Alice, my salad spinner has a crank. These green bags; are they found near where the produce is sold, and then do you just put the unwashed lettuce or other stuff in them, or do you have to do anything special? I really need to find some thing, as it is costly to have to discard more than half of your produce, and I buy it to eat, not toss out! Would these green bags also be good for tomatoes, corn on the cob? Broccoli?

Hi, Sandy, Paper towel helps, but you have to wrap the lettuce in it and check for moisture each day. Another suggestion is to get some Green Bags; I think they are available in grocery stores and in Wallmart. They help to keep produce fresh for a long time. A salad spinner is used to dry lettuce when it is washed. It is not designed for storage. It's very affective for getting all the water off washed lettuce because it works in the same way as a washing machine on the spin cycle. Some spinners have a string that you pull which spins the inner bowl around rapidly; others have a crank that you turn to accomplish the same thing. Hope this helps.
