Our extra large home kitchen stainless steel drainboard is
USA Amish made. Tired of those flimsy plastic drainboards? This stainless steel drainboard will hold heaps
of dishes, large pots, pans and cooking utensils.
Our popular standard home kitchen sink stainless steel
drainboard is used by single or empty nest couples who don’t routinely have
enough dishes to run a dishwasher. Drainboards are a basic necessity for those
living in homes without dishwashers, or for off-grid kitchens.
These old fashioned drainboards could be found in most home
kitchens at the turn of the century before electricity was made available to
the common household. Families large and
small would hand washed dishes and other cooking utensils and then stacked them
up on dish drying racks to air dry.
Without a drainboard to catch the water droplets under the
dish racks water ran out and over the counter top and down the cabinet fronts
and out on to the floor.
Many homes were equipped with kitchen sinks with a built in
drain board, others relied on a slanted drain board like these to catch the droplets
and channel the water back into the kitchen sink.
Over the years drainboard manufactures have cut corners to
save money ending up with smaller flat plastic drainboards. The plastic drainboards sit flat on the
kitchen counter with no slope to drain back into the kitchen sink. They are
also not very attractive often sold with a plastic dish drainer rack that will
only hold a small amount of dishes at a time.
Our Amish drainboards are not something that you will want
to stuff under the kitchen sink when company comes. In fact your company will
likely enjoy helping to cleanup during the holidays and then ask where they can
also find one for their home.
This
stainless steel will fit at home in stainless steel kitchens and our decorator
drain boards will fit at home in kitchens with black appliances.
The Amish who still live as people did at the turn of the
century, living off grid with no dishwashers preparing meals daily for large
families. Like many of our products, we
find them being made deep in the Amish communities and bring them to the
general public via our online back-to-basics general store.
Stainless steel drainboards are one of our most popular
functional use products that we sell. We
offer them in either a closed back, with a back lip or an open back without the
back lip. The open back is a bit cheaper
to make so we pass on the savings to our customers. Those who might need to also use the drain
board to spray off dishes or to double as another prep area will appreciate the
back lip when spraying off vegetables as well as flat ware.
With the popularity of these drainboards for close to a decade
now we have also been asked to make and offer a decorator series drainboard for
granite counter tops. These powder
coated drainboards are available in cooper vane or black granite.
We also make stainless steel drainboards in custom sizes to fit a variety of different applications from larger to smaller, side drain to small commercial and food truck users.

back-to-basics general store offering old fashioned functional use items that

store of old fashioned products is like taking a trip back in time.
