Otherwise, I just shake my greens with my hands and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494928 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:45:40 +0000 Alivoo01 494928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it to get the salad dry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494927 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:45:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 494927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love mine! I have a sharper image one, so it's a salad spinner, bowl, strainer, and mandoline slicer! And something else (5-in-1) but I don't remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494898 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:34:48 +0000 autumnlove 494898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I had no idea what they were for! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494860 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:14:00 +0000 Sweet T 494860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one. I don't think I've ever used one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494853 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:10:39 +0000 Grace 494853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely use it because dry greens hold dressing better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494826 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:49:04 +0000 Mrs Spoon 494826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It takes up so much space but I can't live without it. Soggy salads are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494825 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:49:01 +0000 hazelnut 494825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy a lot of my greens at a farmer's market so salad spinners are great for washing and drying the greens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494817 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:46:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 494817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494746 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:06:10 +0000 .twist. 494746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use one. Gets the water off the leaves. We don't use it for mixing. It's not really meant for that since the centripetal force pulls the leaves to the sides of the bowl and the water downwards. It wouldn't really mix much... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494742 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:03:47 +0000 prettylizy 494742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one growing up but I don't bother now. My MIL always uses a salad spinner too.... maybe it's generational thing for us? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494738 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:02:32 +0000 mrs. bird 494738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one, small kitchen, limited space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494584 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:18:16 +0000 futuremama 494584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love using ours to wash off spinach or lettuce. It's also great if you accidentally put too much dressing on a salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494578 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:17:19 +0000 cranberryapple 494578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used mine this afternoon to get excess water off my spinach leaves for my salad. It's a handy tool for me to have in the kitchen, and it's kinda fun to use! I could use the two bottom pieces separately too, one as a strainer, and the other as a bowl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494536 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:00:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 494536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use one when I remember. I do like how well I can wash my lettuce when I do use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494529 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:57:30 +0000 loveletter 494529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it as a wedding gift... it's one of those things I never would have bought for myself, but now that I have it - I LOVE IT! I just use it to wash and dry spinace and lettuce and I love how dry it gets it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494130 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:14:21 +0000 keiki_mama 494130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but I never use it. I should throw it out, it just takes up space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494061 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:59:56 +0000 CandyCane 494061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always to get the water off after washing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494038 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:53:52 +0000 Bao 494038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never used one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-salad-spinner#post-494032 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:51:56 +0000 tororojo 494032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it to get water off the lettuce/spinach.
