Nonono, I disagree with the salad spinner! I like crisp, fresh, dry lettuce...wet lettuce just dilutes the dressing!
My wife agrees with you. She takes a salad to work about every day, and she rinses all the greens then spins them dry.

You'd have a hard time getting me to give up my cheap little B+D steamer, too. It is fantastic for making fluffy rice, and it gets used to steam fiddleheads, asparagus, and other delicate vegetables.

Also, keep the tea ball. Great for bouquet garni in dishes that need simmering.
We have a pretty large one made of stainless mesh that gets used for making hibiscus-blossom tea.
