Salad spinner
2005-09-14
Salad spinner doesn't work very well at all. The top tries to come off as you turn the spinner. You have to hold it down with your entire arm, pressing firmly. Spinner is made of flimsy plastic, seems cheaply made.
"Resistant to Extended Usage.".....

Honestly, out of the 8 language hype on the box, that is the last sentence in English. I can't understand why the reviewer before me was upset that the gears began to break after a year. It's not like she was not forewarned. :o)
Seriously, this sells for about 1/2 the price of the Oxo and the Oxo has not gotten the best reviews. It appears to be sturdy and has plenty of room (The spinner basket appears to hold about 3-qts.). My favorite salad is an icey-cold Caesar. I will see how this spinner works on the Romaine lettuce and report back. (Update): I tried it this past evening and apparently I did not spin the Romaine long enough. The leaves were still wet after 1/2 minute or so. This may sound strange, but I could have used some instructions for 'successful spinning'. For example, I tore the lettuce into salad-sized pieces before spinning. Was this correct, or should I have left the leaves intact? Should I stir the leaves after a bit and then continue spinning? Perhaps some other kind reviewer can help.
gear mechanism disappointing

While I have owned the Pedrini salad spinner for at least a year and was fairly satisfied with it, recently the "teeth" pieces of the gear action started to break off. I found one in my garbage disposal after it severely jammed. This obviously isn't a spinner designed to last.
Dry your lettuce properly!

Someone once asked me why I go to all the bother of washing my salad leaf by leaf, then putting it in the spinner and spinning the water off - would it not be easier just to rinse it and give it a good shake?Bleugh. If you like crunchy salad with lots of flavour that lasts longer than ten seconds on the table you have to get the water off. Otherwise the leaves go limp. If your leaves are wet the dressing will not cling properly and your crutons will go soggy and horrible. The only sure way to get your leaves thouroughly dry is with a centrifuge spinner. This machine spins the leaves fast, and draws all the water to the sides, where it dribbles to the bottom and collects. When you empty the bowl, it's not just the amount of water that amazes me, it's the greenfly you somehow manage to miss in the washing. They also get thrown out of the leaves. For really good salad it's no good cutting corners. Dry your leaves properly. Use one of these. Read for more: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B...
