That's a work of art

I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.
My husband Veto'd it, because "that's the epitome of laziness". Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It's his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.
More like the epitome of efficiency.

Except it won't look so pretty and also I can't imagine using the dispensers without taking them out of that thing unless it's VERY rigid.

Exactly!

We have that at work and the dirty one just has a red fridge magnet on it and so far no one has ever messed up

But how do you dry the dishes once the dishwasher is done? Do you leave them in the dishwasher to dry, which mean that you can't add new dished until it's all dry and you've emptied it? Do you let them dry on a counter? But in that case where do you find enough space? Or do you put the wet dishes in your cupboards even though it'll trap moisture in there? Or do you manually wipe the dishes with towels like some crazy people do?

Really? Everytime I go to family or friends who have a dishwasher and help with emptying it, the dishes are always at least a bit wet... Maybe everyone I know just has cheap dishwashers
Sanitizing on high heat seems like a great feature to haveI sanitize my cider bottles in the dishwasher. Works great.

And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”
wrote last edited by [email protected]All this crap in my way and too much clutter. Yuck. Also, anything over a sink is likely to get splashed. This is creating more cleaning work, and for what?
And who dries dishes like this? Are they not already clean and dry out of the dishwasher? Hand washing is very wasteful and time consuming.

Oh believe me the person who does the kitchen would have raised hell if that had happened, they had plenty of meltdown over other things in the past (rightfully so), so I'm quite sure it's a good system.

doesn't the cupboard get moldy if you keep putting wet dishes inside?
Its hollow from the bottom, the wooden part at the bottom is just in the front so water drips to the sink area under and has good ventilation.

That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.

The trick is to wipe it down with a wet soft wipe regularly, you dont even need chemicals.
Even if you don't you don't need chemicals. Just some water and citric acid.

How do you get the knives in and out of that thing?
With AI, of course!
More importantly, why is the drain on the side of the sink? How do to you get the water out of that thing?

That's likely just the overflow drain?

Not everyone owns a dishwasher.

I run it at night and it opens automatically when it's done. Wake up to clean dry dishes.

This is for hand-washing?

True, but even citric acid can hurt chrome coating long term. 1/10 citric acid/water ratio is recommended.

We have one of these! Saw a pic on Reddit and had it delivered within a week. We actually use it all the time for things that shouldn’t go in the dishwasher. A few things:
- They’re expandable, so they can go over single and double sinks.
- They’re generally made of “just strong enough” metal, to the shelves sag. Have had some heavy stuff on there, so it’s still pretty solid.
- It never looks anywhere near this organized.
- Stuff stays on it way longer than necessary, but it does eventually get put away… when we have company over.
I have one of these, too, and I’ve never been able to use it. Would if I could, it’s brilliant! But in my last flat it was too tall to fit under the cupboards, and in my current one it’s too wide to fir between them.
I have a dishwasher, but I use a dish dryer as a ‘pre-washer rack’ because my ADHD ass can never empty a clean dishwasher quick enough to avoid dirty dishes piling up. So the dryer rack keeps dishes from blocking the sink. Stupid problems sometimes require stupid solutions.
