Product Description
16.5", wooden pasta drying rack. Great tool for your inner Italian!
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

 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.
Simple design, but very effective March 19, 2006

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.
Norpro Pasta Drying Rack is a lifesaver November 25, 2003

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!
Very handy June 20, 2002

Works great. Interesting alternative use when we are not drying pasta with it - We keep it out all the time and use it to dry used ziplock bags after washing them for recycling. Can easily handle even the 2 gallon size. We use to try drying them on the counter, which just works so-so.
Works as advertised--very handy indeed... June 30, 2007

This is a great little pasta drying rack, and the price is right. The main pole screws into the base, and the drying rods then get inserted through the main pole. The pasta sides off of the raw wood poles very easily when you are ready to cook it. Plus it all disassembles in a second to be easily stored, taking up little room. This is one of those rare kitchen devices that just effortlessly works from moment one, with no fuss or instructions needed. You don't realize how handy this thing is until you have and use it. I formerly laid my pasta out on the counter, which does work, but also promotes much more clumping together, even with lots of flour tossed about. This rack is a much better solution.
It's a winner. I would say that if you are making a lot of pasta--for 4-6 people--that this might be a little small, and you might consider two of these units.
