How to Choose the Best Salad Spinner

A salad spinner is an absolutely essential must-have kitchen appliance for anybody who eats lots of salads or wants to include more greens in their diet. Salad spinners are basically kitchen gadgets specially designed to dry out salad leaves like fresh spinach, lettuce, and other leafy greens after they have been washed. You can make use of such appliances both at home and in the office to make sure that you are getting the freshest and most nutrient-packed vegetables possible.

• The best salad spinner, in my opinion, is made by the Cygnet Corporation. They have several models including the Remote Drying Hydrometer from the Cygnet Collection Series. This model drys leaves gently and thoroughly, leaving them almost entirely free of dust, dirt, or any other form of unwanted particles. It has simple one-button control. All you need to do is press the button and wait for your vegetables to be completely dried.
• Another great feature of this model is that it can handle both romaine and curly greens completely dry. If you want to use curly greens in your salad, this is the type of spinner for you. Aside from its effective drying ability, this unit also seals the leaves for an even crisper taste. Another great feature of this dryer is its temperature control; you can adjust its temperature to adjust for the right time of day so that your greens will be totally dry no matter what time of day you decide to prepare them.
• The next item on our list is the Cuisinart 3-quart salad spinner from Brands. The design of this unit is very similar to Spin Pro’s design. The only real difference is that this model comes with a removable lid so you can easily clean out all the trays and blades at once. This makes it much easier to wash out the clogged-up plates faster.
• If you are a new cook like me, then I would suggest you go for the Cuisinart Pro Series. This series is specifically made for people who are new to making salads because it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to make the best salads right from scratch. This model is very easy to clean and keeps the blades spinning freely. These models have also been enhanced with a new feature – the built-in leaf cutter. This enables you to slice lettuce and other greens very neatly. Just flip this over and you have perfectly cut vegetables.

For those who are looking for something that will give you better value for your money, then the Cuisinart 3-quart salad spinner with storage is the perfect choice for you. It has all the benefits of the Spin Pro plus the ability to fit two separate compartments into its outer bowl. This enables you to use one basket for your lettuce and other greens while still leaving room in the inner bowl for your canned and bottled items. The built-in colander on this model also keeps your salad bowl clean and free of debris.
