Some of the appliances, like the spinner in the kitchen, may not be used for long if the owner does not know its purpose. Your spinner occupies space in your cabinet when not put to use since it is only used when drying lettuce. Salad spinners are actually useful in many different ways that you have ignored, or probably did not know. Some of the projects that could use salad spinners are listed below: Dry greens This is the popular and obvious way of using them. Lettuce, spinach, or even mustard greens need drying before they can be used to make salads or sautéed greens. The spinners come in handy in doing this. After all, this is what they were made for! Drain leeks They grow in (loose and sandy soil). To clean them up when preparing, you need to cut them into crescent shapes and place them in a sink that you have filled with water. This ensures that the dirt remains at the bottom leaving the clean leeks at the top. However, the result is wet leeks. When cooking, water could cause the oil to splatter and you do not want that to happen. Instead, use a spinner, which will work wonders unlike the paper towel that is known to dry leeks. Drain past Lying to yourself that your pasta is dry could result to a dish of pasta with watery sauce. Draining pasta into your spinner after making it is a good idea to get rid of any remaining water. It is as simple as placing the drained pasta into the part of the spinner that is slotted and get rid of most of the water. Having done that, remove the remaining water by placing the pasta into the spinner.
