Why Do you Need a Salad Spinner

I love eating a nice fresh salad from the garden, but washing and drying the lettuce leaves are a royal pain in the neck, that’s why a Salad Spinner is such an ingenious idea.

Works very much like the spin cycle on a washing machine. Insert your cleaned greens and dry them in just seconds.

Pump Action Salad Spinners

Spin your cleaned greens for wonderful fresh salads

Works very much like the spin cycle on a washing machine.

It’s simple science really, put your washed lettuce and greens in the inner basket which spins around forcing the water into the outer bowl by centrifugal force. But this design of the OXO Good Grips Green Salad Spinner has gone through many designs including a crank handle, levers, and a pull cord.

The pump action spinner not only works the best but it’s fun! You might even get your kids to help in the kitchen.

Do I NEED Another Kitchen Gadget?

Salad Spinners are Great for Diabetics

Yes, I have to ask myself the same question. I have a cabinet full of Pampered Chef, State Fair Salsa Maker, mixers, George Foreman, and a dehydrator (plus other random “stuff”). The Salad Spinner will take up valuable real estate in my cabinet. But, if I use it on a regular basis then it will sit on my kitchen counter. Then I will need to put the dehydrator away.

But a salad spinner is my key to eating healthy this summer, to eating natural and maybe it will even help me lose weight. I’m really pushing it here ain’t I? I was also just diagnosed with Type II diabetes so salad is a daily habit now.

When you plant your garden, plant a row every week for 2-3 weeks so you can have fresh lettuce all throughout the summer. Drying lettuce with paper towels is a hassle. So going to buy a Salad Spinner.

Helpful items when you are making a salad

I love packing a salad for lunch, and there are many salad containers that have freezer packs so you don’t need a refrigerator. The ice pack keeps the lettuce crisp and cool without refrigeration and the dressing dispenser is ideal for a light lunch.

I love mine and have used it a lot at work. But I’m always looking for new designs.
