When I helped make the salad in my sister-in-law’s kitchen, I washed the lettuce leaves, then tried to spin-dry them in her standard salad spinner. It required holding the bowl with one hand and turn the crank with the other. It was very hard for me.

My mother-in-law suggested that I would be happier using the kind of salad spinner she used. It is the OXO SoftWorks Salad Spinner. It has a push-button spinner, and can be managed by a one-handed person, is dishwasher safe, the pieces come apart to use separately, it comes in 2 sizes, large and small, and is reasonably priced.
