Product Description: Ideal for drying fresh pasta. 8 spindles. Wood
Amazon.com Review: 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

Rating: - Great Drying Rack
I receieved this as a gift back in June. I've used it many times since then and love it! It is so much better than my old drying rack. This one disassembles and stores easily. Also, it doesn't take much counter space which is always a plus!
Rating: - A must Have
If you make your own Pasta, You need the drying Rack. I started out just making the pasta Sheets and laying it out on the counter until I was ready to cut my Pasta, Trust me, This method takes up ALLOT of Space. The NorPro Pasta Rack makes life So much simpler, and takes up allot less space. Make your Pasta and Hang it until you are ready to cut it, Than you can hang your cut sheets to Dry if needed. if you are handy, It still wouldn't pay to build your own due to the price of this one. it's just a Simple Well thought out tool that dosen't require a Second Mortgage on the Home.

I got this drying rack when I got the Kitchen Aid pasta roller attachment for my mixer. The rack is inexpensive, works well, and comes apart easily for storage. What more could I ask for? I only make enough pasta for 4 to 6 people at a time. If you make large quantities, you might want a drying rack with more arms.

I love the mind that figured this one out. There's plenty of pasta-hanging area in a small space. Also, I love that I can take the whole thing apart and put it back in the box and keep it where I keep trays...easy storage.
I did, however, get one that only had three holes drilled in it, rather than the four that it's supposed to have. For the price I can drill the fourth hole....I just have to get the right angle. I didn't return it because I was making pasta and wanted to use it right away.
As another reviewer stated, the holes for the dowels are a little sloppy so the dowels slide ... Read More
Rating: - I replaced it :-(
The dowels did not fit firmly in the holes, so that they would slide when I was taking pasta on and off. Also, it does not store well, if one takes the dowels out, you need a rubber band or something to attach them to the post so you don't loose them. I'm afraid I got rid of it and replaced it with one of the ones where all the (plastic) arms spiral out, and the tripod feet retract in straight -- and that has tucked into the center pole a really handy rod for hanging and unhanging the noodles, which I find surprisingly useful.
However, if you were thinking about getting it, and storage ... Read More
