Sink Drainer Rack - IKEA

[blackfish]

This (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70154800/) is billed by IKEA as a 'pot lid organiser' but it's pretty perfect as an extendible rack for allowing dishes to drain on a small galley sink draining board. Folds neatly away for stowage. Stainless steel with non-slip rubber feet.

Looks a nice idea if you have the draining board - which we unfortunately do not!

We've used one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Caravan-Boat-Folding-Dish-Rack/dp/B00569RQNO but the retaining lugs eventually go, and it’s a bit fiddly to clean. This looks more robust, but also perhaps fiddly to clean: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/24636/OXO...8725!&ef_id=VzC6mwAAASMadELa:20160510165439:s

A collapsible type might be better. Some (from Lakeland and John Lewis) seem to drain directly onto a board, but this one has a drip tray: https://www.buysend.com/Product/Det...gear-summit/&gclid=CKSE_Ov8z8wCFYEy0wodpBoD0g

This https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VAC85KY?psc=1 looks really neat and also has a built-in drip tray, but it seems from the reviews it may not do well with deeper bowls.

Thanks for the tip, it looks good. Although I can't see me willingly be dragged round the place by SWMBO, even for a coffee and a plate of meatballs.

I only went in for the meatballs!

I only go for the steak - and 20cl of red wine - and as many refills of double expressos that I feel like. And all for a ridiculously modest price.

The meatballs 'her indoors' buys frozen in the shop (along with the salmon) and we have at home in various guises. What a wonderful institution IKEA has been for overpriced Switzerland.

That one looks very nice but I think it might have some stability issues. I'm guessing that it's AVS is quite low!

Just got one of these for £4.99 from B & M http://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/collapsible-dish-drainer-red-2998782

That's what I thought, but not the case. As chief dryer upper I was proved wrong.

It helps to use the quote function with such cryptic comments. Perhaps you are commenting on an earlier post of mine:

If you are, and if you had read my location (top right), you will have seen that I live in Switzerland and that the entry of IKEA interfered with more than a few cartels here and indeed helped to lower prices generally, followed by the German chains of Lidl and Aldi, which helped even more.

Actually, geography was quite a favourite school subject of mine, but I do know what you mean with so many, especially from North America, confusing those two countries beginning with "Sw.."

Welcome to the forum, by the way
