The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Twist-to-close mesh ball. Leaves go in easy, water gets in easier. Cheap, dishwasher-safe, lives in the drawer for a decade. No frills. Sometimes that's the right answer.
Twist. Drop in. Pull out. Drawer staple for a decade. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve, without pretending to solve every stage after it.
