Norpro Self Draining Salad Spinner Review

spend a few bucks more for something that actually works - it barely spins and makes a horrible noise when the bait isn't connected to the strainer

This salad spinner keeps sliding along the rail when you try to spin it and makes a horrible loud noise. It works, but only after several attempts to reconfigure it.

I like that the bottom is open so the ingredients don't get caught in the water. I either put it in the sink or put it on a towel to wring it out. A very good use I've found for this is when I grate raw pancakes right in the spinner and then spin them around like crazy. Some of the potatoes go into the outer bowl, and I usually have to put them back in the spinner for a second round. A surprising amount of water comes out of the potatoes, but NO MORE WET HASH BROWN! Simply delicious and crispy,
