Question 1

How many cups is the large vs the small spinner

Accepted Answer

I have the mini. Not sure of the capacity but the container holds 8-9 cups (measured with water).  I would think the spinner bowl would hold about 6 cups.  Works fine for the 2of us.

Question 2

What size are the holes on this little salad spinner?  Will my alfalfa sprouts go threw the holes?

Accepted Answer

The holes are pretty small (approx. 2mm wide and 20 mm long on the sides and varying lengths on the bottom up to 12 mm long) and I actually use mine to de-hull my broccoli sprouts with great success.  Broccoli sprouts are small like alfalfa sprouts if you aren't familiar with them.  I love this little spinner as the holes are large enough to let the hulls out without losing the sprouts.  A few small sprouts slip through but not that many at all.  I hope this helps :)

Question 3

What are the measurements (H+W+D) of the small size and the large size OXO Good grips Spinner. I need to determine where to store it

Accepted Answer

According to OXO's site, the larger spinner is 10.5"x10.5"x5.9" and the smaller one is 8'' x 8'' x 7'', but even that is confusing since we don't know if that is with the plunger extended or locked, and I am guessing that it 5.9" is with the large one locked and 7" is with the small one extended, but it is not indicated at all.

Question 4

Can you use it like a tupperware, as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can store cold food in it (minus the inner basket, unless you want to store the lettuce with air around it)... But be aware that it won't be leak/spill proof like Tupperware.
