Chef-Master 5 Gallon Salad Spinner, 1 Each

The Chef-Master 5 Gallon Salad Spinner is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade tool built to dry large batches of washed greens, vegetables, and herbs in a single load. Its generous 5-gallon capacity handles restaurant-scale prep quantities, reducing the time and effort spent spinning multiple smaller batches throughout a busy shift. The geared crank mechanism provides smooth, efficient rotation that pulls water away from leafy produce quickly and consistently, helping to extend shelf life and improve the adherence of dressings and vinaigrettes. Constructed from durable, easy-to-clean materials, this spinner is designed to withstand the demands of daily use in high-volume kitchens. Whether you are prepping salad bars, packaging fresh herb mixes, or drying greens for catered events, the Chef-Master 5 Gallon Salad Spinner delivers reliable, repeatable results with every turn.

Uses

Salad bar prep: Spin and dry bulk quantities of lettuce, spinach, arugula, and mixed greens so they stay crisp and presentable on the line throughout service.
Vegetable washing: Drain excess water from washed broccoli florets, green beans, sliced peppers, and other firm vegetables before cooking or cold holding.
Herb drying: Remove moisture from freshly washed parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint to prevent clumping and spoilage during storage.
Catering and banquet prep: Process large volumes of greens in one batch to keep up with high-cover events without repeatedly reloading a smaller spinner.

Preparation & Use

Load washed greens or vegetables into the spinner basket, filling to a level that allows free rotation without overpacking. Secure the lid and turn the crank steadily for 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the volume and type of produce. Water collects in the outer bowl while the inner basket spins; pour off the accumulated water before removing the dried contents. For best results, allow greens to rest briefly after spinning so residual moisture continues to drain. The basket lifts out for easy unloading, and both the basket and outer bowl wash clean with standard kitchen sanitizer and water.

Application Areas

Well suited for restaurant back-of-house prep stations, cold-line salad assembly, catering commissaries, school and hospital kitchen bulk prep, grocery produce departments, and farm-to-table operations that wash and package their own greens.
