Dish Drying Rack with Direct Water Drainage System

An expandable draining rack is an open basket positioned across a kitchen sink for washing dishes, fruit or vegetables and allowing water to drain directly through the openings into the basin.

The rack expands from 25.5 to 44 cm and measures 21 cm wide, allowing it to adapt to a range of kitchen sinks. It consists of one open rack only, with no additional tiers or separate compartments, and provides a practical surface for everyday washing, draining and drying.

The problem: Placing freshly washed dishes or produce directly on the countertop may cause water to collect, while some draining containers occupy valuable sink or worktop space.

The solution: Expand the rack so that it rests across the sink edges. Suitable items can then be placed on its open surface while water drains directly into the basin, helping keep the surrounding countertop tidier and drier.

• Expandable design adjusts from 25.5 to 44 cm.
• 21 cm width provides a practical over-sink surface.
• Single open rack with no additional tiers or compartments.
• Openings between the rods allow water to drain into the sink.
• Suitable for washing and draining fruit and vegetables.
• Can drain and dry suitable dishes and kitchen tools.
• Makes practical use of the space above the sink.
• Requires no drilling or permanent installation.
• Can be shortened after use for easier storage.

• Washing and draining fruit and vegetables.
• Draining water from dishes after washing.
• Drying suitable cups or utensils horizontally.
• Draining small kitchen tools that cannot pass through the openings.
• Creating a temporary working surface above the kitchen sink.

1. Measure the sink and the available support distance between its edges.
2. Expand the rack gradually until it matches the sink size.
3. Rest the two wide ends evenly on the sink edges.
4. Check that the rack is stable and cannot slide before loading it.
5. Distribute dishes, fruit or vegetables evenly across the surface.
6. Allow water to pass through the openings into the sink.
7. After use, empty, clean and dry the rack before shortening and storing it.

The rack expands from 25.5 cm when closed to 44 cm when extended and measures 21 cm wide.

Before purchasing: Measure the distance between the two sink edges that will support the rack. It must fall within the expandable range while leaving enough contact at both ends for stability. Do not rely only on the basin opening measurement if the sink edges are narrow or curved.

It combines washing, draining and drying functions in one adjustable rack. Instead of allowing water to collect on the countertop, the open design directs it into the sink while the expandable length adapts to the available space.

Without an over-sink rack: Wet items may need to be placed on the countertop, or a separate colander may occupy part of the sink.

With the expandable rack: The space above the sink becomes useful, and water flows back into the basin instead of collecting on the worktop.

Rinse the rack after use to remove food and detergent residue, then dry it thoroughly before storage. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that may scratch its surfaces, and do not place excessive or uneven loads on it. The product visibly combines metal rods with side components, but the exact metal and component materials are not specified; it should not be described as entirely stainless steel or guaranteed rustproof.

• Kitchen sinks compatible with the expandable range.
• Washing and draining fruit and vegetables.
• Draining and drying suitable dishes and utensils.
• Kitchens with limited countertop space.
• Everyday household use.

• Sinks outside the 25.5–44 cm supported range.
• Narrow or uneven sink edges that do not provide secure support.
• Very small utensils that may pass through the openings.
• Heavy cookware or large stacked loads; load capacity is not specified.
• Use as a cutting board or food-preparation surface for sharp tools.

• Measure the sink and its available supporting edges before purchasing.
• Confirm that both ends rest securely on the sink before loading the rack.
• Distribute items evenly and avoid concentrating weight at one end.
• Do not place exposed knives or small tools that may fall through the openings.
• Do not allow children to pull the rack or place their hands beneath it during use.
• Wash produce according to appropriate food-safety practices; this rack drains water but does not sanitize food.
