      The second was a very expensive one given to me second hand. About 180 in the stores. Useless.

    I either read or heard some where that Dan has designed things for OXO. I have the smaller OXO salad spinner and I love it! Works every time, it's stable, safe and reliable. It has a plunger dead center on top of the lid you push down to make the basket spin, and it can spin quite fast and throws the water off nicely. Because the plunger is in the center the bowl wont wobble and you're pushing straight up and down, not around having your hand off center making the bowl rock around. Under the outer bowl is a ring of silicone so the spinner stays put on the table and doesn't skid around. The top of the plunger is also capped in tough silicone for a non-slip grip and does not bite into your hand, it's comfortable to use. The plastics used are of nice and durable quality. For storage you can push the plunger down and lock it into place so it takes up less space and makes it easier to store away. The components are all easy to wash too. I also have a pair of OXO tongs that I like very much.
    Judging how he redesigns gadgets here, I'm willing to bet he did design OXO's salad spinner. (they come in 2 sizes. I have the smaller one)
    I'd love to know what he has designed for OXO and other companies.

    I have that exact salad spinner, and I use it for EVERYTHING. Granted, most of the time when I'm washing vegetables, I wash them in the spinner with water and vinegar and then just lift the basket out before tipping the water. No lid needed. I can't stress enough how much of a difference a salad spinner makes in having lettuce dry enough to store, though. I can tell a huge difference - so much so that I took my salad spinner with me to my mom's house so I could make a salad there without it being watery and wilted.

    I have a salad spinner that just requires pushing instead of cranking (like the onion slasher) and it works really well. But of course, its usefulness depends on the amount of lettuce one wants to wash. It's not worth it for small amounts. Also it's made of pretty cheap plastic, I wish it were much more sturdy.

    For the salad spinner, I would just design it to be like the OXO version, it's probably the most well designed salad spinner out there.

    • @DawnDavidson
      @DawnDavidson 2 года назад +2

      I had use of one of those for a while, since an ex-housemate owned one. I was sad when she took the Oxo salad spinner away, it was a great one. I have one from Tupperware that works pretty well. But the Oxo one was better - which, as a former Tupperware sales person, is really painful to say!

    God, I'm addicted to these vids atm.
    For the salad spinner, I have a similar model except it has a push-to-spin mechanism. You wash/rinse the lettuce in the basket in the sink, then put it into the spinner to dry. Giving it a few pumps spins the lettuce fast enough to be nearly completely dry. I think you've kind-of misrepresented the product a bit, as I've lived with and without one and I couldn't go without it again.

    For the last gadget theres a lock and unlock button that you can easily visibly see that was always unlocked when he was using it. I imagine it would have been much easier if he had locked the lid in place when pressing down.

    • @medes5597
      @medes5597 11 месяцев назад

      It doesn't lock the lid.
      It locks the blades. It makes it so the blades don't turn. Why do you think it's on the blade stalk?
      What mechanism do you see when it's open or even turned to lock the lid? There isn't one.

    The salad dressing thingy... I'd have designed it with a pump pusher on top. you just push down and it makes the plastic thingies inside spin and mix the dressing. you can use more bodymass, for more effect, with less strain to individual digits and whatnot.
