What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

My OH bought one a few years back... it's actually really good. I use it all the time now. I used to just use a tea towel outside but got fed up of drying them constantly.

We have a cupboard that is dedicated for storage containers and it just lives in there.

Zyliss Swift Dry Large Salad Spinner

It's actually that good that my parents purchased the same one and they love it as well.

Not sure why I’ve spent my life avoiding buying a salad spinner, I think it’s because my mum disliked them

Anyway thanks to kaneohegirlinaz quick kimchi cucumber recipe soon they’ll be no more swinging a tea towel full of wet lettuce leaves around the kitchen

I bought one a few years ago but what's funny is I sometimes won't use it. I am not sure why.

If I go out to the herb garden and cut one sprig of rosemary…it gets a ride in the salad spinner!

I'm quite shocked by this. A quick rinse under the tap will be fine.

I won't even do that...

Exactly. It takes making a salad for 6 or more to get me to break out the spinner. Even when I had to harvest a large amount of basil and lettuce recently, I just soaked it in a bowl of water, drained it in a colander, and put it on paper towels to finish drying out.

Me neither but I am making allowances!

I feel pics are in order when I make our next salad.

Watch this space for Tasty washing each individual rosemary leaf...

It’s arrived. I like it, it’s like a kids whistling spinning top, but without the whistle!

It can sit in with the mixing bowls so shouldn’t take too much space.
I’m going to try and count how many times I bother to use it over the coming months!

Hell no. From my own garden I won't even bother washing it unless it looks like it's got insects on it, in which case I'd just pick a different sprig.

I knew a woman washed lettuce and then a pillow case of it in the dryer...

Warm lettuce then...

I bought this from Walmart (3 for my girls and 1 for me) black Friday deals.

I also bought 2 of these on Friday, 1 for me and 1 for my nephew and his wife. They were less expensive on black Friday but still a good price for cyber Monday:
