Melody, instead of buying a gadget that you don't use part of, check out

electric salad spinners. Just pay for what you need.

What do you all think about an Electric Salad

Spinner

I presently have 4 salad spinners in my home. I have the BIG OXO one and the

little $6.99 ones that I got from my local store (that sells everything).

I am tired of the pumping pumping pumping that I need to do to get the hulls

out. If I didn't have arthritis, I wouldn't care BUT I DO have arthritis so I

said to myself " why don't they make an electric salad spinner "

Well, I found this

http://www.amazon.com/Presto-02905-Peel-Electric-Peeler/dp/B000V7A9WQ/ref=pd_sbs\

_k_3

It seems that the primary use for this thing is to peel potatoes (I don't eat

potatoes but who cares). In the title/description of this thing, it says " potato

peeler/salad spinner.

I read what comes with it and it says " peeler and salad spinner attachment).

So I gather that the salad spinner attachment is a basket that you insert in

this electric gizmo and put the top on and plug it in and press some button, AND

BINGO!!! no more pumping.

So here's my question.

Have any of you used this gadget (or something similar?)

My use of a salad spinner to dehull is nothing short of amazing and saves MUCHO

WORK!!!

But if this electric gizmo works, it will save my hands.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks much

Melody

It's up on various sites for $23 up to $49.99

It's cheap enough for me IF IT SPINS LIKE THE OXO!!!!

I read reviews but everyone buys it for the potatoes, and one person wrote " I

don't like the way it peels potatoes so now I'm stuck with an expensive salad

spinner " .

I would LOVE this if it's a good salad spinner.

So if anyone has tried this (or found something similar and it's cheap) let me

know, okay?

Thanks much

What do you think I'VE BEEN DOING for the past 30 minutes ? I saw one that is a

commercial salad spinner for over $500.00

All I want is a little electric salad spinner that will give my hands a break.

If you find one, let me know.

How do you use the salad spinner to get hulls off? My first batch is done

and just greening ( in melody's recommended green trays - awesome). I have

the big oxo one

Hey there, HERE I AM!!! lol

I shall continue on my quest to find an electric salad spinner but until then, I

use my OXO (big one too).

Here's what you do.

First, separate the basket from the bowl. I take two trays at one time. I take

out the basket and put the basket NEXT to the bottom of the salad spinner, so

you'll have the clear bowl and the basket.

I take two trays that are bursting with sprouts, and dump them in the clear

bowl. I completely fill the bowl with cool water. I swish swish swish with my

hands. You'll see MANY MANY hulls float to the top. I have this skimmer gadget

thing that I use to take all the holes that are now collecting at the top of the

bowl.

I keep swishing swishing, and more hulls float to the top. I do this (I change

the water sometimes too). So now I have clean sprouts in clean water. I take a

bunch of the sprouts in my hand, swirl in the water, and deposit them in the

basket that is standing alongside the bowl. These sprouts are now draining into

my sink. All this is done in my kitchen sink by the way.

I keep taking handfuls of sprouts and depositing them in the basket.

When I have most of the sprouts OUT of the bowl and INTO the basket, I empty the

bowl and then I put the basket that is filled with my sprouts into the bowl and

NOW I USE IT AS A SALAD SPINNER.

PUMP PUMP PUMP, and when you take out the basket you'll see lots of water and

lots of hulls. Just throw them out. Put the basket back in, and pump pump pump

again and repeat.

Now, when I started using the OXO, I left the basket full of sprouts INSIDE THE

SALAD SPINNER, filled it with water and pumped it. Too hard on my hands.

Pumping the thing that is filled with water. yeah, it separates the hulls, but

for me, too hard.

So back to de-hulling. When the sprouts are sufficiently dry, I put them in m

Debbi Myer green bags. Store in fridge.

I could do this in my sleep. I found this to be (for me), the best way to

de-hull sprouts.

Let me know how your turn out.
