Salad Spinner

Salad Spinner

Before you write salad spinners off as just another unnecessary kitchen gadget, hear us out. These seemingly one-use tools are actually incredibly versatile—especially if you opt for this OXO Good Grips spinner, which both Kayleigh and our commerce writer Kristin Montemarano love. The lid features a pump mechanism with a knob that you simply press to start the spinner, along with a "brake" button you can push to stop it. Plus, the rubberized bottom of the bowl means it won't slip and slide on the counter while you use it.

Not only does this device make easy work of washing and drying leafy greens, but it also doubles as both a colander and a serving bowl.

Storage Containers

Food storage containers aren't just for leftovers; they're also helpful for holding any unused ingredients from making dinner. We love this 18-piece Simply Store glass food container set from Pyrex. It includes multiple container sizes, making it super versatile, and the glass vessels are safe to use in the microwave, oven and freezer. They're also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Are you more into plastic food storage containers? This Rubbermaid Brilliance Leak-Proof set is sturdy, stackable, and BPA-free. The containers are also resistant to odors and staining.
