1. A spinning device for drying food comprising:
an open top container;
a cover substantially covering the open top of the container;
an internal basket disposed in the container and rotatable relative to the container about a central vertical axis (A) of rotation;
a central drive assembly carried by the cover and coupled to the basket for effecting rotation of the basket, the drive assembly including a linearly reciprocating handle structure axially movable with respect to the cover between a raised position and a lowered position and a conversion mechanism for converting reciprocating movement of the handle structure to rotary motion of the basket,
wherein the conversion mechanism includes a lid substantially retained against axial movement, the lid being releasably coupled to the basket and engageably coupled to the handle structure so that axial movement of the handle structure relative to the lid, between its raised and lowered positions, causes rotation of the lid and of the basket;
a biasing structure for biasing the handle structure toward the raised position; and
a brake assembly for reducing the rotational velocity and/or for stopping the rotation of the basket relative to the container, characterized in that the actuation of the brake assembly is effected by a rotation of the handle structure of the drive mechanism with respect to the cover of the container around said vertical axis (A) of rotation.
