Bestselling Salad Spinners - Oxo Good Grips, Zyliss and More

Shown to the right, the easy-to-use Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner requires that you use only one hand to operate it. Just push the knob in the center up and down. So you don't need to hold it in place with the other hand. This is great if you have arthritis or tendonitis in one of your hands or wrists and aren't always able to hold it with two hands. You can even lock the handle in the down position and store your greens in the Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner, so there's no need to buy a lettuce saver. Clean up is a snap because it's top rack dishwasher safe.

You'll notice straight off that the Progressive International Salad Spinner has a long handle for your to hold, while you dry your lettuce and other leafy greens. It also has a pour spout on both sides so left-handed people (like me!) can easily use it as well. There's just the two of us and the small 2.5 quart capacity is perfect. A small salad spinner is great for herbs and smaller greens. I do like the fact that the inside basket comes out so you can easily clean it.

If you prefer stainless steel food preperation equipment, yes, there are stainless steel salad spinners. Here's one from Oxo, one of the most trusted names in kitchen gadgets and tools. You can't see the leafy greens spinning on the side, but the cover is clear so you can see from the top. Just use one hand to push down on the center and you'll begin spinning. The button locks down for convenient storage. You can use the basket and base separately. So there's no need to use a second serving bowl. (Save on the clean up time.) The Bowl capacity is 6.34 quarts and the basket capacity is 4.95 quarts. So you'll have room to add tomatoes and other salad ingredients.

Farberware is also a trusted name in kitchen tools and gadgets. You'll find a conveniently sized and designed Farberware salad spinner on Amazon at competitive prices. There are lots of features that you'll love about this salad spinner. The non-slip base provides a stable work base, the soft-grip knob is easy and comfortable to use. The built-in spout allows you to quickly pour away excess liquid. You'll also use fewer serving dishes because the salad spinner bowl converts to a serving bowl.

You'll truly be amazed at how much easier a salad spinner makes preparing your greens. When that happens, I bet you'll eat more veggies - and that's a fantastic health habit to acquire.

Users give the IKEA salad spinner great reviews. It's a bit smaller than other salad spinners. Users consider this a plus, because it fits in refrigerators better than larger versions. The smaller size also means that it fits easily into cupboards and doesn't take up much room when it's not in use. The plastic construction makes it lightweight and easy to handle. Although users caution that it needs to be used gently. That shouldn't be a problem. It doesn't take that much energy to spin water out of lettuce. For cooks that don't have much storage space or are on tight budgets, the inside portion can also be used as a strainer.
