Save counter space with this roll-up dish drying rack: It's $22 (nearly 40% off)
After five years together, I'm still madly in love ... with my dish rack. This is no ordinary rack. It's multitalented and quite easy on the eyes. My Surpahs Over Sink Foldable Multipurpose Rack — on sale for just $22 — rolls out in a snap to dry my hand-washables over the sink, which was all I used it for at first. That was plenty. But I soon realized my Surpahs can double as a food strainer, kid-art dryer, trivet, laundry rack and so much more. It can even act as extra counter space for food prep and as a cooling rack for cookies.
Why is it a good deal? ????
This minimalist wonder starts at $18 for the smallest size (17.5" x 13.1"); on sale for $22 for the next size up (20.5" x 13.1"); and $23 for the largest size (20.5" x 15.5"). The price of the middle model is the lowest it's been all year — nearly 40% off — so if you're considering it, now would be a good time to add it to your cart.
Why do I need this? ????
The primary use for this roll-up dish rack is to drip-dry dishes. It completes this task without the eyesore of a big clunky rack or the eventual ickiness of a mat.
When I need to reclaim my sink space, I simply roll it to the side. When it needs a cleaning, I pop it in the dishwasher. Several friends have praised my strainer, and I was slow to take the hint. But I finally purchased more as gifts!
Because it's food-safe and heat-resistant, you can use this surface for so many purposes, from thawing to cooling. Plus, Amazon shoppers (myself, included) love the minimalist look. It's sleek unrolled, but disappears in a snap when you want it to.
Oh, and if you're searching for a better way to dry your unmentionables, look no further.
What reviewers say ????
I'm not alone in my love for this rack. It's earned 4.8 stars and more than 30,000 five-star ratings.
Pros ????
One fan said, "My dish-drying mat always gets crusty with the calcium buildup from the water that drips from the washed dishes/cups/pots/pans. Now I wash them, then lay them down on this mat over the sink, so any water that drips while drying goes in the sink, saving me untold hours cleaning the other countertop drying mat."
But this shopper doesn't stop at dishes. They continued: "It's also great for washing produce. You can put the clean produce on this rack to dry. Really sturdy too, and the size is just perfect — not too big, not too small. I can use it both lengthwise and widthwise over my sink."
"So much more than a dish drainer," wrote another shopper. "I baked a cake and used it for a cooling rack. ... It will hold tacos while you fill them ... It is strong enough to put your turkey in the pan, put the pan on the dish drainer and stuff/fix your turkey for cooking."
One customer, who gave it an "A+," wrote, "It's sturdy, holding my heaviest cast-iron skillets, mixing bowls, etc., and yet it rolls up for storage or can be folded halfway to the side for sink use. I leave it out all the time, and items air-dry quickly due to the open-air nature."
Cons ????
"If you have something narrow and tall like a glass vase, it will definitely tip over," noted another reviewer. "If you're smart, you will love it."
Of course, you'll want to measure your sink to ensure a good fit. "My only complaint is that it sometimes falls into the sink, since it sits right on the edges of our sink," explained an otherwise satisfied buyer. "The next size was 3 additional inches on each side, and that would be too much ... But I really enjoy using it."
