Yamazaki Tosca Dish Drainer Rack ($98)
If you think all dish racks are automatic eyesores, you haven't met Yamazaki's Tosca Dish Drainer Rack yet. Minimal and stylish, the powder-coated steel rack and wood handles prove that this kitchen essential can be practical and pretty. I set it up in my own kitchen and was surprised by how many dishes it can handle. For more details, read my Yamazaki Tosca Dish Drainer Rack review.
Editor Quote: "While it's fairly petite in size, it can hold a surprising amount of dishes, thanks to the removable cutlery holder and strategically-molded steel frame. My favorite feature is the tall draining tray that doesn't need to be kept by the sink for overflow. Instead, I can tuck it back in a corner while dishes are drying or move it off of the counter entirely if I need more space. I was afraid that the water build-up would be annoying to have to constantly lift and dump every time the dishes dry, but the water that does accumulate tends to just evaporate. I simply wipe the tray down occasionally to keep it clean. Overall, the dish rack is surprisingly low maintenance." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
