We’re Obsessed With All The Ways We Can Use This Roll-Up Kitchen Drying Rack
Need a drying rack that won’t take up space?
You’ve gotta check out this clever drying rack that fits right over the kitchen sink and then rolls right up when you’re finished! It’s one of the must-have kitchen tools I use daily–and for several reasons.
This kitchen tool is a team fav!
I actually first saw this similar rack while visiting Collin’s home on our last team retreat, and I bought this roll-up dish kitchen rack as soon as I came home. (Actually, many of us on the Hip2Save team now own it!) I find it to be super handy, plus it looks nice. I love the look of this so much better than those plastic clunky dish racks that take up valuable counter space, don’t you?
Even with a dishwasher, miscellaneous things still need hand washing. Air flows easily through the rack, and this dries the dishes quickly. The dryer is made of a non-slip, sturdy material that secures to the top of the sink and won’t slip around or sag, even when there are heavier pots sitting on top.
There are so many uses for this drying rack!
In my house, I think it actually encourages everyone to quickly wash their drinking cups. Plus, since the roll up drainer sits on top of the sink, the sink stays cleaner and clutter-free. In addition to washing dishes:
- You can use it as a surface to wash produce and prep food, like produce.
- Use it as a spoon rest, then just rinse it off easily after cooking.
- Place small washcloths and sponges to dry.
- Wash and dry baby toys, bottles, binkies, and other small items on top.
- Keep another roll-up mat in the laundry room for air drying delicate knit fabrics, baseball caps, and other hand-washable items.
Hip Tips:
- Don’t need the full width of the drying rack? Just roll out half of it to use. It’s so easy!
- Need double the stability for heavier pots? Fold your drying mat in half over the sink.
- You can clean your dryer in the top rack of the dishwasher, though I just hand wash mine and let dry.
- When you’re done, just roll and tuck the dryer behind kitchen faucet for easy storage.
- This roll-away mat is also perfect for college dorm sinks and for RVers!
Where has this been all my life?!
This roll-up kitchen rack is so smart and clever. If you’re like me, you’ll never go back to your old dish drainer again!

I own one & I love it!
Awesome- thanks for sharing Ivette!
Thank you for the great idea! The majority of the hand wash items I have are pots and pans so I decided on the silicone coated steel one from BB&B. The price was the same as this one from Amazon after applying a 20% off coupon.

You’re welcome, Jennifer! Thank YOU for sharing your find with us!
Thank you, thank you for another awesome product idea. I am so sick of the ugly clunky rack on my counter–after reading all the awesome reviews on Amazon, it’s already in my cart!! What a great idea–and roll-up storage!!!
Oh that’s awesome- I know you’ll enjoy like me ❤️
I have the Curtis Stone one from HSN. I also use it as a hot pad for baking dishes, cookie sheets and hot pots and pans, as well as a drainer. Someone said they used it in the bathroom for their hot curling irons to protect their counter.
Oh wow! There really are a ton of uses for this neat rack! Thanks for the helpful comment!
Got mine….LOVE it! How did I live without! Thanks
