Another Bunny Mission If you are captured or killed on this mission, then you are taking it somewhat too seriously. But I have a kitchen issue, the solution for which has long escaped me.→[More:] My kitchen sink is in a nice corner, 45 degrees from square, with counters on each wall. It's nice to stand at it looking out the window.

Only problem is the dish rack, which is rectangular, hence does not drain into sink well.

I am looking for a dish rack/drainer which has one side at 45 degrees, so it will "fit" into the space and drain efficiently.

I have not found any such thing but there are people here who are smarter than I am.

A nice shiny new Oregon quarter for anyone who can help. Seriously. I'll mail you a quarter.

Thanks.

I've ditched my dish drainer entirely. I use a tea towel over a clean counter. It's not always sitting on the counter. And it's not dirty, because the counter is clean and tea towels are for clean dishes only, no hands ever. Maybe I just do it because my mom did. Well, and the flour sack tea towels seem to be more absorbent than most 'kitchen towels'.

When I had a really small space, I mounted a coated-wire basket to the underside of the cabinet over the sink. Dunno if that suits your configuration or not, though.

Would this work?

Taz! Why oh why did I not have one of those while living in the RV?!

Youngergirl, taz and essexjan, thanks. . .the Plato seems to not be available anywhere but the Drainboard is. . .I will order one, I think, and my wife (who washes most dishes, while I do most of the cooking) will be impressed. She'll ask me where I found it and I'll say, oh this woman I know from the net. THEN the conversation will get interesting. . .*smile*. . .

thanks again, all.

Oh, hey. I've got the same problem. I'm probably to cheap to buy anything new as opposed to just letting it drip everywhere, but it's nice to know I could if I wanted to.
