Best Dish Drying Rack Solution?

Nancy Trainer
7 years ago

Time to find those of you who obsess over having a clean kitchen...
how do you handle the inevitable need for a dish drying rack?

We
are in the process of (happily!) renovating our kitchen, and I'm
determined that after we're done, we will not leave an ugly drying rack
out next to the sink. We definitely need something to use, since
inevitably we just don't have time to towel-dry everything after a meal
(or, honestly, would rather let the air do the work).

We are
getting a lovely, large sink (36" cabinet = 33"w sink!) and are planning
on installing a fireclay basin that will have drainage off to the right
side. We figure this lets us either find an in-sink drying rack that
will sit on the left side of the sink (leaving the right side for use
even as dishes dry) OR store a nice-looking countertop drying rack under
the sink, which will have more usable space since the plumbing will
shift to one side.

If you have an in-sink drying rack that works
for you -- including slots for the occasional plate, bowl, etc. please
share! Or, if you are a countertop drying rack lover who actually manages
to put it away every day so that you can enjoy clean counters... do
people really do this? Or do we only have clean counters when company
comes over?Or is the solution to get really amazing kitchen
towels so that we change our habits and just dry everything? Oh, change
is hard...
