Product Information
One-Touch OXO Salad Spinner: Did you know that OXO invented the one-touch salad spinner? Its one-handed pump gives you maximum drying of lettuce with minimum effort
What Makes the OXO Salad Spinner OXO Better: This salad spinner has been designed to be the best - from the one-touch press to pump with force to the patented brake to stop the basket immediately with a simple press. And the non-skid base keeps it firmly in place
Store Salad Spinner Neatly After Use: When you're done using the spinner as a fruit and vegetable cleaner, press the pump handle down, then slide the storage lock into place. This holds the pump flush with the lid for stacking and storing
Multi-Tasker Not Just For Lettuce: The OXO salad spinner doubles as a vegetable and fruit strainer, and as a serving bowl. Spin lettuce, herbs, beans or fruit. Or use it for meal prep as a lettuce keeper - wash your lettuce before dinner, pop it in the fridge and take it out when ready to serve
Lid Comes Apart for Easy Clean: The lid comes apart on this salad spinner, so moisture won't build up. All parts are dishwasher safe - top rack is recommended

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does this actually save during weeknight prep?
Most users report that washing and drying a full head of lettuce takes about a minute, compared to several minutes of shaking in a colander and patting with paper towels. Across a week, that adds up to meaningful time savings.
Can I prep a whole week's worth of salad in one session?
Yes. The 6.22 quart bowl handles a full family-size batch, and the lid converts the bowl into a refrigerator storage container. Many users do a Sunday prep session and have grab-and-go salad bases ready for the week.
Is the one-handed pump fast enough for a busy café prep line?
Yes. Café and catering operators use this exact model because the pump is efficient and the patented brake stops the basket instantly, which speeds up the workflow and prevents cross-contamination from splatter.
Does it help me prep multiple ingredients faster?
Absolutely. The one-handed operation means you can hold a knife in one hand and pump with the other, so you can keep chopping, portioning, or plating while greens dry. It removes a full step from the prep process.
Is the bulk pack worth it for a catering business?
For caterers, cafés, and restaurants running multiple prep stations, the 4-pack and 12-pack options are significantly more cost-effective per unit and ensure every station has its own dedicated spinner, which improves hygiene and workflow.
I run a small commercial kitchen. Is this built for back-of-house use?
Yes. The non-skid base keeps it stable on stainless prep tables, the brake prevents splatter, and every component is top-rack dishwasher safe for fast turnaround during service.
Can it handle the volume needed for a family of six?
The 6.22 quart capacity is specifically sized for family-size portions, which is why it is the most popular variant for households with multiple eaters and for Sunday meal prep sessions.
How does this compare to a commercial-grade industrial spinner?
Industrial spinners can be larger and faster, but they are also significantly more expensive, louder, and require dedicated counter space. For most small commercial operations and home cooks, the OXO model hits the productivity sweet spot.
Is a manual spinner slower than an electric one?
Manual spinners take a few extra seconds per batch, but they are quieter, easier to clean, and do not need an outlet. For most prep workflows, the time difference is negligible compared to the convenience of a manual pump.
Will my team actually use it or will it sit in a cabinet?
Because it replaces a colander, mixing bowl, and storage container, the OXO Spinner tends to stay in active rotation rather than being treated as a specialty tool. It earns its place on the prep line.
Is the lid lock strong enough for transport in a catering van?
The storage lock is designed to keep the lid secure during refrigerator storage. For long-distance transport, it is best to keep the basket stationary, but for short moves from prep area to serving table it holds up well.
How fast can I clean it between services?
The lid disassembles in seconds and all parts go in the top rack of a commercial dishwasher. Most operators run it through the dishwasher between lunch and dinner service with no issue.
Will it help me prep faster than my current paper-towel method?
Yes, considerably. Paper-towel drying is slow, inconsistent, and wasteful. A single pump cycle dries greens more evenly in seconds, which compounds into real time savings across a full prep session.
How do I wash and dry lettuce in the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner?
Rinse your lettuce under cold running water, place the leaves in the spinner basket, add water to the bowl if needed for a second rinse, then press the pump a few times to spin. Press the brake button to stop the basket instantly, lift out the basket, and pour out any remaining water. Your greens are ready to serve or store.
How do I clean and disassemble the lid?
Press the release buttons on the lid to separate the pump mechanism from the bowl cover. All components, including the basket, bowl, and lid parts, are top-rack dishwasher safe. For a quick hand wash, separate the parts and wash them in warm soapy water, then let them air dry fully before reassembling to prevent hidden moisture.
Can I wash and store other vegetables besides lettuce?
Yes. The spinner works well for herbs like parsley and cilantro, spinach, arugula, kale, broccoli florets, and other sturdy produce. For very delicate herbs, use short, gentle pumps to avoid bruising.
Does it fit in a standard refrigerator door or shelf?
The 6.22 quart bowl fits comfortably on most refrigerator shelves. It is too tall for door storage on most refrigerators, but it is sized to sit on a standard middle or lower shelf.
Is the bowl compatible with other OXO accessories or replacement parts?
OXO sells replacement baskets and lids designed to fit the 6.22 quart Good Grips Salad Spinner. Aftermarket parts from other brands are not guaranteed to fit properly.
What is included in the box when I order it?
The box includes the outer bowl, the spinner basket with handle, and the lid with the integrated one-touch pump and brake. No additional parts are required to start using it. Replacement parts are sold separately by OXO if ever needed.
Is it safe to use with hot water or for cooked vegetables?
It is designed primarily for cold-water washing of raw produce. Hot water can warp the plastic over time and may also cook delicate greens. For cooked vegetables, a traditional colander is a better fit.
What happens if the pump or brake stops working?
OXO stands behind its products and offers replacement parts for the pump mechanism, lid, and basket. Contact OXO customer service directly with your order details, and they will typically send a replacement component or the full unit depending on the issue.
What is the difference between a salad spinner and a colander?
A colander only strains water away from food, leaving produce damp. A salad spinner washes, spins, and dries greens using centrifugal force, removing significantly more surface water. A spinner also doubles as a storage and serving bowl, which a colander does not.
