Cleaning is cooking’s evil counterpart.  It’s a tedious task that never seems to stray from obnoxious and annoying. For that reason, I look for every way possible to cut down on cleaning time and reduce the number of dirty dishes.

If you’re making pasta and a salad, there is a little trick to prevent cleaning one extra dish. Sure, it’s only one dish, but it could be that last dish that breaks the chefs back!

Instead of breaking out the collinder to drain your pasta, remove the inside of your salad spinner - it should serve the exact same purpose!
