My cord of my very first salad spinner just broke.
What is the best type to get? Tell me about yours. How it works. How long you've had it?. Brand? Size that you like?

    I've never had one. I just kind of beat it against a towel, lol.

    Thank you. Never get a cord. Dumb idea!

    LOL. yeah, I thought this was going to be about some kind of new dressing that was sinfully delicious but miraculously low in calorie.

    I have a similar salad spinner as the one pictured above. I've had it for probably close to 10 years now. It's probably oxo or kitchenaid or something similar.

    I have one of those too. Costs an arm and a leg over here but I had a special deal so grabbed it. It's awesome.

    I have this one too. It’s great! It comes in 2 sizes. My daughter has the small one. Oxo has great kitchen gadgets. Their gadgets often win on America’s Test Kitchens testing segments.

    Put your salad leaves in a clean tea towel pull the edges together and spin your arm around in large circles. Not only does dry your salad but you will burn a couple of extra calories doing it. :)

    This makes me miss the spinner I had for a long, long time. I keep meaning to get one but forget at the store--and now, I'm not at the right kind of store anymore b/c our grocery store doesn't sell them.

    Was also hoping for something a little juicier, given the topic title--but I figured it was probably just a type :)

    Thank you all. Sorry it wasn't juicy and sinful enough for you but I couldn't figure out how to change it to spinners. Fresh lettuce is so much better than buying it a bag. And fresh produce makes me feel better during this coronavirus so thank you for telling me which brands and types you like!
    Stay safe ya'all.

    Looks like a spelling error in your title.

    I have one I bought in 1990...true story.

    No crank or cord, just a little hand hold thingy on top to manually spin it.

    I think if I were buying one today, it would have to be completely plastic, and I'd need to be able to disassemble the whote thing piece by piece to soak in soapy water. Cootie-free, ya know? Mine is like that, but it's completely by accident that I bought that one. I bought it at https://www.uwajimaya.com/stores/seattle - it's an Asian market.
