Effortless Vegetable Draining Method (Without a Salad Spinner)
The Easiest Way to Remove Water from Vegetables in 10 Seconds, No Spinner Needed!
Sometimes, after washing vegetables for a salad or for freezing, it’s essential to remove excess moisture. If you have a salad spinner, that’s the easiest way, but if not, waiting for them to drain can take a very long time. Today, I’ll share a secret method to remove water from vegetables in just 10 seconds when this happens. Let’s make preparing fresh vegetables quick and easy!
Ingredients
- Prepared vegetables (for salads, freezing, etc.)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a clean and sturdy plastic bag. Line the bottom of the bag generously with several layers of paper towels. This will help effectively absorb the moisture from your vegetables.
Step 2
Carefully place the washed vegetables onto the layer of paper towels inside the bag. Then, cover the vegetables with another layer of paper towels, ensuring they are well-covered. This step is crucial for maximizing water absorption from the surface of the vegetables.
Step 3
Now, seal the bag opening and puff it up with plenty of air, making it nice and full. With the air inside, the bag will act like a gentle cushion around the vegetables. Holding the bag securely, shake it up and down and side to side for about 10 seconds, as if you’re trying to shake the water off. The air inside the bag, combined with the paper towels, acts much like a centrifuge, surprisingly and effectively removing moisture from the vegetables. Now you can use your fresh vegetables immediately without worrying about excess water!
