It's worthless to have a salad spinner that sits in a bowl that has no drainage holes in the bottom. Not to mention the purpose of them is water removal and removal of pesticides and herbicides. I wouldn't recommend using the bowl as some serving bowl knowing what's on the bowl, and I'm sure it's hard to remove even with washing.
I love this oxo spinner. Id previously purchased a random brand off Amazon that had a chopper lid too. The spinner hardly spun, the gear teeth skipped , the chopper was nice but the storage lid never ever fit. Found an OXO in a good will. 1000% better.
I see so many people online using it wrong by just rinsing it under the sink. I always tell them, when it comes to salad, a bath cleans better than a shower.
I don't think spoiling is an issue if you prepare salad for eating straight after (maybe if you do it many hours in advance). But, wet/damp lettuce doesn't get coated properly by my dressing though and that's the reason I like my lettuce to be dry.
Looks like I will be buying a new salad spinner. Mine doesn't work very well. I never thought about using the bowl for washing greens, but it makes so much sense. Thanks!
I’ve been growing greens in my garden, so I use this spinner pretty frequently. It performs excellently but I do wonder about an electric spinner. Closest I’ve seen was a giant restaurant style for ~$700. Anything I could do to ease salad prep would help, just not at that price.
I’ve had mine over 10 years and it works like a charm everything time. Definitely a great investment
just don't eat salad. problem fixed.
Bought one I saw at a thrift store—turned out to be a great buy!
Their biggest sponsor had the best product? What a shocker.

Life is too short to be spinning salads!
lol just discovered this channel and there’s already 5 things in my amazon cart 😢😅

Same one you guys recommended 20 years ago. 👍🏼
Oxo, really? I'm surprised. Aren't they like, a budget brand?
Yep I have this one
Great tip!! Thank you!!
OMG having a little water in salad
I've got the one with the pullstring. Sooo many better than the press action (imo). I do 2 wash/dry cycles for perfect greens
if the salad is still a bit wet, the salad dressing will not adhere to it.
I paid $60 for it 3 years ago for a large one. It’s a lot for what it is. But works perfectly. Hope it last for a long long time.
We just put salad in a big strainer, cover it with a lid, and the youngest kid in the house shakes it vigorously until their hands go numb
I also jostle the greens between spins. May spinner’s not an OXO, but structured the same way.

OXO has great products. Ive never been disappointed. I have a hand crank can opener from them that I've had for maybe 20 years.

They have specially said they are not sponsored by OXO they just make good products. They're on PBS for goodness sakes.
Thank you
Put this one on our wedding registry and it's one of the best kitchen tools we got!
I broke my Oxo spinner and ordered a new one the same day. I cannot live without it.
❤❤❤
I’ve had one of those for over 10 years and that is exactly how I’ve always used it. It’s a great product
I feel crazy for thinking salad spinners were self explanatory

I love my Large OXO Salad Spinner, and I want the smaller version too. I use it so often and it's a real workhorse.
I have been talking about this salad spinner on my channel for over 5 years!! Love it ❤
Finally I can wash my lettuce and then cover it in microplastics!!!!! Just wash it with your hands….
Wow, you just unlocked an old memory of my mum (I’m British) putting lettuce into a clean tea towel & violently shaking all of the water out! ❤

OxO is on point with kitchen products, I always see them near the top America's test kitchen lists and I generally agree with a lot of them. Love ATK.

As seen on TV.
I always spin once, stop, lift out basket and shake to reorient leaves, then spin again. Maybe its just the engineer in me, but makes sense.
