Even if you have a dishwasher, a dish drying rack is a helpful accessory in any kitchen. Not only is a dish drying rack more convenient than hand-drying dishes, but it’s also more sanitary. Did you know that dish towels can easily grow bacteria including E. coli? Drying racks eliminate contaminated surfaces coming in contact with your dishes. These make an excellent housewarming or wedding present. Here are our favorite dish drying racks.
KitchenAid’s dish rack can fit the largest of your pans. We love the extra storage for silverware in the removable flatware caddy. The gray finish lends itself to a sophisticated look that’s also rust- and corrosion resistant. With a design that can be used over the sink to dry or leave standing on a countertop without worry due to the drain board, this drying rack is truly multi use. You won’t be embarrassed to have this sitting on your kitchen countertop.
Welcome to the modern age of drying dishes with this bamboo rack. Royal Craft Wood’s dish drying rack is made from renewable bamboo so it’s eco-friendly. This rack is two-tiered for extra storage and can also be collapsed for more counter space. To keep the bamboo in top shape, we recommend refreshing the wood with vegetable oil monthly.
If you have a large family with lots of dishes, then this dish rack is for you. iSPECLE’s stainless steel rack is two-tiered for maximum storage and can hold up to 110 pounds. There’s even storage for unusual utensils, including grilling accessories, that often get overlooked with smaller racks. The rack features an upper and lower water tray to prevent water from dripping on other dishes or the counter.
Surpahs’ dish drying rack is a smart pick for apartments and small spaces. Because the mat lays directly over your sink, you don’t have to worry about water collection trays. It can easily accommodate all dishes, pans and even fine china. This roll-up rack can also be used as a heat resistant trivet and is dishwasher safe.
Not only does this rack dry dishes, but it also stores them. Tsmine’s drying rack can hold up to 60 pounds of dishes, cups and utensils. We love that the accessory is very easily moved and adjustable to fit over most sinks. This rack boasts seven utility hooks, anti-slip suction cups and a stainless steel design. The snap on structure lends itself to easy cleaning.
