Will a roll up drying rack fit over my sink?

Pick 0039 · Roll up dish drying rack, silicone coated

The rack is 20.5 inches long and spans the sink by resting on both edges, so a sink opening wider than about 19.5 inches leaves nothing for it to sit on. Measure the opening, not the cabinet. AddToPick rates the rack worth buying for small kitchens, because it takes no counter space and rolls up when the sink is needed.

What it is

The rack is a row of silicone coated steel rods joined so the whole thing rolls into a cylinder. Unrolled across a sink, the rods carry dishes and the water drops straight into the sink below.

The coating is what keeps the steel from rusting where water sits, and it is also what stops the rods marking cookware.

How it works

A conventional rack occupies counter permanently and holds a tray of standing water underneath. This one occupies the sink only while it is in use, and there is no tray because the water goes into the sink.

Rolling up is the second half of the argument. A rack that folds flat still has to be stored somewhere; a rack that rolls into a cylinder goes into a drawer or hangs.

It carries weight. Reviewers report heavy pots sitting on it without the rods bending, which is what separates it from thin rolling mats.

It doubles as a colander surface. Reviewers rinse produce over the sink on the same rack and let it drain there.

Who it is not for

Questions people ask

What sink width does the rack fit?

The rack is 20.5 inches long and rests on both sink edges, so an opening up to roughly 19.5 inches works. Measure the opening rather than the cabinet.

Will it hold heavy pots?

Reviewers report heavy pots sitting on the rack without the rods bending, which is what separates it from thin rolling mats.

Does it rust?

More than one reviewer reports a year of daily use with no rust, which comes from the silicone coating over the steel.

Does hard water leave marks on it?

Reviewers in hard water areas report spotting appearing on the rack, and report it wiping off rather than staining permanently.

Can it be used for anything besides dishes?

Three separate reviewers rinse produce over the sink on the rack and let it drain there, which works because the rack sits over the drain.
