With the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, preparing salads is quick and easy. Simply pump with the large soft, non-slip button to run the centrifuge. The pumping is light and easy, even with one hand. Thanks to the anti-slip ring on the bottom, the salad spinner stays firmly in place. The centrifuge stops immediately with the built-in brake; and after use the big button clicks down for compact storage. In addition, the clear bowl can also be used as a serving bowl. The basket can also be used separately.
