash salad in the bowl. Decant washed salad into the spinning colander and spin! Simple.

Good Grips Salad & Herb Spinner

I think these salad spinners are great. Use mine most days.

The only issue I have is the silly plastic clips for the lid and body could be better designed on mine.

Just bought one of those oxo good grip ones from lakeland, looking forward to using it tonight.

They are brilliant as well for spinning peas etc after blanching before open freezing so they don't stick together.


Wouldn't be without mine!!

I bought mine from Sainsburys for £1.99. I think they have increased the price to £2.99, but they are well worth it.

Wonderful, no soggy lettuce leaves.
