Chef'n Small Salad Spinner, Meringue with Arugula Basket

Chef'n Small Salad Spinner, Meringue with Arugula Basket Review



Chef'n Small Salad Spinner, Meringue with Arugula Basket Feature

  • Small salad spinner dries lettuce and herbs with little effort
  • Handle/lever requires just a few up-and-down pumps
  • Stop button halts spinning; handle locks into place for compact storage
  • Elegant design with non-skid rubber base
  • 8-1/2-inch diameter; dishwasher-safe; choice of colors
Some salad spinners require turning a crank as fast as you can. Tiring, right? Not so this one from Chef'n. The creative team has designed an energy efficient model that flings the water off lettuce and herbs with just a few up-and-down pumps of the lever-style handle. You don't even have to wait for it to slow on its own; simply push the stop button. The non-skid base keeps the spinner from hopping around the counter, and the handle locks down for compact storage. All in all, this is an elegant spinner that every kitchen needs. The small size measures 8-1/2 inches in diameter, the perfect capacity for a handful of washed cilantro or enough fresh salad greens for two. Available in two color combinations, the salad spinner is dishwasher-safe and makes a great gift.

Chef'n approaches housewares with a creative mind and sense of humor. Innovations are its signature element, an approach started by founder and self-proclaimed Famous Inventor, David Holcomb, with his Garlic Machine in 1982. From rabbit-eared pepper grinders to collapsible colanders, Chef'n delights as it brings fresh seasoning to the kitchen and home. --Ann Bieri To complete your salad prep, the new Chef’n Salad Spinners are great for quickly drying lettuce and herbs. The Salad Spinners have a unique, easy-to-use lever spinning system, which locks in place when not in use. The non-skid base keeps the Salad Spinners in place, while a convenient “stop” button offers control. Once the lettuce is dry, use the LeafShears™ to cut the lettuce for a perfect salad and then use the elegant acrylic Salad Spinner bowl for serving.

Amazingly fast, the SaladShooter literally shoots out prepared food directly into a salad bowl or in neat piles for an assemble-your-own taco party. Featuring sharp stainless-steel cutting blades, the two interchangeable cones, one for shredding and one for slicing, each slip in and out of the main chute and are secured in place with a twist-lock ring.

There’s no need to wash the parts in between processing different kinds of food, so shredded cheese, lettuce, carrots, and more are ready one after the other. All parts except the motor base can be washed in the dishwasher. The SaladShooter is not intended for grinding coffee or processing cranberries, tomatoes, or meats. Measuring 9-1/2 by 7 by 3-1/2 inches with a five-foot cord, the SaladShooter is covered by a two-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri Quickly slices or shreds vegetables, fruits, cheese, and more for sensational salads, perfect pizzas, terrific tacos and delicious desserts.

Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White

Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White Review



Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White Feature

  • Slice vegetables and fruit into uniform thickness
  • Includes four slicing inserts plus two julienne blade inserts
  • Rail guided system permits safe, easy motion over blade
  • Slide-on storage caddy stores inserts safely
  • Dishwasher-safe (top rack); 5-year warranty
Nothing beats a mandoline for cutting uniform slices and strips of fruits and vegetables--and this model places your safety first and foremost. The base has a built-in stainless-steel V-shaped blade with a safety button that locks in any of the six included blades, ensuring that they can never accidentally move out of place. The food holder has an ergonomically designed handle that allows the full range of slicing motion and provides a stable grip. The food holder safely slides up and down on the mandoline’s unique grooved rail, which keeps the motion controlled and on track. For thicker chunks of fruits or veggies, the holder can even be lifted and angled to one side while still gripping the track. Food stays secured with the food guide, which pushes food through the holder and grips it with its sharp teeth.

The mandoline comes with six different blades that perform a variety of slicing functions. A 1/8-inch julienne insert is ideal for grating shoestring potatoes or carrots while a wider 1/4-inch julienne blade makes strips of zucchini or beets for steaming. The four slicing inserts offer different sizes--1/32-inch, 1/16-inch, 1/8-inch, 1/4-inch--to accommodate the widths of the foods you’re slicing but can all be adjusted to paper thin or chunky thicknesses. The 1/4-inch blade also serves as a safety insert to keep the blade from damage during storage. A storage caddy holds all blades and also acts as a drying rack after washing. The mandoline has non-skid feet to securely hold the base during slicing and an indent on the base so it can be used over a bowl. All parts are dishwasher-safe in the top rack and the entire product is covered by Zyliss under a 5-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde It's both a superb vegetable and fruit slicer and a julienne (strip) cutter, with a safety rail-guided sliding track system that yields a safe, easy and controlled back-and-forth motion over the V-shaped stainless steel blade. Experience quick and effortless slicing of vegetables and fruits at various thicknesses, from paper thin to 1/2" thick, for consistent, professional-looking hors d'oeuvres, side dishes, entrees, desserts and beverages.
