OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner

There were many times I spent far too long washing and drying salad greens. But, this OXO salad spinner takes that tedious chore out of the equation. It’s a Food & Wine favorite that washes and dries those greens thoroughly and does it in mere minutes. This 6-quart salad spinner’s removable basket doubles as a colander, which you put the greens in to rinse them off. Place it back in the bowl, then use the pump to get it spinning. The bowl can also be used to serve fresh crisp salads, too. Over 20,000 units have been sold in the past month alone, and this bestseller has raked in over 32,200 perfect ratings for its versatility, its time-saving capabilities, and its ease of use. At $25, it’s a no-brainer to put this in your shopping cart — it’s already in mine.

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

There’s just nothing like homemade ice cream on a hot summer day. Having an ice cream maker in the house allows you to add whatever ingredients you want to churn up the desired flavor, from seasonal peach-blueberry to traditional vanilla ice cream. And, it takes only 25 minutes for this Cuisinart ice cream maker to make a batch. Plus, it can also swirl up frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, sherbet, and drinks for everyone to enjoy. It has a two-quart capacity, so you can make it all in one batch, saving even more precious outdoor time. Simply add the desired ingredients, turn the dial, and let the machine do the rest. “It’s so nice to create your sweet treats and have complete control over the ingredients,” says one reviewer, who uses it regularly in the summer months to make gelato, sorbet, and ice cream. Now’s the perfect time to grab it.

Spring Chef Ice Cream Scoop

This Spring Chef ice cream scoop is the ideal accompaniment to that ice cream maker, and it’s 60% off if you grab it in black. It makes scooping ice cream a breeze. Its scoop has a curved design that creates a perfectly rounded scoop that sits nicely on a cone. Plus, its interior has grooves to keep the ice cream from sticking, so you don’t have to use a finger or spoon to push it out. The handle is soft and cushiony, and it has a notch at the end that can open the lid of the ice cream carton. It’s scored over 37,800 perfect ratings, and shoppers say it “cuts through ice cream right from the freezer like butter.” Snag it for $10 for those refreshing summer treats.

The sliding tab lets you use the pour spout, and the lever lets you spray a fine mist. “The mess-free design lets me pour or spray without any concerns about oily hands or surfaces,” writes one customer. Use it for all of your grilled vegetables this summer. It’s currently 52% off in creamy white, making it a hard deal to pass by.
