Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Argee "Spin 'n Stor" Reusable Salad Spinning Bags, 12 BagsCustomer Review: Make your own for free Summary: 3 Stars
Significantly overpriced, these bags are medium weight plastic similar to grocery store produce bags. There are seams creating separate compartments along the bottom (to catch water) and side (to drain water). They work, but the end result is lettuce that is not as dry as it would be using a conventional salad spinner. While the bags are re-usable, it is difficult to wash them properly because the bottom and side compartments are not easily accessible. These would be convenient for camping or making salad away from home, but at home, a spinner is still the better option.
If you like this idea, you can make your own with two bags. Cut slits or holes along the bottom of an ordinary plastic produce bag. (Better yet, make or get some re-usable mesh produce bags such as [ASIN:B002UXQ7QQ flip and tumble 5-Pack Reusable Produce Bags]]) Put your washed lettuce inside the produce bag with holes in it / mesh produce bag. Put this "holey" produce bag inside a second somewhat larger solid plastic bag and hold them so that the inner bag doesn't reach the bottom of the outer bag. Spin away. After draining the outer bag, you can store the lettuce in the pair of bags, adding a small towel if you like. I feel silly for having purchased these.
The OXO spinner Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner works well, but I find it too expensive, too big and clunky looking. The Progressive spinner Progressive International Salad Spinner (which is available for $9.99 at Ross or for a limited time at Bed Bath & Beyond) is the perfect size and color, holds about as much lettuce as the OXO, works about as well, and stores more easily than the OXO, but the string broke on mine after just a few months of use.
I tried these spinner bags, but still on the lookout for a better option.
