That's a good idea too but the little spout really intrigued me. Small things - small minds - you know the pattern. lol

I should buy one like this. Mine is not good as it does not drain the water correctly. My dish washer broke some years ago and I decided not to replace it.

@JudyEv - There are many things that you cannot place in the dish washer, I decided not to waste money to replace mine.

@LadyDuck That's very true which is why I think this drainer will suit me.

You'd think any drainer would be adequate but some are better than others. I really like this one.

I'm surprised that this thingy is a novelty for you. I've had one for ages. I bought it mainly because I hate doing the dishes. I have to do the washing up, I can't avoid this. But I can at least avoid the drying if I put the wet dishes on such a rack..

This type is a novelty. I'd had other drainers but this one with the spout really took my fancy.

@JudyEv (325854)

@MALUSE I thought the spout was a great idea and the fact that the tray is so easy to clean while the counter stays clean too.

We have one too but a simple one. I use a plastic basket (with perforations)as you can see in the photo. The drained water is collected in a tub below. We keep the washed utensils over night there and they all get fully drained.

@JudyEv — it’s not your fault. You’re correct, a dish-drainer should be a dish-drainer!!!! It’s like a spatula, but then who knew that part of adulthood was having a favorite spatula?

@FourWalls I hear you! My best one broke and do you think I can find another one as good? They need to have just the right amount of flexibility but a smidgeon more and they are just a continual frustration.

That's quite useful. We have a dish-washer but have only used it about a dozen times in the six years we've lived here, we normally wash by hand. But there's usually more stuff to drain than there is space on the draining board, we really need two as I hate having to stop and dry things!

@JudyEv Me too, I hate having the dirty things hanging around. But I dislike dishwashers, that horrible distinctive smell, and sometimes if someone doesn't completely clean stuff off (such as bits of cheese off the grater) then it comes back with melted cheese stuck all over it and makes me think that other things can't really be properly clean. And it destroys glasses. I don't mind washing things by hand and of course it can be quite sociable! But I hate soggy tea-towels. I guess the answer is just to get a lot more tea-towels!

@JudyEv I've never actually noticed a smell attached to them. There are quite a few items I don't put in the dish-washer - another reason to have a decent drainer. My glasses seem to come out sparkling. It's one thing I really like about them.

This isn't the best for holding lots of items but it will be ideal for the few things I have from time to time. And it will save all the water sitting on the bench top. My friend doesn't have a dish-washer and refuses to let any guests help with the dishes. She does what will fit on her drainer them comes back an hour or so later and does another batch. That would drive me crazy. lol

I don't like dish drainers for my kitchen, as I refuse to leave them out, so if I had one, I would need a place to put it. I use a KitchenAid drying mat--it's a heavy mat that soaks up water when needed. I only need it for pots and pans as I use a dishwasher. When I'm done using it, I can hang it up, which beats trying to find a cabinet to put the dish drainer in. But some people like dish drainers.

My friend has one of those mats. I think I'd be too lazy to take it out to hang up and it would sit there wet for hours and hours. But if it works for you, then it's all good.
