I empty the salad spinner and dry it open

The leaves are already in the bowl — and in the salad spinner water still sits on the bottom with a wet plastic smell. Easy to snap the lid “for later”: by morning it’s damp inside, the basket smells, and the hand swears at the tool again. I empty it now, rinse the basket and dry it open — so air moves through and the base is dry.

I empty the salad spinner and dry it open. How I dry the leaves without a puddle is another note; a quiet salad after the roast its own; a bowl of greens another story. Here it’s the spinner by the sink: for the kitchen — not a shut wet bell in the cupboard.

If it already smells damp — warm water and a soft sponge on the basket and the bowl base, not a scourer on the plastic. After greens I air-dry it open, not wet under the lid. I’m not choosing a new spinner with a review in this note — it’s about the one that already stands by the sink.

I don’t need a spinner with a damp smell and a sticky base inside. I need a dry, open one ready for the next bunch of leaves. At yours do you empty the salad spinner straight away — or already in the morning damp under the lid?
