Wood Amazon.com Review: Even the longest fresh fettuccine or linguine won't touch the counter when draped on the arms of this sturdy pasta drying rack. The rack stands 16-1/2 inches high, including a heavy, stable, 7/8-inch-thick base. Assembly (and disassembly for storage) is simple. The 3/4-inch center post screws into the base. Four 18-inch dowels then slide through holes in the post, providing eight arms--cunningly angled so they don't interfere with one another--on which to hang fresh pasta to dry before going into the pot, refrigerator, or freezer. As is traditional, the rack is made of unfinished wood so pasta strands don't slide off. --Fred Brack Customer Reviews: Rating:

Great space-saving solution
I love the mind that figured this one out. There's plenty of pasta-hanging area in a small space. Also, I love that I can take the whole thing apart and put it back in the box and keep it where I keep trays...easy storage.
I did, however, get one that only had three holes drilled in it, rather than the four that it's supposed to have. For the price I can drill the fourth hole....I just have to get the right angle. I didn't return it because I was making pasta and wanted to use it right away.
As another reviewer stated, the holes for the dowels are a little sloppy so the dowels slide out when removing the pasta, but I found that to be good because I just slip a wooden spoon handle under the pasta and slide the dowel out for easier removal of the dried pasta from the stand.
I love this dryer.... inexpensive and very useful....and much better than propping sticks between the backs of chairs. Rating:

I replaced it :-(
The dowels did not fit firmly in the holes, so that they would slide when I was taking pasta on and off. Also, it does not store well, if one takes the dowels out, you need a rubber band or something to attach them to the post so you don't loose them. I'm afraid I got rid of it and replaced it with one of the ones where all the (plastic) arms spiral out, and the tripod feet retract in straight -- and that has tucked into the center pole a really handy rod for hanging and unhanging the noodles, which I find surprisingly useful.
However, if you were thinking about getting it, and storage is not an issue for you, and you don't mind fooling with it a little bit to get the dowels to stay firmly in place, there's no reason you wouldn't be happy with it. Rating:

Good Old Fashioned Pasta Drying Rack
We make our own pasta and this is very convenient. It does not take up that much space. Rating:

wobbly, but works
The top screws into the base, and it never gets comletely tight. It wobbles a bit. The dowels slide thru the holes in the rod. It works, it's not expensive. It accomodates a full batch of pasta. Convenient to have it up off the counter. Rating:

Better than the back of the chair
IF you want to make homemade pasta, you will need a drying rack. You can hang the stuff all over the house, on the back of chairs, on the oven door handle...or just get this to begin with. Hey...that is a good idea...just get this to begin with if you want to make homemade pasta. |
