Plate slots are what make a drying rack work properly. Plates stood upright in dedicated slots drain and dry in a fraction of the time they take stacked flat, and the top tier here holds around ten plates at once — a full household wash-up in one load. Beneath it, the second tier takes bowls, cups, pots and glasses, so everything drains together rather than covering the counter. Aluminium is the specification worth paying for: unlike coated steel, it does not rust at chips and scratches, which is where every coated rack eventually fails in a wet kitchen. The drainer channels water back into the sink.

Buying guide
Position the rack so the drainer channels water into the sink and sits level, since a board tilted the wrong way puts water on the counter. Stand plates in the same direction so water runs off consistently, and keep glasses at the end where they are least likely to be knocked. Wipe under the drainer weekly — that surface is otherwise never cleaned. Aluminium needs no rust protection, but wipe off hard-water deposits, which dull the finish over time. Empty and rinse any utensil section weekly, since it stays wet longest.
How it compares
Against a coated steel rack, aluminium never rusts at chips, which is where every steel rack eventually fails. Against a three-tier model, two tiers suit a smaller counter. Against a flat drying mat, plate slots dry crockery far faster.
Frequently asked questions
How many plates does it hold?
The top tier's plate slots take around ten, which is a full household wash-up in one load.
Why aluminium?
It does not rust. Coated steel racks look identical at first but bleed rust from every chip and scratch in a wet kitchen.
Where should the drainer point?
Into the sink, with the rack sitting level. A drainer tilted the wrong way puts water on the counter instead.
