Are you a fan of salad spinners?

Sainsburys do them for £2 as well - although I got mine there on offer for 50p - wasn't sure I would use it but it's great.

I bought my salad spinner at Ikea and I'm sure it was only about £2.

If you're eating a lot of salad, I'd buy one....

At £2 I think I'll give it a go - and it means I can have a mooch in Ikea in my lunch hour.

I've only got £2.50 in my purse and I'll force myself to leave my debit card at work so I should be safe in there :eek:

This reminds me of when I was about 11 or 12, I bought one for my mum as a birthday present, she didn't look too impressed with it and I don't think I ever saw her use it :rotfl: I'd chuck it at my DD if she bought me one for my birthday lol!!

They are a good idea in principle but I think stick a plate over the top of a colender (sp?) and it does the same thing personally.

Nope - another thing to clean!

rinsing out with a bit of water takes around 30 seconds

I use my salad spinner to wash lettuce and it is brilliant. When my last one gave up the ghost I replaced it with a brand new one, still in its box, from a charity shop for £1.

Cleaning it is not a big prob, I rinse it under the tap till the bits of green go and let it drain. No big hardship.

I like my salad spinner and it doesn't take up too much space if you stack your colander etc. Its a useful thing I think, not like the electric steamer I acquired some years ago and never got the hang of!

I don't have a salad spinner, but after washing the leaves, I put them in the middle of a clean tea towel, gather up the corners, stand outside the back door and whizz the tea towel round as fast as I can - works for me!

Mine is fab and an important part of our kitchen. It is easy to use and clean and I for one wouldn't be without it.

LOL, I like the sound of this. Dry lettuce and a bit of exercise at the same time!!

Mine would probably end up on the back step!
