My go-to way to STORE salad greens (as well as alot of experts' way, according to google), is always store for use IN the spinner. I wash and spin-dry the greens, then put the top back on and tuck the whole thing in my refrigerator.
But the spinner is not airtight, how do the green leaves stay fresh?
@@m1sschocolateface I didn’t think about it not being air tight. Well keep in fridge and/or consume quickly.
@@JoyDVshop it's a great tip it makes them last longer
Depends on the spinner. Mine came with an airtight lid that snapped right on top of the bowl with the caulinder still inside.@@m1sschocolateface
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Call me OCD but I soak the greens for like 20 minutes, then wash & spin like 3-4 times 😂
I have found some NASTY stuff on the greens & have been paranoid ever since! Plus we don't know what was sprayed on or around our veggies... 💚
Won't you lose a lot of water soluble nutrients from the salad that way?
Same!
Fantastic
thanks
I wonder if I can buy one of these to use to season things with
Don’t settle for what life gives you; make life better and build something.
Does the lid of Ozeri salad spinner come apart for cleaning?
omg where can i get this song??
Would it be easier to just put it in your laundry in one of those mesh bags?
How long do you spin it for? Mine seem to still have too much wetness. I just got mine. I’ve never had one before.
I spin mine for 55 minutes. Perfect!!
This is my favorite comment on this website LMAO!!@@stogiedude
@@stogiedudeGreatest comment ever 😂
Good video. Mine came with absolutely NO instructions on how to use it.
Thanks! I totally get that. I used mine wrong for probably 1-2 years, but then this method changed everything.
@@walktoeat3755 loool I've had mine for like a year and have been using it wrong. Thanks!
@@no2sings Glad this helped!
Will it squeeze radish for parathas
I just wash/rinse real good and spin, I have never soaked...I hope this doesn't make me a bad person 🤷♂️
Try soaking them also- I notice ALOT MORE dirt & whatnot comes off when I soak
It does. This is one of the worst comments I’ve read on the internet and you are indeed a bad person. Soak and spin Bob. Do it right
I soak mine in vinegar and baking soda.
I would like this if it had audio instructions
Lettuce spray-irrigated with runoff from the upstream hog farm never tasted so good
So the purpose of the salad spinner is just to get water out and dry the salad? What's the big deal?
To safe time on drying it by manual
Is it safe to store the veggies after spinning them? I would like to clean my veggies to store after I purchase and get them home.
Heck yeah u can easily keep it there not for weeks but 2,3 days should be good its just plastic container that spins its not gonna magically start changing into radioactive thing when in contact with your veggies
@@killert41 I wasn’t asking to store veggies inside that thing. I am not an idiot of course it is plain simple that if you use it for storage then it won’t be any better than a canister. I wanted to know if the drying provided by the spinner would be efficient enough to store them in ‘some other place’. Some vegetables rot even if left a very slightly damp.
Do you think it dries enough so you don't have a wet salad?
Yes, it gets most of the water off. There may still be a little moisture on the leaves, but it's not very noticeable once dressed.
How much is the salad spinner?
I just bought a nice one at Home Goods for $15, after shopping around for one & finding them $10 (super tiny one) to around $30 for a larger decent one.. Try Amazon also that is where I was about to order from
I've no common sense I filled to top with water out in lettuce and spin The spinner nearly broke
hahahahahaha it's a funny tool. good on you for even trying to use it!!! im about to buy my first one.
Do you still have this salad spinner?
Yep, still do. And it still works like a charm. I've been using it for over two years now.
Mine came with no instructions. Thank God for having internet nowadays :)
Greens never dry that fast. Is 5 minutes of soaking really necessary? Add ? to the water?
Letting the greens sit in the water for a few minutes allows the dirt some time to sink to the bottom of the water that you dump out. This will also loosen up any dirt that is really stuck on your greens. If your greens aren't very dirty, then you probably don't need to leave them in that long.
Plus you never know what was sprayed on or around the veggies
Hm, but soaking them for 5 minutes in TAP water isn't ideal either, right? I've read somewhere, that if you want to refresh your dull veggies, you just soaked them in ice cold water. So they must absorb some of that water right? Tap water is loaded with heavy metals and chemicals....
That's not how to do it! Soak in the bowl, nor the streamer, lots of water, agitate then remove out of the water into the strainer then waste water and spin. That way you leave the dirt in the water, not on your leaves.
Make another video
Soon!

Good video, but It is a pity that you waste the water with which you wash the lettuce.
This music is triggering
Put it on a dryer cold set.
