The Patagonia is a large capacity 3-tier dish rack made of high quality stainless steel. Unlike our self draining Rohan dish drainer, which needs to be placed next to the sink, this unit can be placed anywhere on the counter since it uses a drain tray to catch water. The drain tray can be easily slid out from under the frame to discard the water. The Patagonia, with its 3 rack shelves is rather tall and will not fit in the space under cabinets. The Patagonia dish drainer comes with two sturdy end frames made of rectangular stainless steel tubing. The plate rack is the top most one and takes plates, pots and pans. On its bottom side, it has a built-in wire rack for hanging wine glasses. The middle and bottom racks can be used for tumblers, bowls and pretty much anything you would like to have dried. The Patagonia rack includes the Palena utensil tray. A guard rail is available as an optional add-on. The racks have a raised lip all around which will prevent things from sliding off under normal use. The Patagonia 3-tier rack can be placed inside a standard 24 inch cabinet to create an in-cabinet plate and dish rack on to which you can transfer items after a few minutes of draining on your counter top dish drainer. Used in this manner, it helps clear space on your counter top dish rack.
