I have
never owned a salad spinner and actually never knew it existed. After
reading about it, I was interested to see what it was all about. For
those who are like me and didn't know what it actually does, it
washes and removes excess water from your salad. At first, I had a
hard time getting it to spin because I jam packed it with lettuce and
spinach, but when I took some out and tried again, it worked great.
It is very easy to use, just fill the colander with your salad
greens, put the lid on the bowl, pump the handle a few times and it
starts spinning instantly. If you want or need it to stop before it
does on its own, just press the stop button and it will halt
immediately. Then you just take out the colander and dump out the
water that is in the bowl. I was surprised and a little grossed out
to see how dirty the greens really are. I haven't used this for pasta yet, but I'm sure it will work great for that too. The colander and bowl can be used separately, are both dishwasher-safe and BPA Free. I haven't had any issues with the salad spinner so far but I do like that it comes with a 1 year warranty just in case I do.
