How well does this spin the lettuce dry, please?

I think it does a very good job. I always spin one direction and then the other. If the lettuce is particularly convoluted, I will sometimes rearrange it and spin it again.

Wonderfully. Completely even. But you must hold the container as it slides around a lot.

As long as works (not long befor it breaks) it does a good job of lettuce and other greens. I would recommend you find a cheeper one that would make you happy. I have a 10.00 dollar one that has lasted for years tha does as good!

It is well worth the price, lettuce is dry and ready to accept your delicious dressing. I dropped the top to my first one and ordered another that evening.

Comes apart easily for cleaning. Quite frankly for the amount of time it takes to dry anything plus the cleaning you are better off using paper towels to dry your lettuce.

It depends on how much you want it to spin ... The more weight, the slower it goes

It does REALLY well with vegetables; I've only had problems with super wet vegetables (e.g. the seeded portion of summer squash), but that just required some extra cleaning, nothing too intense.

It doesnt spin. It has holes from which hot air blows. Thats why I like it - its safe.

Yea, it will do that running at low rpm. It is not super fast as the throat is not large enough to stuff large quantities quickly, but it will not have a problem with Green plant matter.

hi dk, yes the top comes off very easy..there is a piece you just unscrew to take the bottom part off, that touches the lettuce. it goes back on just as easy. this is the best salad spinner i have ever used and am very happy with . hope this helps you out.

I have used this tiller in my garden, and it gets pretty packed down by the end of the summer, with picking vegetables and other reasons for walking down the rows. This tiller will work in hard packed ground. But, it will work you pretty hard, too. It is light and bounces around, the tines spinning very fast. You have to go forward, bouncing, and drag it back down the row; dragging it back it does more of the tilling. And repeat several times. I use a gas powered rear tine tiller to do most of my tilling. I got this one for in between rows of vegetables. It does the job slowly and works you very hard too. I almost think it is easier to use a hoe.

I use the recommended amount of liquid I de-core the lettuce, rinse it, and shake it dry. It basically stays fresh and green for several weeks. Never cut it with a metal knife. The edges of the coarser pieces may show some brown after a week or so. Break off the brown pieces. The rest of the leaf is still good.

The inside cover comes off. Squeeze the center and put it off at the same time. It is hard, however I love my salad spinner. It perks up the lettuce and makes the salad so fresh and crispy.

This will spin--rather like a giant salad spinner, and you could use it just to spin but not to wash if you wanted. It doesn't get out as much water as the spin cycle on a washing machine, and if you really just wanted to wring, the best idea might be to look for something with rollers, like the wringer top of an old-fashioned washing machine.

If you put enough spinach in it and just pulsed it a few quick times it would do a rough chop. If you put too little it won't do much of anything. I'd just do it by hand honestly. It best with things like making guacamole, or making breadcrumbs. Too much chopping/ grinding of ingredients like onions and spinach just brings out the moisture and gives an undesired amount of liquid with the veg.

Yes....it does come out like that. You just spin it until it is the way you want it. I usually give it about five good spins to get it barely damp.

I have never used a spinner. I use a head of lettuce and wash it, dry it with a paper towel and it stays fresh.

The green top has two main parts. You remove a cover that protects the working parts in the top from water. Underneath the cover is the battery compartment. You open the battery compartment door and insert four AA batteries. When You wash a whole head (precut into bite size pieces for salad) of iceberg lettuce at once, after a couple spins lasting about ten seconds each you will think the batteries are dying but they're not. I usually do about four ten second spins for a head of lettuce that has been cut and thoroughly rinsed (very wet) using the brake after each spin to get the lettuce to reshift in the basket. You will think the batteries are dead but they're not. I store the batteries in a drawer and the next time I wash lettuce they are just as strong as when I got them out of the package. I like to spread my lettuce pieces out on hand towels in layers. Lettuce. Hand towel. Lettuce. Hand towel. Lettuce. Hand towel. Then roll up as one roll and press and let rest rolled up a few minutes. Then I unroll and place into a container lined with paper towels. Towel. Lettuce. Towel. Lettuce. Towel. Lettuce. Then one towel on top and close container and store in fridge. If top paper towel becomes damp, remove it and put a new one on top. Discard as you use up lettuce. The paper towels absorb moisture and the lettuce stays crisp an amazingly long time. Makes for super quick salad prep during the week. I love the spinner because I have arthritis and my kitchen aid hand pump spinner just hurt me too much.

The more moisture you can remove and better ventilation you give them, the longer they will last.That is why I use a salad spinner to rinse and store, giving them a good spritz and spin daily.

It's smooth. I'm not sure if it might be spun or not. We've done a lot of stir-fry in it. Easy to clean.
