This Stainless Steel Salad Spinner Is a Sleek, Microplastic-Free Upgrade

Summer is finally here, so for the next few months, you can find me at my local farmer’s market picking up whatever produce looks freshest. The best thing about farm-fresh fruits and vegetables is that they are crisp, juicy, and generally free of toxic chemicals. The only downside is that they can come with unexpected dirt and bugs. To ensure my greens are clean, I always use a salad spinner to wash, rinse, and dry them. While I love my salad spinner, I’ve become increasingly concerned that it may be leaching microplastics into my otherwise toxin-free food. So, I bought this shopper-loved stainless steel alternative.

The spinner has a built-in drainage system and a perforated lid that allows you to pour out excess water without removing it. It’s completely plastic-free, except for the insert and lid. Those are made out of ABS (a type of plastic that doesn't leach and is generally considered food-safe).

The spinner dries lettuce quickly, too. Just crank the handle to remove excess water from fresh fruits and vegetables. One customer noted you can slow down the spinner without pressing the brake button. Stop cranking, and it slows down naturally. A rubber nonslip base prevents it from sliding around or leaking water as you spin.

Unlike most plastic options, this one doubles as an elegant serving bowl. It’s also a long-lasting alternative to plastic models: “The stainless steel bowl won't crack like the previous ones I had,” an Amazon reviewer noted. 

It comes with several convenient bells and whistles, like measurement markers in quarts and liters, so you can measure ingredients directly in the bowl. I also love that both the base and lid are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Given the growing demand for microplastic-free kitchen tools, it’s no surprise that over 1,000 shoppers purchased this in the last month alone. For just $38, grab the sleek salad spinner now.
