Argee RG900 Product reviews
Argee RG900 Review by Marilyn Dolce Davis (Sebastopol, California)
I have used these bags for years. I am down to my last one and happy to see they are still being sold. I am won of those people who hates to drag out the salad spinner. With my spin and store bags, I am never hesitant to make a salad.
Argee RG900 Review by gksf (San Francisco)
Significantly overpriced, these bags are medium weight plastic similar to grocery store produce bags. There are seams creating separate compartments along the bottom (to catch water) and side (to drain water). They work, but the end result is lettuce that is not as dry as it would be using a conventional salad spinner. While the bags are re-usable, it is difficult to wash them properly because the bottom and side compartments are not easily accessible. These would be convenient for camping or making salad away from home, but at home, a spinner is still the better option.
If you like this idea, you can make your own with two bags. Cut slits or holes along the bottom of an ordinary plastic produce bag. (Better yet, make or get some re-usable mesh produce bags such as [ASIN:B002UXQ7QQ flip and tumble 5-Pack Reusable Produce Bags]]) Put your washed lettuce inside the produce bag with holes in it / mesh produce bag. Put this "holey" produce bag inside a second somewhat larger solid plastic bag and hold them so that the inner bag doesn't reach the bottom of the outer bag. Spin away. After draining the outer bag, you can store the lettuce in the pair of bags, adding a small towel if you like. I feel silly for having purchased these.
The OXO spinner Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner works well, but I find it too expensive, too big and clunky looking. The Progressive spinner Progressive International Salad Spinner (which is available for $9.99 at Ross or for a limited time at Bed Bath & Beyond) is the perfect size and color, holds about as much lettuce as the OXO, works about as well, and stores more easily than the OXO, but the string broke on mine after just a few months of use.
I tried these spinner bags, but still on the lookout for a better option.
Argee RG900 Review by Tay McEvers (Laguna Niguel, CA United States)
I am a member of a CSA where every week I get an abundance of fresh organic veggies, and it often includes a lot of greens. I never know what to do with all the greens, and often end up feeling guilty that I wasn't able to use them before they wilted or shriveled. Two weeks ago I put some washed, wet kale in one of these bags, spun and drained it twice (which is a lot of fun, I think), twisted the top closed and secured it with a rubber band. (Note, i didn't squish all the air out. I think it's important for the greens not to be flat up against the inside of the bag)
I forgot about this kale until last night, and when i went to take it out, terrified that it would be a disgusting mess, the kale was perfect. It's still green and delicious and not wilty or soggy or black and slimy. I'm baffled and amazed. Again, I put that stuff away TWO WEEKS ago, and it's not even close to on its last legs. I'm not sure how these bags would do for more delicate greens or things like cilantro, but I have a feeling they're going to work a ton better than just putting said greens in the fridge in a baggie or paper towel.
Other reviews mention that it doesn't get your greens as dry as a salad spinner, but I think the real value of these is in using them for storage, not as a salad spinner. also:
1. I think greens need to be a little wet when you store them to keep them fresh (think about how often they spritz produce in the grocery store)
and 2. I live in a teeny tiny apartment and these take up significantly less space than a salad spinner.
if you're not clear on how they work: basically you put your washed wet greens in the bag, twist the top and swing it around in the air, which forces the water off the leaves and into the water channel at the bottom of the bag (yay physics!). You pour out the water (the channel goes up one of the sides), twist the top closed (with rubber band or twist-tie) and it stays good for, well, a long time. Long enough for you to be able to actually plan a recipe and use it. I'm seriously in awe. I don't understand how it works so well. And they're heavy-duty so you can rinse and reuse them. I'm so happy to have found a solution to the too-many-greens-from-the-CSA problem.
