OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, Large, Clear the Salad Spinner Extraordinaire!

The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, Large is the best, biggest and funnest salad spinner ever!

It is truly the largest capacity salad spinner I could find and I probably spent a couple of hours over a period of days searching for the right spinner for our family.  My husband and I make green smoothies every day and eat some combination of greens daily so finding the right one was a big deal.

I tried the Xtraordinary Home Products Large Salad Spinner, White, notice how the description says LARGE, its not.  It's about 8" in diameter and could probably spin greens for a small dinner salad for one person.  So back to Amazon it went.

Enter OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner which totally fit the bill.

It's very nice looking.  The outer container could easily serve as a serving bowl, but we don't use it for that.  The top is easily detachable for cleaning.  We rinse after each spinning and towel dry.  Don't put it in the dishwasher, you'll make it all cloudy and ugly.  I've also used this salad spinner to spin the water off of pasta when I'm making a cold pasta salad.  Of course I cool the pasta first with cold water.

I think its fun to pump the spinner!  Ha!  You pump a few times and then it spins like crazy, like maybe for an additional 15-20 seconds.  And it takes all of the water off the leaves.  Check it out!

We use this badboy at least two-three times a day and it's showing no sign of wear and tear.  We received it April 1st and this is June 21st, I took the video and photos today so figure we've used this handy kitchen tool conservatively 180 times and its still going strong.

Bottom line, LOVE this huge OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, Large, Clear the Salad Spinner, it is awesome!  And yes, that's a Vitamix in the background, I'll get around to reviewing it as well.
