SALAD SPINNER

   Not an OED entry, but there is one citation from 1985.  There are no trademarks for the thing.
   It was heavily advertised in the NEW YORK TIMES.

   5 August 1973, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. 37 ad:
SALAD SPINNER.
Crisper salads start here.  Our French salad spinner spins dry your greens in seconds for better tasting salads.

OT:  FOOD IN FILM

   I forgot to mention that I read through REEL MEALS, SET MEALS: FOOD IN FILM AND THEATRE (Sydney: Currency Press, 1999) by Gaye Poole.  It's not great, and it's Australian and not American.  The best thing was this quotation to start a chapter:

Pg. 167:
"There is no love in this Veal Marengo."
