wiki/Maiju_Gebhard

Maiju Gebhard (September 15, 1896, in Helsinki – July 18, 1986, in Helsinki) was a Finnish inventor who invented the dish drying cabinet as the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in 1944 and 1945. She was the only child of economist Hannes Gebhard and politician Hedvig Gebhard.

I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.

It’s nice to look out while you are washing the dishes.

It's the double sink that gets me. I've lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.

This is the way. Double sinks suck. With this you have a double when you need, but can also waeh big things like oven sheets.

Except it won't look so pretty and also I can't imagine using the dispensers without taking them out of that thing unless it's VERY rigid.

My mother in law has one of those and I hate it, its all wobbly and just holds way too many dishes so they end up living there basically.

I need something like this for my pots and pans because keeping them in the cupboards is too chaotic.

I want it. Where do I get it?

Wayfair. $72. 4.8 stars. They have other similar items that are cheaper.

You think my ADHD ass is ever unloading a drying rack? The dishes would just live there and I’d always be cramming new ones into it.

If only we had some technology that could dry a dish immediately and didn’t take up tons of space or grow mold… like some kind of flexible, absorbent material that sucks up the water? We should have NASA work on it
