The most important step of making any salad? Washing the greens. Which is where the OXO Steel Salad Spinner comes in. It includes a basket that can be used as a colander and a stainless steel bowl (complete with a non-slip base), which doubles as a serving vessel. To use, just rinse your leaves and drop the basket into place. Put the lid on and use the non-slip pump to get things spinning. Give it a few pumps and then hit the brake to stop the motion. The lid comes apart for thorough cleaning and the pump locks into place for storage. The Oxo Good Grips Steel Salad Spinner is dishwasher safe.
