Here's a great high-tech solution to the age-old problem of drying dishes. The Dry Dock is a 3-layer drying mat that combines a proprietary, honeycomb-mesh surface with thick, absorbent foam, and an anti-microbial, microfiber pad, to ensure fast, hygenic drying of your large pots and pans, delicate crystal, fine cutlery, wood cutting boards and more. It speeds drying, leaves your counter drip-free and lets you say goodbye to musty dishtowels. The Dry Dock is 5 times more absorbent than cotton towels and it dries quickly; just hang it over your oven handle or on a hook with it's attached hanging loop. It folds to stow neatly in a drawer and opens up to provide a 14" x 21" drying surface. It's terrific if you wash dishes by hand and makes a great companion to a dishwasher.
