No ~ this is a salad tosser.

I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Touchy!

But technically a man who tosses salad would be a salad tosser. The device pictured above Darwin's innocent enquiry is in fact a salad spinner ~ designed to remove the water from washed salad leaves. Personally I use a clean tea towel, as do most chefs, in which one wraps the leaves, holds the four corners of the towel and whirls it about one's head ~ this operation is best performed in the garden as wives tend to get a little piqued if you do it in the kitchen. If in further doubt ask LL the difference between a tosser and a spinner ~ I'm sure she will have a view on the subject. whistle:

Previous wife got custody of the pressure cooker. Just as well because the replacement kitchen help is scared witless of them.

Perfectly safe if used properly. Mother had one for years as did Mrs S#1 and I until she claimed custody. All in all I used one for 30 years without a problem.
