OXO Salad Spinner

Those who work in the kitchen are probably familiar with the idea of a salad spinner, but this is a great thing to have in the kitchen that people who are not pros do not always know about. A salad spinner is part of making not just great salad, but any kind of veggies that you want to be in great shape when you serve them. It helps dry out the lettuce we eat in a salad and this particular model from OXO has made it super easy for me to operate because you can work it one handed and there is zero struggle. You can use it in the dish washer but you want to make sure you keep it on the top rack. You can also store your lettuce or herbs easily in the fridge using this and that is a big part of its value. The reason a restaurant would use this is because they need to be able to have very good quality veggies to serve and people do not want a limp wet salad. I love being able to make restaurant quality salad at home because people will eat it more easily which means I am improving my family’s diet just by owning this. I think for $16 it was a great value and I use it a lot more than I thought I would. If you want a great price on a really useful way to make your salad a lot more palatable then this is the ideal way to go.
