Following our discussion about dinner services,
I wonder if anyone on list has come across this problem.
I make platters, not plates.
They nest together in a stack.
BUT when washing them up, they do not fit into the normal plastic or wood
draining rack, because those contraptions are really made for plates with
rims in the same plane direction as the main part of the plate. Those racks
are not designed for platters.
So my platters just lie down all over the place to drain, instead of taking
up less space and looking neat and vertical in a rack.
Any answers to that problem?

I still work about 50% in wood (locally felled, air dried native timber, for
as long as I can get it...) - how do you fancy a joint venture selling racks
to go with your plates?
contact me off line... I sense some collaboration in the air.

PS - do you really want them looking neat and vertical?

Rest the platters diagonally against an upside down bowl
on the sink to drain after washing & then teatowel dry them
when the washup is finished.

Hi Martin,
Why not design and sell racks for platters - what could be simpler?
