Abstract
A salad spinner has a support frame with a receiving aperture. A colander is supported by the support frame in the receiving aperture for rotation about an axis of rotation. A removable drive assembly is removably coupled to the support frame and colander, and the removable drive assembly includes an actuator to transmit a driving input applied to the actuator to rotate the colander. A fan having a plurality of angled blades is mechanically coupled to the actuator to force air into the colander.
