Did You Know?

That if the lid comes off when you're spinning salad.....lettuce goes everywhere?


In the sink....in the floor....on the counter....on the windowsill....in your hair....on top of the stove vent....                  Oh my.

    I think that's where the term "tossed salad" really comes from.

    Thanks for todays smile , I know you were probably not smiling when you had to clean it up but I can't help but visualize that lettuce flying all over the place :-)

    How funny.....
    I have the manual kind that stops spinning when you stop turning it...

    I bought my daughter one for Christmas a couple of years ago and she said it intimidated her/ha

    I'll make a note of it! :))) We normally don't spin the salad so I haven't had that experience.

    Good thing I read this after dinner, or I might have been worried. Funny thing is I was just telling the blacksmith tonight how much I love my salad spinner!
    By the way I beat you look green in garden green!

    that's a good one! Fore warned is fore armed. You could hit a lot in a kitchen the size of mine.

    First I need to apologize for laughing so loudly. This is a wonderful discovery and will probably bring about extensive labeling of the product. DO NOT OPEN While OPERATING. I wish we had pictures!!!

    UGH!!! Hey did you ever hear of spinning a LOT of lettuce in the washing machine?! Yep - a friend of mine would rinse a ton of lettuce (for a BIG crowd) - put it in a CLEAN pillowcase - and put it on the spin cycle! She said it worked like a charm! Now the problem is - what do you do if you have a front load washer? hmmmm
    Have a great day - keep on spinnin'
