Kitchen Dryer
In order to start talking about the varieties of this subject, let's first analyze what it is.
Objects for drying dishes are different. There are built-in wardrobe, there are freestanding. They are classified in many ways.
Each such thing in the kitchen consists of completely independent departments. There are departments for storing cups, for storing dishes. Each part of this department should be made of durable material so that the dryer does not fall apart from the volume of dishes placed in it to dry.
Such vessels are divided into several types:
- Single tierwhich are intended for salad bowls and small plates.
- Bunk. They are designed to dry the bowls separately from the plates.
- Combined. On them it is possible to dry any kitchen appliance from a ladle to large plates.
Another type of dishware is recessed. They are attached to the walls. cabinet through plastic mounts. There are cabinets with dryers for dishes, both at the top and bottom. And if the apartment has a dishwasher, then the dryer under the bottom of the sink is the most convenient of all.
The materials that are used in the manufacture of glassware are varied. This may be the usual plastic, which is considered the simplest. From it mainly create the dishes, which are placed on the working surface. And for embedded dryers use metal from stainless alloys. Other metals are used, but they are covered with a layer of anti-corrosion coating. As a result, neither moisture nor any other aggressive substance affects them.
Another type of material, however, already obsolete, for the manufacture of dryers is tree.
This is the most expensive material. From the past centuries it has been considered a sign of luxury and prosperity. In the production of wooden vessels, they are covered with a layer of moisture-proof material. Therefore, they, like metal, are not affected by water.
And before buying any of the kitchen utensils, you must measure the place where it will be. So that later there are no problems. A department for cups should be on top of the plates. Since the water from the plates after washing will drain into the cups, if they will be below and again pollute them.

Ambulances are classified by:
- type of material;
- by tiers;
- in size.
For example, you cannot put a dryer eighty centimeters long in a closet with a much smaller size. Or, conversely, a small length of the dryer in a large closet. It will at least not look aesthetically pleasing.. Therefore, it is important to choose the exact size. Especially if you order a dryer to order.
What is the advantage of such dryers and small cabinets? They are compact, do not take up much space. They look pretty solid and neat.
What you need to know for mounting such a dryer in the closet? The place where this dryer will be should be well ventilated. That is, the cabinet must have a high-quality exhaust hole. Or, you can drill two small holes on the drying side to maintain a constant air flow. Thus, moisture and different odors will accumulate less inside. So the dishes will always be clean and tidy.
The pallet needs weekly maintenance.
Otherwise, it will accumulate dirt and various pathogenic bacteria, which is not only unpleasant for the owners who use this dryer, but also unhealthy.
Such dryers are made mainly from metal. They are coated with an anti-corrosion layer so that the material does not rust during use.
The kit consists of a dryer for cups, for plates and a pallet. Such a dryer weighs together about one kilogram. Together with the plates in it, of course, add weight. Therefore, the cabinet must be well fixed on the wall so as not to fall from the weight of the dishes that will be placed in it.
On the walls of the cabinet should be strong fasteners: either small plastic corners or metal pins. On them the vessel will fasten. They should sit tight in the cabinet holes. This is done so that, under the weight of the dishes, the dryer does not fall and does not break all the other dining items.
In such a vessel fit up to eighteen plates. If you live in a big house, where guests constantly gather, and parties are held, then it is better to choose a larger vessel, respectively, for a larger number of cutlery.

These dryers will already differ from those discussed above in size and weight. They are more powerful, voluminous. They are installed in standard kitchen cabinets. The capacity of these vessels is equal to twenty-eight plates.
The tray must be removable or retractable to make it easier to wash.Those who choose large sizes for cabinets, of course, must be aware that the price of such vessels will be appropriate.
The pallet will not be a plastic one, but a metal one with a special coating to protect it from moisture.
If a vessel measuring sixty centimeters in size can still be placed in a sliding wardrobe, then at eighty it will hardly work. Therefore, such vessels are made only for stationary cabinets.
Although, the current masters are able to do everything. RWhen choosing, make sure that the dryer is made with high quality. If it is installed in a sliding wardrobe, then it must be exactly the same size as the plates, so that the plates and cups do not prevent it from moving out when opening and closing.
return to menu ↑Stainless steel
This type of vessel is the best acquisition for those who love hygiene, aesthetics, durability, ergonomics.
Firstly, a stainless steel dryer permanently saves you from seeing rust after prolonged use of conventional dryers.. Since plastic dryers quickly break down, and metallic, though not immediately, but the layer to protect against moisture gradually becomes thinner or due to mechanical stress during use.
When opening the cabinet doors, such a thing will always please the eyes, and the plates that stand in it, will ideally fit into the atmosphere that creates a chrome-plated product.
But their price matches the quality. Therefore, to buy a good device that will bring you comfort and joy all your life, it is better to choose a chrome dish.
return to menu ↑Pallet
The tray for drying dishes is almost always made of plastic. Since this device should be easily removed from the cabinet, wipe and not rust from the moisture that falls on it during drying.
Pallets must fit the size of the vessel itself.. You will never be sold a tumble dryer sixty centimeters, and a tray from an object for drying dishes eighty centimeters. The pallets must be covered with special products that protect them from mold and various fungal microorganisms.
There are special mats-pallets. At the same time they serve as a vessel, a device for collecting drops from dishes. Such items are usually sold separately. They are needed as an additional device for drying glasses, cups, and other cutlery.
Varieties of dryers with sizes
Above, we figured out with built-in dryers, which sizes are suitable for which cabinets. We learned what these items are made of. Now let's deal more seriously with the size.
The main dimensions of the dryers are as follows:
- Five hundred millimeters.
- Six hundred millimeters.
- Seven hundred millimeters.
- Eight hundred millimeters.
These sizes are used everywhere and are considered standard. These dimensions are calculated according to the width of the kitchen unit. For example, if a cupboard has dimensions that are six hundred millimeters wide (or sixty centimeters), then, accordingly, the vessel will also fit these dimensions.
These are the dimensions of the built-in vessels. But there are others who simply serve as part of the decor and perform a useful function. Such items for drying can be made of any size.
Can be sold with and without pallet kits, with cutlery sections. It all depends on the designer's imagination.
Stainless
A rare hostess will choose something short-lived for her kitchen. The same applies to dryers. The best item that is built into the kitchen module or simply serves as an interior decor that benefits, is a dryer made of stainless alloys.
The cheapest of the dryers are enameled. But they are short-lived. The enamel breaks off quickly, and rust appears on the chips and various pathogens accumulate. Yes, and these dryers are mostly limited in size. Their width always remains the same and is equal to forty-five centimeters, ninety and one hundred centimeters. Such dryers should be placed in places where they will be as careful as possible or built into the closet.
Another thing is chrome drying for dishes. They are beautiful. And also they are wear-resistant, resistant to various mechanical damage. Serve long. They have trays for moisture from plates and cups. Pallets are usually made of transparent plastic. Although in some models the pallet is not included in the kit and you need to buy more Such items are expensive in price.. They can be either built-in or stand alone on a special sink tray designed for dryers.
Sizes for these types of items for drying dishes, there is an incredible amount. From the smallest thirty-centimeter to the largest - meter. Such bulky sizes in width are explained by the fact that the thick bars of the lattices into which the plates and cups will be inserted have the ability to withstand a large amount of dishes and the weight that it will give.
Unfortunately, these stainless dryers do not have their own pallet.
Corner
In addition to non-built-in dryers, there are also embedded ones. They differ in that the dishes and cups are hidden from prying eyes. And the built-in types themselves are divided into several types of dryers. Each view is called because, the place and the functions that the kitchen module performs.
Thus, there are standard dryers. Which are inside the hinged module directly above the sink, where the dishes are washed. These dryers are not always convenient.. First, if the housewife is small in stature, then she can hardly reach the very top where the cups are. Substitute a chair or ask your husband to constantly help put the cups in place, too, absenteeism. And if a person is tall, he will constantly bury his head in this closet when washing dishes.
Usually, dishes from thirty to fifty (this is the maximum) centimeters are placed in this cabinet. It usually comes with fasteners, pallet. Such dryers are often two-tier.
One upper section is set to dry the cups, and the other, lower, is used to dry the plates.
The pallet is made of high quality non-breaking plastic.. He is also unable to accumulate various bactericidal microorganisms. The only thing he needs is a weekly care. Rinse in running water or wipe with a cloth moistened with soapy water, and then you can walk with a regular damp cloth to leave no traces and make it look as if just bought.
This type of object for drying dishes - ergonomic.
It allows you to use the free corner of the kitchen room, especially in the "Khrushchev", where it is difficult to have a free place. It helps to divide the room and place all the necessary elements in it, to create a cozy atmosphere in a small kitchenette.
For housewives with low growth fit dryers, built-in lower floor cabinet. Thus, the shelf for dishes will always be at hand, you will not need to climb somewhere up. And even better if this cabinet will be retractable.
Having dealt with corner dryers, let's move on to another type that housewives will also love. These are appliances for drying dishes that are hidden in the drawers of kitchen modules.. What are their advantages and disadvantages?

Such kitchen items of furniture very convenient and comfortable to use. First of all, no one will see what kind of dishes you have in the house, respectively, there will not be any extra questions if you are not a lover or not a fan of telling and showing everyone your good.
Secondly, comfort for housewives with low growth or for future helpers mother. Girls can easily wash the dishes and hide them in a sliding wardrobe so as not to reach up and not to expose the high chair.
In this type of dryers, manufacturers provide everything. Mount facade, installation of the pallet - everything is done specifically to help housewives. They easily slide on special sliding runners. They easily roll out and roll back. Provide full access to the dishes. They have the same sections as for standard dryers for cups and plates.
Now they also began to build departments for spoons, ladles, and other cutlery into this type of dryer.
Take care of such things. It is necessary to lubricate the runners with special oil annually so that they do not creak. Despite the fact that the material is a durable material and wear-resistant, stainless, proper care is necessary. You can do this yourself by searching for additional information on the Internet or by asking the company where you purchased this type of dryer. Or call a special master at home, who will carry out maintenance work on this item.
Choosing retractable vessels, you choose the convenience for yourself in the first place and for the whole family.
All utensils will be hidden in a single place. You will not need to look for her in the event of an unexpected arrival of guests.
Having considered all kinds of dishes, let's more carefully move on to the last part of this article. Namely, what kind of dryer to purchase - from two levels or single level.
return to menu ↑Two-level
The two-tier dishwasher - the best choice for housewives. It can be folded plates, cups, spoons. When buying such a vessel, the main thing is to look at how well it is made of what material. For mounted dryers usually use a metal alloy with a coating of enamel or with the application of anti-corrosion substances. Thick-dish bins will be better able to withstand the weight, the number of plates and cups placed on it, in comparison with the flimsy twigs.
When buying a two-tier vessel it is necessary to pay attention to the distance between the first and second level. As with a small distance, the large plates you simply do not fit in the departments specially created for them.
It is desirable that the dish was made of thick stainless rods. Then the long life of such a thing and its strength are provided to you.
Also, vessels of this type can be embedded. They fit easily into corner kitchen units, front cabinets, drawers.. They are much better than simple ones with one level for drying dishes. Since they allow to accommodate a large number of different dishes.

So, when choosing a dish, any housewife should pay attention primarily to:
- Sizes of the vessel. Since it depends on them how much it will fit into the items of kitchen utensils. And also in which cupboard she will fit. You can not buy a pottery larger than or smaller than the cabinet that you have.
- Acquire such a thing only from reputable companies.. This will reduce the cost of buying unexpectedly broken substandard dishware purchased from an unknown or first-time, and not yet reputable company.
- Pay attention to what this dish is made of.. Chrome-plated, enameled or generally simple steel, which can rust next year. The latter kind of course is not worth buying. And you define a chrome-plated alloy by its solid appearance and gloss.
- When buying a vessel you need to look at the size and thickness of the rods.. What weight depends on them will sustain this subject.
- You must immediately pay attention to the presence of a pallet.. And if it is not included, then it is better to buy it. The pallet is better to buy chrome metal. Unlike plastic, it will last longer. Of course, for the dishwashers that will serve as part of the decor and stand on the sink, the fact that it will be without a pan will not lead to anything terrible. Since all the water will flow down into the sink. But if you buy a built-in container, then you cannot do without a pallet. Otherwise, the remaining moisture on the dishes will fall on the wood of the cabinet and deform its surface.
Of course, choose what kind of pot you buy the case for an amateur.
But it is important to remember that for built-in dishes in the kitchen module it is necessary to introduce good ventilation.
In extreme cases, drill holes in the walls of the cabinet. This way you will not be disturbed by mold and unpleasant smell. In this case, external vessels that are installed on the wall or on the sink would be the best option. As the mold does not accumulate, water either gets on the pallet, or goes immediately to the sink. No odor will spread. Because the dish is open and the dishes literally instantly dry out.
The disadvantages of external vessels include inconvenience in use.. On the sink, they can fall if inadvertently touched by some large object or pan. And the wall can also be damaged. In addition, all the dishes are in sight, and if there are flies, insects or cats at home, this will lead to poor sanitation.
Advantages of sliding vessels - invisibility. They are located in a closet that retracts. Thus, he does not interfere with any housewife or other relatives. And also hidden from pets and insects.
Guided by these pros and cons, you can now choose one of all the existing types of vessels that we have discussed in this article.
