salad spinner
Greens drying device
A salad spinner is a kitchen tool for drying washed lettuce and other greens.
It consists of a perforated inner basket that sits inside an outer bowl; a hand-cranked mechanism spins the basket rapidly, forcing water off the leaves by centrifugal force.
Give those greens a few spins in the salad spinner before you dress them.
