Aluminium Dish Rack with Adjustable Spoon Rest and High Pot Barriers

A wet pot balanced on top of a rack of plates is one nudge from the floor, and anybody who has done it remembers the noise.

What Are the Key Features of This Aluminium Dish Rack with High Pot Barriers?

• The spoon rest slides to either end — put the ladles on the side your sink is on, and move them again the day you rearrange the kitchen around them.
• High barrier walls for the pots — heavy pieces lean into a raised edge instead of balancing on top of a stack of wet plates.
• 8 plates in the body — with the big items held separately, so the plate slots stay plate slots rather than turning into a shelf for a saucepan.
• Aluminium rather than steel — no iron in it to rust orange, and 900 g for the whole rack, light enough to lift one-handed and wipe underneath.
• Keep the steel wool away from it — aluminium shields itself with a thin oxide skin; a soft cloth preserves it, scouring takes it off and leaves the metal looking chalky.

Where Can You Use This Aluminium Dish Rack?

• On the counter beside the sink
• On a draining board
• On a shelf in a small kitchen, where washed dishes need somewhere to drip before they are put away

Why Does Aluminium Resist Rust Better Than the Steel Racks It Gets Mistaken For?

• High barriers for the big pieces - most racks stop at plate height, which is exactly how a wet pot slides off the top of them.
• Aluminium, not the steel it is often called - no iron in it to turn orange, which is why the rack is rust resistant.
• 900 g lifts one-handed - the rack comes off a wet counter so you can wipe underneath it rather than work around it.

Details

Material & Build

• Frame: aluminium - no iron to rust orange, and self-shielded by a thin oxide skin. You will see this rack called stainless steel; the metal is aluminium, and that is what is printed here.
• Rust resistant, on the strength of the material rather than a coating.
• Adjustable spoon rest that slides along the rack to either end.
• Slip-resistant feet.

Dimensions

• Quoted size: 33 x 43 x 15 cm, with the 43 cm being the run of counter the rack takes beside your sink.

Colours

• Black, White and Beige.

Care

• Keep the scouring cream and the steel wool away from it. The oxide skin that protects aluminium is thin, and scrubbing it off is what leaves a rack looking chalky and grey long before it is worn out. A soft cloth preserves it.
