It drains easily excess water after washing your ingredients? The most obvious way to use your salad spinner is to dry greens. Then I went for the Oxo Salad Spinner and this went on well till I dropped it down accidentally and broke the bowl. You need a good cheap zyliss salad spinner. A good salad has to be crispy and crunchy with the right amount of moisture and above all the all the ingredients need to be fresh.
The idea of a salad spinner is not just to spin and expel the water but also to make the greens fluffy. Now after having used it for two months, I am happy that all the leaves go in to the spinner in a single go and unlike my previous small sized salad spinners, I don’t have to run it in batches. These salads are often still dirty even though the companies creating these salads claim they are clean and have been washed. Based on my experience I can tell youthat plastic salad spinners are useless for making salads everyday, and that they are not durable and break after few months of use. We have a lot of greens and salads are a must in the menu though kids don’t like them.
If you love salads but hate the prep, get this. This sounds kind of silly and lazy, but it is reality. It is better to invest in this and enjoy munching salad for at least two years unmindful of finding a substitute. I find it user friendly and it can be run by a single touch. But my favorite of them all is the Zyliss Salad Spinner. To use a salad spinner, put the unwashed lettuce and other salad material you wish to wash in the inner bowl.
It is always wise to invest in some decent brand though you have to spend extra money initially. Though it is expensive, I would highly recommend this to all those who make salad often as this not just serves the purpose but also can be used as a multifunctional handy kitchen tool. It can hold 6 quarts of greens and fresh leaves without cramming them into the spinner. For instance the large 9-3/4 inch bowl can be used as a regular kitchen bowl and it can also be used to serve fresh green salad and store them with tight fitting lid for later use.
