    Are salad spinners always this big? I have it and it is great, but such a space hog. Competes with the IP.

    Never thought of rinsing all greens in it! Neat idea.

    They come in three sizes — small, medium and large.

    Get a Roomba — you'll be glad you did.

    Scooba is just a dream. We have hardwood floors and can't use one except in the bathrooms.

    Meanwhile, DH wants the robotic lawn mower :facepalm:. Luckily, our landscaper said "No" so I didn't have to. :lol:

    The Instant Pot means more cooking is happening. : ) Which means more chopping, dicing, slicing, peeling vegetables. Looking for suggestions on non-electric options for these. Like, onion slicer, apple corer. Is there one in your kitchen drawer that you highly recommend? Not electric mini food processor. Which are the good brands?

    So far I only used regular knife and cutting board. Never cut vegetables in huge amount.

    Links or pictures appreciated.

    I liked this onion holder:

    Not a big fan of the non electric appliances for onion slicing etc , washing them seems a hassle , easier dumping the knife in the dishwasher.
