Lol! Love you homie!

I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.

I like these a lot better since the dishes are put a lot higher, meaning more space to move between the shelf and the sink. Guess this makes me no longer young.

Yeah, and not just Ikea stuff either, local brands there offer this too.

(I actually don't really like the concept, but would def think about it if for some reason I would stop using dishwashers.)

Wait they're not common elsewhere?

Genious.

How often is your raw chicken in the sink

My short ass finds some of this helpful but not enough! It's going to be difficult to get some of the stuff from the back of the top rack for me. More room though...

It's a DRYING rack, it isn't meant to be permanent storage. You wash the dishes after dinner, and place them in the rack. The next morning, after they've dried, the first thing you do is put them all back in the cabinets.

However, I acknowledge that a LOT of people won't bother with the second step.

I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.

But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don't regret.

What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn't hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It's cheap material and easily modified.

Do you mean like this?

It's basically in every kitchen in Finland, and has spread somewhat to the other Nordic countries, but is apparently rare elsewhere.

There was a guy on reddit who had two dishwashers for this reason.

I feel like it would be more difficult to manage a system to figure out which one is dirty, rather than just emptying it.

More like the epitome of efficiency.

You are an absolute genius. If I was in a house I would build this 100% (I build all kinds of random things).

Also, tell your husband to do the dishes if it's so easy. Reading hard.

True, the one on the picture is an overkill for meme reasons

The trick is to wipe it down with a wet soft wipe regularly, you dont even need chemicals.
