usually lay them on paper towels to dry but I thought, SALAD SPINNER.  It worked perfectly and didn't damage the mushrooms!�?/SPAN>

SALAD SPINNER “Script Ideas”�?/SPAN>shared by Director Mary Jo Oyer on the Director’s Loop

Read through this for some EXCELLENT ideas for words and phrases that will help you create a desire and need for the salad spinner…and then BOOK those shows for JULY!!

Have you ever bitten into a gritty piece of lettuce in your salad? Yuck! I've discovered the absolute BEST way to clean your greens and keep them hydrated, crisp and fresh. Let me introduce you to the new

Salad/Berry Spinner!

The pump top has a simple locking tab that keeps the push-down pump compressed and flush to the lid for storage. To unlock, just slide the lock back. It's very easy to do.

Then just push down on the pumper. The basket inside the bowl spins, and water is extracted from the greens out of the basket, away from the greens, and out into the bowl. Push the pumper down a few times to keep it spinning and allow the centrifugal force to extract the water. You don't need to push more than maybe four to six times, but trust me, you'll probably keep pushing because it's so much fun!

After you're done playing - er, I mean cleaning your greens, take out the basket with the greens and empty out all the water from the bowl that was extracted from your greens. You can then store the

greens in the refrigerator in a zip lock bag, which is what I usually do. Or, if you'd like you can even store the greens right in the Salad Spinner bowl.

The Salad Spinner is easy to clean. The plastic bowl is top-rack dishwasher safe, but since it primarily only has water in it, I just rinse and dry.

The Salad Spinner bowl by itself is a perfectly nice bowl that can be used for many other things as well. You can of course store the greens or serve the finished salad in the bowl. Try it for serving popcorn, potato chips, or snacks as well.

It's salad season again in our household, but one thing that keeps me from eating them often is the chore of getting the lettuce cleaned, dried and crisped up. Nothing more can ruin a good salad for me than reaching the bottom of the bowl, and finding a mess of limp, wilted greens, watery dressing and the impression that I've reached a swamp.

Besides vegetables, the spinner is a delight to use with washed berries. The process is exactly the same, the water is gently worked away from the berries or fruit, and hardly any damage is done to the fruit -- this is very nice when you want to present the berries in a tart or salad, and have them remain whole.

How often have you suffered from "Watery Dressing Syndrome"? How many paper towels have you wasted patting dry your lettuce?  The Salad Spinner takes care of all of that!

Those Ziploc bags that stand up by themselves are perfect for lettuce! The lettuce stays fresh for up to five days. I never got this kind of shelf life from lettuce prepped using the paper towel or colander-drying methods. We'll get three or four great salad nights out of one head of lettuce thanks to our salad spinner. And if the lettuce ever starts to look wilted, back into the spinner it goes for another water soak, followed by a spin!

Spinning is fun, educational and healthy! How many other kitchen gadgets can teach youngsters a main principle of physics, make your dinner taste great, and give you a giggle at the same time?
