The irony, you really need two. One for clean dishes ready to be used, one for dirty, and do away with cabinets!


I once saw a kitchen in Italy which had a cabinet right above the sink. You wouldn’t notice when it was closed, but if you opened it you’d see it didn’t have a flat bottom but dish racks.

So you’d wash your stuff, put them in the cabinet, and they’d dry in there with the excess water falling directly in the sink.

I haven’t used the system myself, but the people living in the house liked it.


Just remodeled my kitchen and I don't have space in my tiny place for a washer.

So, I went with Kingsfors shelves system (similar [0]) instead of cabinets and one of the inserts is this drying rack [1]. Ends up serving kind of as a storage system too.

Really happy with it. I don't understand why people build cabinets around their shelves... you have to open doors to get at things and memorize where everything is at, which is really not optimal.

This is apparently very common in Finland.


Ah, a redundant array of independent dishwashers. I wonder how to abbreviate that... Perhaps RAID?


What if you fill the dirty before emptying the clean?


i dont think a person who went with 'two dishwashers' has this problem


Or, just two sets removable internals, just the racks that fit into an adjacent cabinet/drawer for the clean dishes.


I wonder if people use drawer dishwashers this way.
