Perfect for drying homemade pasta this rack allows you to make a large batch of pasta and dry the unused portion for another day. The arms of this beechwood rack are perfectly spaced to allow the strands of pasta to dry off individually. When drying pasta the goal is to promote an even circulation of air around the pasta as it dries, ensuring that it dries all the way through so that it will not deteriorate while in storage. Because pasta dough normally contains egg, it is important for the finished pasta to dry completely before you store it. After use wipe the rack clean with a damp cloth, then leave to dry. The rack is easy to take apart for storage. Approx size; 27.5 centimeter / 10.8" tall
