Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Even the longest fresh fettuccine or linguine won't touch the counter when draped on the arms of this sturdy pasta drying rack. The rack stands 16-1/2 inches high, including a heavy, stable, 7/8-inch-thick base. Assembly (and disassembly for storage) is simple. The 3/4-inch center post screws into the base. Four 18-inch dowels then slide through holes in the post, providing eight arms--cunningly angled so they don't interfere with one another--on which to hang fresh pasta to dry before going into the pot, refrigerator, or freezer. As is traditional, the rack is made of unfinished wood so pasta strands don't slide off. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Our traditional wooden pasta drying rack is perfect for drying fresh homemade pasta. The eight arms are angled so they don't interfere with each other. Like traditional drying racks, the rack is made of unfinished wood so the pasta strands won't slide off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pasta Drying Made Easy!, May 26, 2001

The Norpro Pasta rack is great! What I like most about the drying rack is its easy to assemble, use and put away. Before I had to lay the pasta to dry on the counter, which in my kitchen is limited. Now it hangs nicely on the rack, leaving room to prepare the rest of the meal as the pasta drys.

I love this pasta rack! Before I bought this pasta rack, I was forced to dry my pasta on the counter. I would sprinkle the counter with flour and then begin the layering of the pasta, the towels and the flour. In other words, it was a big mess. But now, since I bought the Norpro Pasta Drying Rack, pasta drying is a cinch and very easy to clean up. As soon as I roll out and cut the pasta dough, I simply drape it over the wooden dowels to dry. No flour, no towels, no mess. I usually make two lbs of pasta and have never run out of room on the rack. I know that the design is very simple and the wood is not the strongest on the market, but it really serves its purpose and serves it well.

This is a great pasta drying rack! I have limited counter space, so I got one of these to help and it works SO nice! It's easy to set up, easy to use, easy to store - I don't have a bad thing to say about it. Highly recommend!
