Innovative Dish Rack

I was random surfing when I came across this creative disk rack. Check it out; @ http://www.thinkgeek.com/

Home, home on the range

Well, there aren't any deer or antelope playing in your kitchen. At least, we hope there aren't. Especially antelope since their horns are solid, bony and built right into their skulls. At least with a deer, you have the off-chance of the horns breaking before they gore you. Not so with antelope. Remember that, friend. We're sorry if them's discouragin' words, but we gotta tell it like it is. Life is rough on the range.

So your kitchen - not a range, but it has one! - is probably overflowing with little tiny things that need drying. That little plastic cup-dealie attached to your standard issue drying rack just doesn't cut it. All the tiny wet things just clump together and become a big wet thing! FAIL. Parents of baby geeks know that they come with tons of accessories - bottles, nipples, pacifiers, tiny utensils. Just plant them in the flexible blades of grass and they'll stand erect like prairie dogs. Dripping wet prairie dogs. The two-piece design makes it a breeze to clean and both the grass and tray are dishwasher-safe. Home on the range just got a little easier!

Rust-proof Stainless Steel Dish Racks! By Simple Human

It has been a long time since I have reviewed a product. If you are new to the kitchen like me, you might be duped into buying a "stainless steel" product, thinking that it might last and rust proof. In fact, my trusty dish-rack is rusting like crazy simply because it is "stainless steel" coated.

This made me determined to search for a perfect ideal dish-rack that will meet the following requirements:
1) RUST PROOF!!
2) Proper ergonomic design
3) Configurable to my needs
4) Affordable
I managed to narrow down our choices to the Kitchen Dish-racks by simplehuman from Home-Fix D.I.Y.


After making numerous price and function comparisons, I was sold. Home-fix has a 5 year rust free warranty for the dish-rack ranges and the price is reasonable at S$199.00 (other shops were selling at least S$178.00 for a simple 2 tier dish rack with no rust proof guarantee and no proper ergonomic design!).

simplehuman also have their own blog.

simplehuman dishracks make drying and storing dishes faster, safer and cleaner. The dishracks adjust to your household needs by allowing cup holders and other accessories to be placed in areas where they are easiest and most convenient to reach. The high grade 18/10 stainless railing and clear ABS plastic components make our dishracks durable and easy-to-clean. Innovative accessories like a knife block and removable plate holder keep items safe.

The removable plate holder and extra large utensil holder are made of a clear ABS plastic that is gentle on dishes. Place the cup holders where you want or add wine glass holders that safely store wine glasses neatly, stem-side up.

The extra-large utensil holders have wide holes that allow for quick draining.

The drip tray has feet that can tilt up to improve drainage and prevent water from accumulating.

No more chipped plates. Our removable plate holder is made of clear ABS plastic that is gentle on dishes and lifts out for easy cleaning in a dishwasher or by hand.

Our utensil holder also comes with a knife block that doubles as a shallow drying area. The knife block helps safely store knives and separates them from the other utensils. Flip the knife block over, and it doubles as a drying area for small items. If you've ever spent time trying to dig out a sippy cup filter out of a utensil holder, then you'll appreciate this detail.

The swingarm dishrack has a unique storage area that can be raised to dry wine glasses or lowered to hold larger utensils. The swingarm dishrack shares the same utensil holder and drip tray as the system dishrack, but uses a grooved wire design to hold plates in place. The metal cup holders can be placed anywhere along the railing.
