Making your own pasta is enough of an adventure without having to find places to hang it out to dry. That's what all those clotheslines in Italy are used for when they're not drying clothes. This wooden rack takes about 10 minutes to put together (really) with a Phillips screwdriver. It stands 15 inches high, and has 12 wooden dowels upon which you can hang your fettuccine, spaghetti, capellini, and the like. Go for it. Making fresh pasta is fun and worth it--and if it doesn't work out, you can always use it to hang your socks out to dry. Ciao! --Shannon Borg
I've waited so long I won't discuss in detail the myriad of homemade ventures that were undertaken to try to make a 'rack,' (except the dowel rods hanging out of the empty wine bottles, that was pretty good) but will comment that it is almost criminal to not sell this with the pasta machine. Unless you are cooking for one -- not likely after kneeding for 25 minutes -- you're basically at a loss once the first batch comes marching out the machine an onto your arm. 'Where should I put this?' you ask innocently. The answer is that there is no good place anywhere in your kitchen. It will stick to itself and everything else and it will dry improperly and you will be becoming increasingly furious as you basically ruin every other batch. Unless you want to initmately know the anger of a sicilian, buy this. A nice convenient product that we've put to good use This is easy to set up and easy to store, as well as being easy to clean. I really enjoy making fresh pasta at home, and this drying rack was the perfect addition to my set-up! Well made and durable. Not a bad rack The good stuff:-Has LOTS of pasta drying space.-Dowels come off for easy manuevering of pasta.-I find it to be attractive, but I like simple wooden thingsThe bad stuff:-Difficult to store, it doesn't fold on its own-Difficult to take apart, the screws on mine were stripped-A little flimsyOverall, not a bad buy for the price - but there are better racks out there!
