Dish Drainer

A quality dish drainer makes the ideal hand-washing companion for small dish clean up. A dish drainer is essentially a simple rack system that holds plates, cups, and silverware upright, allowing water to drain into a mat or sink. When using an automatic dishwasher is not an option, a dish rack can help save time by air-drying dinnerware when hand-washed.

Dish drainers are made from a variety of materials including wood, bamboo, plastic, and metal wire. Most dish drainers are not meant for large loads of dishes, but for small one meal or quick wash loads. Dish drainers are ideal for households that do not have automatic dishwashers or for dinnerware that is not dishwasher safe. Dish drainers are also handy when camping, as they are portable with some easily folded for travel. A quality dish drainer should offer a sturdy rack for holding plates with space for silverware and cups. Measures should be taken for proper care and cleaning of dish racks to prevent mold on drain mats or rust from metal dish drainers.
