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

Good once the anchor is setThe threaded piece that is in the base wasn’t properly set. I hammered it in with a small torx bit and it works great. I knocked off a star because that shouldn’t be necessary

Function and BeautyI bought an Amazon Certified “used” product at a reduced price. The box was damaged but the product itself was like new, although there were no internal paperwork or instructions.This rack looks great and was a bit larger than I expected. It is quite sturdy. One of the dowels was slightly warped, but it doesn’t affect function, and is hardly noticeable when assembled. The rack is real unstained wood sanded to an extremely smooth feel. There was no noticeable odor, not even that of fresh wood.However, it does not appear to have any kind of finish so eventually the woodgrain will become raised with continued washing. (This may be ameliorated with application of food safe oil or sealant.)Contrary to another reviewer’s comment, there IS a nut, visible underneath, but it is likely made of soft metal, so be careful of over tightening or risk stripping the nut.Also, there are no “feet.” I will be applying some silicone feet to raise the wood base from the counter to avoid the puddle of water that inevitably streams across my counter.Overall a good purchase. I actually bought this to dry my washed plastic bags and it works well for that.

Is a Perfect Dryer of Homemade GoodnessGone are the days of hanging noodles everywhere. This looks small, but holds enough pasta for a family of six.I made noodles when my daughter was growing up, but she hated the noodles everywhere in the kitchen to dry. As did I and her father.Perfect.

Exactly as described!Last week I made the mistake of looking for my pasta rack with pasta slung over my arm. It was nowhere to be found, and my husband said I returned it because it was junk. (I had not, but suspect he took matters into his own hands and disposed of it). It looked a lot like this one but was mostly plastic (had been described as wood). I returned to Amazon immediately and bought the Norpro, because their products are always what they say they are, and are among my favorites. This rack is very simple, and is actually made entirely of wood, just as they say it is. A lot of other companies say theirs is wood, and it is, a little… so it is nice to find one which actually is. This is my third pasta rack and the only one which is actually all wood.

FABULOUSI don’t know why I never purchased a pasta drying rack before. this product is amazing. easy to set up and take down and store. I have been making homemade pasta since the early 1970s. both my grandmothers made homemade noodles, and my mom taught me to make noodles, which I passed on to my daughter.Due to shoulder work-related injuries, I have never been able to roll out the dough as thin as it needs to be when making noodles. Up until my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she made the noodles, but after a few years, she was to weak to make them any longer.I struggled to make them, until I discovered I could use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, to mix the dough. There was an awesome sale on the Kitchen Aid pasta cutter/roller set a few years ago, my struggle sere over. Up until then, all the generations rolled the dough out and then laid the dough out to dry on the counter or cookie sheet. My kitchen is very cold in the winter, and drying time was extremely slow.After reading the reviews for this drying rack, I ordered it and am extremely pleased with the product. Drying time is less than half, and no need to flip the noodle dough over 2 or 3 times to allow for even drying.

Nothing fancy, but that isn’t a bad thing…There are some crazy expensive pasta drying racks on the market, but I liked the fact this one was simple and affordable. Is it the best quality? No, but it gets the job done and seems like it will hold up for a while to come and that’s all I could ask for out of this piece.

Stores easily away yet dowels stay perfectly in place for pasta drying; looks bigger than in the photoMy concern when ordering this was that it was going to be too small to do a big batch of pasta. Somehow the photo, without it being placed beside anything to give it size relation, made me worry it would be too small when drying pasta. It actually works great for a big batch and the base is about the size of a dinner plate at the edges if that gives you size relationship.The reason you want a wooden pasta drying rack is so the pasta does not slip off. It has a natural “grip”. Yet it wipes clean easily; don’t be concerned with that.And because this one comes apart it’s easier to clean.I love that it stores away until I’m ready to make pasta. These are long dowels and rods so I just place them at the edge of a drawer and they are all together. Since the rods are over 12″ long, unless you put them in a “junk drawer” you aren’t going to lose them in the edge of a drawer.It fits together in a snap. Just slide the rods through the holes. Because you aren’t turning it sideways when gently laying the pasta across the rods, it easily stays into position until you are ready to take it apart in a snap as well! My rods fit easily in and slid easily out.If you are REALLY into pasta making I suggest the Viante Pasta maker Model CUC 26pm. I do not find it yet on Amazon but I got it at Williams Sonoma with a wedding gift certificate. You just dump in the flour ingredients, choose 1 of 14 discs depending upon what kind of pasta you want (makes tubular to spaghetti to lasagnetti sheets) and it does the mixing and kneading then squeezes the pasta out all in about 20 minutes. It’s a fun toy we are loving. I went to review it on Amazon but they have a different model number that makes less pasta so I don’t know if that’s as good or not. Incidentally I have no ties to this pasta company and I will say their owner’s instruction manual is the worst ever and you’ll need a pasta recipe book because of it but I am a kitchen gadget afficianado and this is a great one. I had the Kitchenaid pasta making set and just never used it so much because it was more trouble.I did season the base and middle rod of this with oil and wiped off so that they are non-stick.

Does what it shouldThis rack works perfectly. My only tiny issue is the fact that it is make from $1.50 worth of wood. It comes apart quickly and packs away in a small space. It hold quite a bit of pasta for drying. And if something were to end up breaking would be very easy to buy another small dowel to fix it.

Love it!When I first got this a year ago I was skeptical because of it being wood. However it has held up beautifully. Super easy to clean and put together and take apart. Being able to take it apart allows me to store it out of the way. Holds a lot more noodles too than I thought and we are a growing family of 8, so a lot of homemade noodles are done.
