Do you keep a drying rack or mat by the sink?

| I think it's ugly but DH insists on it. Especially since our sink is in the island. I grew up without one and we (my mom) survived just fine. |

| We do. If you hand wash something where would you put it without one? |

| Ours is collapsible and lives in the cabinet under the sink. We bring it out when needed, and then tuck it away. |

| Rack. Use it every day. |

| We have a mat that we use. When the dishes are dry, we roll it up & stick it in a drawer. Pretty easy & functional for our small kitchen. |

We have ridges built into the countertop that drain into the sink.

Another one with a mat. It is the same color as the counter top so it blends in and we tend to leave it out most of the time. |

| I took care to choose something that would go with my countertop. |

| Couldn't live without a drying rack. Don't understand how people do. |

| I don't. I set the few things washed by hand on the counter. I don't like stuff on the counter. |

| I lay out a dish towel to dry pots and pans, etc. I prefer that so I can fold it up when not in use rather than have a big rack out all the time. |

| Our ugly plastic rack is out all the time. I don't really see it anymore myself, but now that I think of it, it probably is a huge eyesore. But we do need it! Life's too short to spend time hand drying, IMHO. |

| I loathe hand drying, so we always have a rack out. |

| Racks look so ugly, and clutter the counter. I barely hand wash anything though, most everything goes in the dishwasher. |
