The Kitchen Table

Trouble finding a particular product

12 years ago

I need to replace something and can't remember where I bought it or what it is called. If I knew exactly what to call it, I could do a search, but as of now my search words aren't working. It is a rack (for lack of a better word) that sets underneath my dish drainer. It is made of the same material (coated wire) as the dish drainer and of course, the plastic/rubber tray is between the drainer and this rack. The rack is slanted to aid in the water draining back into my sink. Ring any bells? I bought it online from one of the "junk" catalogs, like Walter Drake, Harriet Carter, etc. But I've looked at their sites and at amazon and I just can't see what I'm looking for. It is rusting and badly needs to be replaced. I'm hoping someone can either point me in the direction of the product or give the name of it. TIA.

Try "slanted dish drainer board" or " slanted dish drainer tray".

Just an idea but could you maybe type in the google search something like, three piece metal and plastic coated dish drainer rack, and instead of web hit images? There will be many that come up and just one might be the one you are looking for. That would help in a proper search for the right store that might carry them.

Ohh man it's funny you say that, I am in the process of buying cedAr shingles right now, I actually just posted on the new home building forum. I spoke with this guy at true north an found him totally unprofessional. He kept making comments you must be rich blah blah and so on us he quoted me an outrageous price. If you need a good contact for cedar let me know.

I need help finding a particular marble tile for the floor

The second pic is Michaelangelo marble. The orange is the dead giveaway. Premium specimens will be a warm dark brown with whie and rust streaks. That looks honed, or a ''commercial'' grade specimen. The first pic isn't even ''real'' marble, as Avanti says, and has nothing in common with the second pic. It's not the same aggregate at all.

Trouble finding instant dry yeast - will heat destroy it if delivered?
Q
Comments (35)
We did not bring the BGE with us - it is quite large and difficult to move once it is assembled. Also, it can get broken fairly easily, or so I have heard. The house here came with an outdoor gas grill that is fairly large. If I make pizza, it will have to be rectangular, but that's okay - I've done that before. I'll have to bake it on a jellyroll pan, as that is the only baking sheet I have here that I have found so far. I'm still finding things that the previous owner left, including a rolling pin. I had already bought a rolling pin for $7, but that's okay because the pin I found needs a very good cleaning, and probably a sanding! I am staying inside most of the day, but I can go in the pool early in the morning, but if it is only 72°, it might be too cold for me to swim, even though the pool is 85°. I've changed the heating schedule for the pool so that the heater comes on at 5 am so that it will be warm enough for me by 7 am. I think that is the best time for me to get my exercise. It's already too hot for me to go bike riding, even in the morning, as I like cool temperatures for that, and 72 is not cool enough, especially with the intense sun we get here. Our air conditioning is good enough that I can still bake in the kitchen, and the oven is well insulated. I'll start some dough today and bake it tomorrow. I just hope I have a bowl big enough, or I might have to make half a recipe. I forgot to bring large mixing bowls with me. ETA: I found a bowl I can use - we bought a colander at Cárdenas that came with a plastic bowl and lid, and the bowl is large enough, but just barely. Nice that it has a lid.

Having trouble finding Scion Wood and Root stock for J Maples?
Q
Comments (4)
Can you get your hands on any JM seeds or seedlings? They reproduce prolifically in my area and most established trees will have a miniature forest of seedling JM's growing underneath unless weeded out conscientiously. That can at least give you a start on the rootstock. For scion wood, you will have to find someone growing a lot of cultivars that you can take cuttings from. But you will need to have the rootstock growing and up to size before you do that. This is a long term prospect so don't expect things to happen overnight. You are looking at 5-10 years down the road before you have a salable inventory.

I believe Rubbermaid makes a variety of what you're describing, Donna. At least they've made the last few of this type of drain that I've bought.

Try Bed, Bath and Beyond kitchen department. That's where I buy mine and they seem to carry a pretty good stock of Rubbermaid's products.

You might have to buy the whole dish drainer to get the drain board. Anne_ct mentioned Bed Bath & Beyond, I know they carry them, because my daughter, Molly works at our local BB&B and she complained about dish drainers that wouldn't stack easily.

I just put a terry cloth dish towel between my drainer and the drain tray, hang it up to dry after I put the dishes away, then toss it in the laundry every few days.

go on the Bed Bath and Beyond website and see if they have something there. Just go through the kitchen dish drain pans part. yeah, I'm no help when it comes to using the right words either. ;)

Donna, something like this?

I don't have one, for the few hand wash things I have I just use the straight Rubbermaid set up. For larger pots I bought an oversized terry drying pad thing at BB&B that I try not to use because it takes too long to dry out after using and I can't put it damp back into the cupboard ;)

Here is a link that might be useful: slanted drying rack amazon
