  1. I've always been a huge fan of romaine lettuce.
    Considering the recent romaine scare, I found that actually washing it first decreases all chances of getting sick.

  2. And all those nasty stems with no taste and no nutritional value at all to ruin your salad. Yuck. And for all of you wanting to do a better job of rinsing the lettuce clean, the salad spinner is excessive. I rinse/soak in cold water with a splash of vinegar, then drain with a quick rinse of cold water again to properly flush the dirt and bugs. Then load up the chopped lettuce in a plastic bag and give it a whirl or two and drain, and you'll have nice clean crispy lettuce for days.

  3. Outstanding video. Thanks, especially, for your explanation as to why it's all right these days to ignore the old "lettuce should be torn not chopped" rule. I never knew what the reason for it was but it's a rule I had been trying to follow since way back. As for that particular head of romaine lettuce you were working with, I sure don't see any that big in the grocery stores I frequent.
