Adding greens to your diet is effortless with a salad spinner. This helpful device can assist with both washing and drying leafy greens. In just a few easy steps, your salad will be clean and ready to eat. Just toss salad into the green-loving gadget, fill it with water, and spin. Following the cleansing turns, you can drain the water and spin again to remove the excess. Sounds easy, right? If you're ready to streamline your salad prep, then check out our picks for the best salad spinners.
OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner
Reasons to buy
Easy one-handed operation is possible thanks to a pumping mechanism that spins the bowl. When it's not in use, the pump locks down into the flat top of the bowl. This model comes in both clear and green variants, both of which are good-looking and may deserve a spot on your counter.
Mueller Large 5L Salad Spinner
Reasons to buy
No more worries about wobbling while spinning, or breaking the handle that spins your salad, the Mueller spinner is built to stay put and to last you a long time. It has a pull bar to spin and includes an easy stop button, so water doesn't fly everywhere when you open it. The bowl is over 5qt, meaning you can wash many servings at once.
Cuisinart Salad Spinner
Reasons to buy
A bright green hand crank on the locking lid lets you control the direction of your salad spin, and the speed. This helps prevent the lettuce from getting stuck together and trapping water, making sure that your leaves are super clean and as dry as possible. Now you won't have to spin your veggies twice.
OXO Good Grips Little Salad & Herb Spinner
Reasons to buy
Perfect for the single-serving or cleaning a handful of berries, it's small size means it won't take over your countertop or dish drainer. The size of the bowl and pump are also suitable for kids or people with smaller hands. Its simple design fits with any kitchen so that you could leave it on the countertop for easy access -- but it won't take much cabinet space if you need to store it.
Westmark Germany Vegetable and Salad Spinner
Reasons to buy
After you spin your lettuce, the pouring spout makes it easy to get rid of excess water without dripping down the side of the bowl. Additionally, the basket and lid come apart so you can thoroughly clean the entire unit. No more stuck bits of lettuce, making their way into your next fresh salad!
Spinning away
Salad spinners make short work of washing leafy greens. These salad-prepping devices both wash and dry leaves and veggies for quick consumption. For most people, we think the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is the top pick in our collection. Its single-hand operated mechanism makes it easy to use. Plus, you can lock the spin pump, which makes the top flat and leaves space for other kitchen gadgets in your pantry.
If you're not making four or more servings of salad, then we recommend the OXO Good Grips Little Salad & Herb Spinner. It's the one you'll want to reach for when making a salad for one or cleaning small bunches of herbs.
