Creating and prepping salads is a snap when you have this salad spinner at your side. Simply place freshly washed greens in the base. Turn the easy-to-operate knob. The spinning mechanism helps in separating water, leaving you with crisp vegetables to use for salads, snacks, and the main course. Serve right out of the bowl or save it for later. The base doubles as a convenient salad bowl container, which you can place in the refrigerator to chill your meal before serving. Each part is removable for convenient clean up. Hand wash recommended. The bowl provides ample space for accommodating loads of leafy greens. The capacity of the bowl is 3 liters or 3.2 quarts.
