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

 Great Pasta Drying Rack October 20, 2008
Jane E. Sohmer (Plano, TX)
This pasta drying rack is simple and very functional. I find its holding capacity equals the yield of an average batch of pasta, enough for about 4-6 servings. I think if I were entertaining and doubling my recipe I could probably squeeze it all on without much trouble. To store the rack, remove the dowels and lay them all together. You will need storage space enough for the base, about 8 inches, and for the dowels, about 18 inches. I store it all in my baking cabinet under my island countertop. If you are like me, maybe you have been hanging your noodles/pasta anywhere you can find a place. ha ha :) - that works okay but it's really great to finally have a rack and for the price you really can't go wrong!
Great Drying Rack August 4, 2008
Nicole Lewis (North Pole, Alaska)
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!
A must Have August 3, 2008

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.
Simple idea that works great July 27, 2008

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.
 Great space-saving solution June 11, 2008
Dr. Hivlickson (Seattle)
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 out when removing the pasta, but I found that to be good because I just slip a wooden spoon handle under the pasta and slide the dowel out for easier removal of the dried pasta from the stand.
I love this dryer.... inexpensive and very useful....and much better than propping sticks between the backs of chairs.
