    It should be noted that you can remove dirt from greens more thoroughly if you set the colander in the outer cup-thing, cover the greens with water, swish the greens around, then remove the colander, dump the water, then spin. Submerging the greens lets dirt drop to the bottom. If you just rinse the greens under running water, you are likely to miss some of the dirt. (This is especially important with sandy greens like leeks.)

      It’s best to cut the leeks apart and then rinse since the sand hangs out in the tight areas.

    I have a oxy salad spinner I really like. It does take more room though. When I get home from the store I get it out and wash up all my produce so it’s ready to eat. I let the bowl fill with water, swirl it around. Dump the water then spin dry. I buy a lot of produce so it gets lots of use.

  • @rebchizelbeak5392

    I would recommend including a comparison with products like the Snappy to standard items. In this case regular salad tongs.
    An item may work, but if it doesn’t work well enough to justify additional costs over what you have now, then it isn’t worthwhile.
    And it will extend your video time without much effort.

      I tend to buy my salads prepacked these days, same as stir fry veg. So don’t need the spinner. I have had an old one in the back of my cupboard for years - they haven’t changed much.
      The grabber looks great but ….
      The salad box is a bit of a let down- couldn’t be bothered making that up in a morning for work - too fussy and really, it’s just a bowl with a lid …..

    The clamshell thing seemed pretty stupid at first, but after watching the video, it looks like a great idea. Basically a sort of wide-mouth tong. I wonder if they make a metal core version with a silicone coating. They would be great for cooking if they could handle heat.
    As to the salad lunch kit, I've seen a bunch of these and they all seem pretty unitask-y. I prefer just using a single regular bowl big enough for the salad, a normal size fork, and the dressing in a tiny container.

    Snappy seems cool but it would take up too much space in my drawer for its limited use I think. I did go and check the salad bowl and noted its microwave safe and BPA free so would be good for hot foods to heat up in that bottom compartment with snacks or toppings in the top portion. The salad spinner is meh, just a salad spinner that I can get cheaper elsewhere - I dont need a slightly smaller one.

    Bentogo is such an American bastardization of a bento lunch box... All bento boxes are 'to go' and that thing is only good for salad or a giant meal for lunch... it could have come with a divider for the salad compartment for anytime you don't want salad. Maybe some rice and hotdog and egg.
