Salad/lettuce spinner

I rarely use my spinner anymore for several reasons: (1) in order to get
the greens dry they often came out looking limp and bruised, especially
really tender baby greens; (2) it just takes forever for any decent
amount of greens; (3) once spun, they do not keep well at all; (4) I
have yet to see one not made of plastic.
Now I immerse & wash my greens an hour or so before I make the salads
and drain them in a colander. Then, in most cases, I spread them out on
a clean cotton terry cloth towel, and then cover them with another towel
for a bit. I also have greens bags made of terry cloth that I can put
heartier lettuce in and whirl it around a few times. Much faster and
more complete than a spinner... for me anyway. YMMV.
