OXO’s Salad Spinner – The Essential Kitchen Accessory
The OXO salad spinner is an indispensable kitchen accessory, which is popular with famous chefs worldwide.
This original salad spinner makes everyday living that little bit easier, as it combines comfort and convenience in use: The spinner can be operated with one hand and with just a few pushes of the pop-up handle it spins salad leaves dry in no time at all. The simple push button break mechanism brings the spinning to a quick halt, while the non-slip base ensures that the spinner stays put and doesn’t shuffle along your worktop. Plus, the removable plastic basket doubles up as a colander to wash your greens. Other salad produce such as tomatoes, radishes, herbs and berries, can also be dried in the spinner. The outer bowl can be used as a serving bowl once the salad leaves are dry, or for storing the salad in the fridge until required.
Alternatively, use OXO’s little herb & salad spinner, perfect for hand picked leaves and herbs.
