Multi-Tasking for Salad Spinners
Salad spinners are a great multi-tasking kitchen tool. Not only do they make easy work of removing moisture from freshly washed salad greens but they also work their moisture-removing magic on other food items.
Why is it important to remove moisture from foods?
Removing moisture from certain foods is key to:
- allowing dressings, vinaigrettes, and sauces to coat evenly and without separation
- extending freshness and shelf life
- aiding cooking methods such as roasting, sautéing, and baking
What other foods can I use in my salad spinner?

- fresh or cooked vegetables (spaghetti squash, shredded, spiralized or sliced zucchini, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, grated potatoes and others)
- pasta, egg or rice noodles
