Has anyone ever seen a salad spinner for sale in Korea? Back home they are a rather common kitchen tool to have, and recently, with the healthier living craze, salads have become more common ,and the variety of leaves has increased somewhat.

I have kept an eye open for one but never seen.

I see them around pretty often.

Costco sells one, but it's stainless steel or some kind of metal and heavy.

I've seen them in with the plastic kitchenware items in a variety of different stores, and also in department stores where they sell cheaper plastic goods, usually down near the grocery store area. I think Hanssem Furniture has them in the kitchenware section.

They're pretty expensive, but when I checked the price back home, I was surprised to see they usually cost between $20 and $30, and that's about what they cost here. A Tupperware spinner is $42. Can't imagine why they're so expensive. I'll stick with a $2 towel.

I've looked around Homeplus and E-Mart, Suwon, and CostCo, Yangjae, but to no avail. If anyone has a specific location, ideally in Suwon, it would be very much appreciated if you could let me know.

Lots on gmarket nd other sites - there are some identical to ones selling for twice the price in North America.

We got our spinner from the Hannam international food market in Seoul. It was about 25000 Won. It's light plastic too and easy to use.

Thanks to all for the info. I found a plastic one on Mple for 7k.
