I recently discovered a way to get the lettuce even dryer. I wash and spin it. Then I take the inner basket out and shake the lettuce over the sink to redistribute it, then I spin it again. It makes a difference!<br /><br />(You have a lovely blog, Rocquie!)Kathhttp://kathdedon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523173198708838097.post-26284437744275569432010-03-08T19:31:54.033-08:002010-03-08T19:31:54.033-08:00Velva, I visited your blog today and had fun.

My local grocery store also doesn't have crap for selection of heads of lettuce.<br /><br />I recently read in Cooks Illustrated about that cross contamination thing. It turns out (they did all kinds of lab tests) that the average kitchen sink is full of more and worse bacteria than what comes on bagged produce. So when you wash it you're introducing more new bacteria to it than you are washing off.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410982623974521233noreply@blogger.com
