The Salad spinner OXO Good Grips OX1351680 small with strainer and lid is a compact kitchen tool for washing and drying leafy greens, herbs and small vegetables. Designed for households with limited counter space, it combines a colander-style strainer and a spinner bowl with a removable lid to make rinsing and water removal fast and efficient. A non-slip base and an ergonomic push-button or knob operation provide stable use and simple control during salad preparation.
Advantages
This small OXO Good Grips salad spinner offers efficient moisture removal to help keep leaves crisp and dressing from becoming diluted. The integrated strainer allows rinsing without transferring contents between containers, and the removable lid simplifies cleaning and storage. The non-slip base improves stability on wet surfaces and the compact size fits easily into cupboards or small kitchens.
Suitable for
- Washing and drying lettuce, spinach and mixed salad greens
- Rinsing and draining herbs and small vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or sliced cucumbers
- Meal-prep for one to two people or small households
- Quick rinses when preparing sandwiches, wraps or side salads
When it may not be suitable
Because this model is small, it may not be suitable for large families or when preparing large volumes of salad at once. Very large heads of lettuce or bulky vegetables may need cutting to fit the spinner bowl. Users expecting industrial-size capacity should consider a larger model.
Key specifications
- Compact capacity suitable for single-portion or small-batch salad preparation
- Built-in strainer/colander for rinsing and draining
- Removable lid for easy access and cleaning
- Non-slip base for stable operation on wet surfaces
- Manual spinning mechanism with simple control
- Materials designed for food contact and repeated rinsing
How to use
Place torn or cut greens into the strainer insert, rinse under running water while the strainer rests inside the bowl, then fit the lid and operate the spinner to remove excess water. Stop spinning and remove the lid to access dried leaves. For best results, shake the basket lightly between spins to redistribute contents and repeat as needed until desired dryness is achieved. After use, disassemble the lid and strainer for cleaning and air drying.
What to consider before purchase
- Assess the typical quantity of salad you prepare to confirm small capacity meets your needs
- Check available storage space to ensure the compact shape fits cupboards or shelves
- Consider whether a manual spinner mechanism and the non-slip base are preferable to electric or larger alternatives
Usage recommendations
Use the integrated strainer for initial rinsing and the spinner to remove moisture before dressing to preserve crispness. Disassemble regularly for thorough cleaning to avoid residue buildup and to maintain hygienic performance.
