The very best dish racks

A gif of the 5 best dish-racks.

Washing and drying dishes is, sadly, just a part of daily life. And even in homes with a great dishwasher, it’s difficult to wash and dry everything without a good dish rack — one that can pack in a lot, without leaving any delicate items perched precariously.

We’ve researched and tested many for over 10 years, and our favorite dish rack simply gets the job done: It’s a steel-framed basin that’s sizable and drains water neatly. But we have a few other favorites, too, including a pricier one that’s … quite beautiful?
