Salad spinners often turn up is charity shops!

I have got a cheapy spinner given as a wedding present 25 years ago ...it lasted longer than the marriage !! Takes up loads of cupboard space so is shoved up near the ceiling and I can't be bothered to get it down. It works effectively though. I've often wondered if it would work as a mini spin dryer for camping!

This thread has brought back a lovely memory though of a very dear friend who died many years ago. When we all lived in the nurses home the kitchen was two floors and two long corridors away so lettuce would be rinsed in the sink in his bedroom and then put in a tea towel and 'spun' in the very long corridor outside the rooms spraying water along the carpet ! I'm too 'old and sensible' to do approve of that now but it was funny at the time.

I saw some in our Instore (Lincoln), for around £2 or £3. They weren't the best quality, but would do the job.

I got mine a couple of months back in sainsbury's. It's a basics one and was £1.99. Works just like my Mum's (which cost a LOT more!).

We have always had a salad spinner and I think it's great. Ours is quite cheap though with holes in the bottom, so it's fine as long as you do it on the draining board at the sink. My parents have a better one which collects the water, so it depends how much you want to pay. They both do the same job, just depends if you care about the water being a bit messy.
