Are you wondering whether dish racks for sinks are even necessary nowadays? After all, our kitchens are increasingly equipped with dishwashers, so why do people need dish dryers? Yet it turns out that there are still kitchen accessories that enjoy unwavering popularity. Such products include dish racks, which are useful even if you don't cook every day. Find out why so many people still readily choose these solutions!
Countertop dish racks
The kitchen accessories market provides us with a really large number of options when it comes to choosing dish racks. Among them, countertop dish racks are quite popular. They are a practical solution that works especially well on granite countertops, which are resistant to water. If you have a wooden countertop in your kitchen, this does not exclude the possibility of placing a dish dryer on it, but you will need to choose a model that protects the countertop from spills. Otherwise, you will have to dry it every time you place something on it. After all, you have to take proper care of the wood in the kitchen!
Among many modern solutions used in the kitchen, there is also the option of an integrated countertop dish rack. This is a very practical idea that works especially well in small kitchens where every centimetre is precious. Such a modern dish rack can be set into the top of a cabinet, and the hole it contains can be directly connected to the drain and equipped with an automatic plug. It is most often made of stainless steel resistant to high temperatures. It is useful for everyday washing of dishes, pots, and food products that can be left on it to dry.
Sink-mounted dish racks
The second, very popular solution is a dryer for the sink placed directly on it. It will work perfectly if you have a really large sink, preferably with two basins. We place such a dish rack over one of the basins, which allows you to conveniently place each washed dish or pot. Specially shaped compartments allow the safe setting of wet plates or cutlery without fear of them falling into the sink.
The frequency of manual washing is important when choosing the right dish rack. If the tap in your kitchen is mainly used for filling water, and you wash dishes and pots in the dishwasher, you can choose a sink with a small dish rack, which will allow you to set individual cups or mugs, which you wash in the sink.
Or perhaps a hanging dish rack above the sink?
The last but not least idea for a dish dryer is to hang it on the wall. This solution works regardless of whether you have a single-basin sink or a larger one. Often, this type of dish rack is hung in a special cabinet placed above the sink. This allows for the convenient setting of washed dishes and cutlery while ensuring order and tidiness in the kitchen.
More often, however, customers opt for hanging dryers without housing, whose size may depend on the number of basins in the sink below. A small sink combined with a small dish rack will fit into a kitchenette where there is no room for a dishwasher. When deciding which dish rack model to choose for your kitchen, it's worth paying attention to the other elements of the interior design. If your kitchen is a modern room with a minimalist style, then the dish rack should also match it stylistically. The decision regarding its appearance may not be as important as the choice of sink, but it's also worth devoting some time to it.
