KitchenAid Pasta Drying Rack (KPDR)

I tried my first batch without rack and learned rack kept pasta from sticking together!

I have a couple other pasta drying racks. All hang the pasta next to each other. Sometimes the pasta sticks to the pasta on other racks. This design is far superior. It keeps the pasta away from other pasta that is drying. It also comes with a special wand so you dont bump the other pasta by accident.

I received this for a Christmas gift, and it comes in so handy. I made my first batch of pasta and it was so easy to us. I just wish there was a little more information on it, such as a user guide. I know it's a simple thing to use, but I didn't realize there was a transfer rod, or anything. Some more explanation would be nice. Over all, it's a great.

This gift was just what she wanted.I do not know measurements or dimensions because I purchased it for a gift.

Yes you can buy cheaper ones but this one does feel like it's better quality.

Just used for spaghetti made by the 5-piece roller set. Used the KitchenAid egg pasta recipe. Very easy to use and efficiently dries the pasta. It would have been good to include cleaning instructions; we only learned to simply wipe with a damp cloth from an answer to a previous review question. An improvement might be to provide a lock for the open drying arms.

Fast, fast shipping. The pasta rack is beautiful and very sturdy. I read it holds up to four pounds of pasta; although I haven't used it, there sure is amply surface space. I kep the box for safe storage. Cleaning is wipe clean only. Love this one of all I found. Linda L

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a gift for Christmas! I love it. The best feature of this pasta rack is collapses for storage. No other pasta rack does that! Whoever created this was so smart! Great engineering!

Generally very good and useful tool. Pros: Easy to use. Easy to clean. Stable. Holds "reasonable" amounts of pasta. The concave transfer rod is a very good idea as it properly fits on the hanging rods when transferring pasta. Folds nicely for easy storage. Cons: Not enough room if you want to dry extra amounts of pasta for later use. The lower rods are too close to the countertop, and are not suitable for hanging longer noodles. A telescopic vertical rod to adjust the the rack heigh would have been a good solution. Very useful accessory for small/medium batches of pasta.

Purchased one thinking it would be great but mine doesn't seem the stay up.... The clear arms just keep falling to the bottom and I've tried many times to twist them into place, but they just slide down...very disappointing
