Breaking the codes of traditional salad spinners, the OXO salad spinner quickly became a world bestseller for the ingenuity of its pump mechanism, son design, and its foolproof practicality and reliability.
The crank or string of the salad spinner that gives way after too vigorous a turn or the spinner that runs away, until it becomes out of control on the work surface… Who has not experienced such situations in the kitchen?.
It was enough to convince the OXO experts that a rework of traditional salad spinners was possible.. Their idea ? If the simple pressure of a child's hand on the pump of a top is enough to make it spin around on itself, why wouldn’t it be the same for salad leaves? ? It is from this observation and after a long research work, that the OXO pump mechanism was developed, first brand in the world to offer this spinning solution, as simple as child's play, to remove water from salad leaves.
An ingenious mechanism
OXO is the first brand in the world to have developed, 25 years ago, the pump wringing mechanism. With a patented braking mechanism : a simple press of the button provided for this purpose on the lid allows the spinning to be stopped immediately. The non-slip base keeps the salad bowl stable on the counter to prevent the salad spinner from slipping. But the ingenuity of the OXO salad spinner goes further. Removable salad basket can also be used as a strainer to rinse vegetables. The sturdy plastic salad bowl can be used to store or serve salad. The perforations are designed not to jam or damage salad leaves. The transparent lid allows you to see the salad turning and therefore adjust its spin. Thanks to the retractable pump, the lid becomes flat and stores more easily.
New for 2022 : the glass salad spinner
After the transparent salad spinner, the green salad spinner, the wringer in the stainless steel room, OXO launches a new model to mark its 25th anniversary, with a glass salad bowl. New salad spinner uses borosilicate glass, healthy material, durable and secure. Material resistant to shocks and high temperatures allowing hot or cold foods to be served. The transparency of the glass allows a better glimpse of the food. The spinner's sleek salad bowl design takes it from kitchen to table worry-free. Note that the American brand OXO, which offers other items for the kitchen and home, guarantees its products for life and is committed, as far as possible, to replace them at the slightest material or manufacturing defect identified.
