Salad Spinners


There's at least one very famous celebrity chef out there who counts a salad spinner as one of the top 20 must-have kitchen tools. Maybe that statement just leaves you with questions. What do salad spinners do? What's the purpose behind them? It's a funny-looking contraption, so Kitchenware Direct totally understands the perplexity.

The good thing is, we've got some answers for you.
In the proverbial nutshell, what salad spinners do is remove any excess water or fluid from the salad. This is done by placing your lettuce (or the whole, undressed salad) into the inner basket and then giving the basket a good spin by pulling the spinner's handled string (very much like a spinning top or gyro toy) or cranking its handle—either way, it's sort of fun, believe it or not! If you're just dealing with lettuce here, it means it'll be that much crispier on your sandwiches. If you're going with the full shebang and making a salad, well, without all that excess water on the veggies the dressing or oil will cling nicely to them. The result is a far tastier side dish!

Now that you know, maybe it's time you gave a salad spinner a whirl!
