A '''salad spinner''' is a small kitchen appliance that normally uses a pumping action to quickly rotate an internal basket in which washed [[salad]] leaves are placed. The centrifugal force quickly removes any excess water without damage to the contents.

Some models, instead of the spinning top-type pump action already described, have a folding levered handle (or just a knob) which is attached internally to a gearing system. Thus turning the handle at 1 revolution per second will produce (for example, I'm just guessing) an internal speed of the basket of 5 r.p.s. The water is ejected via centrifugal force through the holes in exactly the same way as above.
===Herb drying===
A salad spinner is great for washing and drying herbs - we use ours more for this than we do for drying salad leaves.
===Drying chips===
These are excellent for drying [[french fries]]. An ideal accompaniment to a [[Tefal ActiFry AL806040 - Hot air fryer]]
===Extracting seeds from dried flower heads===
An odd use, but '''very''' effective. Put a dried flower head such as teasel or butterbur and spin vigorously. Hundreds of seeds are easily removed in a minute or so!
