A dryer for dishes is needed by everyone. We are used to using it, not really thinking about what a brilliant invention it is. It contributes not only to the quick drying of plates and other appliances that we use several times a day. This smart device also allows you to keep your essential utensils always at hand. Kitchen dish dryers, thanks to their mostly pleasant design, can even decorate your kitchen.
We offer you to plunge into the incredibly exciting and diverse world of kitchen dryers.
Separation of models of dishwashers most often occurs by the method of their installation. Such dishwasher dryers are known as: hinged, for washing, wall-mounted, in a cupboard. Based on these basic characteristics, designers sometimes come up with very convenient and original options.
Hinged structure
The hinged structure is quite common in the kitchen. It is fixed on the wall in a place convenient for operation. It is possible to place such a dryer in a cabinet. It should fit the dryer. Using this type of mount, do not forget about some of the weight restrictions that such a design can endure.
My - dry
Dish Dryer - Troflex is installed in the same plane with the upper level of the sink. When you need to dry the dishes, such a device is simply placed on the sink. And already objects for drying are placed on it. This type of dryer is most often made from metal materials. It happens in the form of a grid and in the form of steel gratings. But you can buy a more expensive option - a wood dryer.
Plastic troflex is also a good idea. Such a dish dryer is available for any category of housewives. Of the advantages of this model is an additional pleasant bonus in the form of a great place for washing and drying vegetables and fruits. A flat surface successfully fits into almost any kitchen design. Of the minuses of such a dishwasher dryer is the closure of the sink during washing. Although there are options that cover only part of the sink.
Cupboard dryer
Built in kitchen furniture. It can be located in the lower stands of the headset or in the mounted. Such models of dryers are quite roomy. Well suited for large and friendly families. Most often, these models have two levels for utensils. Traditionally, one level is offered for tea cups, and the second - for plates and other accessories.
Options for built-in dryers can be equipped with additional shelves, for drying glasses, for example. This type is good in that it is able to dry a very large number of dishes at a time. Closed cabinets protect clean kitchen utensils from dust. Water in such a dryer flows into a special tray placed under the grates. To save from excess moisture in this place, it is better to drain water first before final drying in it, using, for example, a tabletop dishwasher with a tray. And for greater certainty that your headset will not deteriorate from dampness, you can provide the cabinet with additional ventilation in the form of drilled holes.
Stationary
A table-mounted dish drier is installed on any suitable surface near the place where it is washed. Most often this is, of course, the countertop near the sink. This variety can also have many tiers for placing dishes. Some models are complemented by instrument compartments. There are folding options for table dryers, they can be folded and removed from the eyes if necessary. There is also a stationary drying rack for dishes with which this can not be done. When choosing this kitchen accessory, think carefully about the design and functionality. This device will always be in sight, so you need to select it for the overall style and color scheme of the kitchen.
Pay attention to the material of the dryer.
The materials from which dryers are made are often exposed to water and high humidity. Therefore, they must have excellent water repellent properties. The case and additional accessories of dryers for the kitchen are made from:
- Steel protected against fatal corrosion in a specific way. It can be enamel coating and chrome plating.
- From stainless steel. Long-lasting beautiful reliable version of a dish dryer. True, it’s more expensive than the first option, but you don’t have to worry about chips and scratches, which then leads to the complete uselessness of the device.
- Drying from plastic materials can have a rather bright and effective design. Desktop inexpensive models are made of plastic in different colors. They are not very strong and are not suitable for a large number of kitchen utensils. From plastic, pallets for most types of dryers are mainly produced.
- Wooden models are deservedly considered an elite line of dishwashers. Drying made of wood, well-crafted and protected from destructive drops of moisture, will complement the kitchen, decorated in the Provence style, eco-style and country style. Before placing your dishes in a wooden dryer, it should be dried additionally on any other type of drying.
We spread a rug for ... dishes
With the advent of various silicone products in our homes and kitchens, it became possible to replace the dryer with a comfortable rug made of this material. The silicone mat is convenient in operation: we place it while washing dishes near the sink, arrange our washed plates and mugs, wait a while until the water comes off the dishes, and put it in the cabinet. Then we remove the rug from the eyes. Although, if it takes up very little space and is completely annoying with its presence, you can leave it.
Rugs are divided into two types:
- Rubber, silicone or plastic version of the mat is equipped with a ribbed or embossed surface. Wet water rushes into these cavities. After you put the dried dishes in the cupboard, you simply drain the water from this mat and it is already dried out.
- Microfiber cloth mats that absorb moisture are also well suited for drying dishes. The moisture-absorbing mat will prevent moisture from entering the countertop and spoil it. Microfiber is famous for its practicality, it easily withstands washing, does not lose its softness and, in addition, is durable.
