Dishes dry standing up
Plates stacked flat on a towel trap water and stay damp for hours. Upright slots let up to 17 plates or bowls drain and air-dry fully, so they go back in the cabinet clean and dry.

At a Glance
- Holds up to 17 plates: dinner plates or bowls stand upright to drain
- Black drain tray: catches drips before they reach the counter
- Mug hooks on the side: cups hang upside down so water runs off
- Cutlery holder: forks, spoons and knives dry together in one cup
- Black-coated wire: a dark wire frame that wipes clean
Hand-washed dishes need somewhere to drip that is not a soggy towel. This Better Chef rack stands up to 17 dinner plates or bowls in its black-coated wire slots, hangs mugs on hooks along the side, and keeps silverware upright in a separate cutlery holder. A black plastic tray sits underneath to catch the runoff, so the counter beside the sink stays dry. The rack measures 17.5 by 13.75 inches and stands 5 inches tall, a compact footprint for apartment kitchens and busy family sinks alike.
Key Features
- Room for a full load: slots hold up to 17 dinner plates or bowls on edge so they drain and air-dry.
- Drip tray included: the black plastic tray collects water under the rack instead of letting it spread across the counter.
- Side mug hooks: cups and mugs hang upside down on the frame, freeing the slots for plates.
- Separate cutlery cup: a 4-inch holder keeps knives, forks and spoons upright and easy to grab.
- Black-coated wire frame: the black-coated metal wire wipes clean with a cloth.
- Low 5-inch profile: sits neatly beside the sink without crowding the backsplash or upper cabinets.
What's Included
In the box: one 16 inch black wire dish rack, one black plastic draining tray and one cutlery holder.
Before You Buy
- Measure the counter beside your sink. The rack is 17.5 x 13.75 inches and the drain tray is 16.5 x 12.5 inches, so check that space before you order.
- It is built for dishes, not cookware. Plates, bowls, mugs and cutlery fit best. Large stockpots, sheet pans and cutting boards are better dried on a towel.
- Wash it by hand, not in the dishwasher. Hand wash the rack and tray, and towel-dry the wire now and then so standing water does not spot or wear the coating.
Perfect For
- Hand-washing dinner dishes at the kitchen sink
- Apartments and small kitchens with limited counter space
- Homes without a dishwasher
- Delicate plates and mugs you prefer to wash by hand
- An extra rack for big holiday cleanups
Care & Use
- Empty the drain tray after each load and rinse it with warm soapy water.
- Wash the rack by hand and dry it with a soft towel to keep the black coating looking clean.
- Let the tray dry fully before setting the rack back on top.

Why a real dish rack beats a towel
The counter stays dry
Water that drips off a rack has to go somewhere. The black tray underneath catches it, so you empty one tray instead of mopping up puddles that creep toward the wall and under the toaster.
Everything has a place
Mugs hang on the side hooks, silverware stands in its own cup, and plates fill the slots. A full sink of dishes finds a spot in one small footprint beside the faucet.

How does a countertop dish rack compare?
vs. a dish towel on the counter
A towel soaks through and leaves plates stacked and damp. Upright slots drain each piece and the tray keeps the counter dry.
vs. a roll-up over-sink rack
A roll-up mat covers the sink and holds a few items. This rack keeps the basin open and holds a full load of plates and mugs.
vs. a rack with no tray
Without a tray, runoff pools on the counter. The included tray catches it so you can empty and rinse it in seconds.
