OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner

Easy, 1 handed operation. Patented pump mechanism and brake button. Soft, nonslip knob locks down for convenient storage. Nonslip ring keeps bowl steady on countertop. Basket and nonslip bowl may be used separately. Top rack dishwasher safe. Dimensions: 10'' x 10'' x 7''.

Washing and drying leafy vegetables has never been simpler or more fun than with this gadget. One hand is all you need to press the soft, cushioned knob to start the spinning; when the built-in brake is applied and the job is done, the basket and bowl can be taken apart and used separately. The knob locks down for easy storage, and the spinner is dishwasher-safe. Use this tool with lettuce, raw spinach, broad-leafed herbs, and greens--they end up clean and oh-so-dry, and the drier your leaves, the better salad dressings will adhere and the less mushy your sandwich bread will become. Puddles at the bottom of your salad bowl disappear... Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
