OXO Salad Spinner

The pump mechanism is designed for one-handed operation. You simply press down on the soft knob to spin the basket, which is generally faster and requires less physical effort than turning a manual crank.

Yes, the bowl is designed to be elegant enough for table service. Once you have dried your greens, you can remove the basket and use the stainless steel bowl as a serving dish.

Yes, the 5-quart capacity is sized to handle large batches of greens, typically enough for a family-sized salad. It is spacious enough to prevent overcrowding, which allows for better air circulation and more effective drying.
