The New Dish-Drying Pad

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:29:00 -0500

Something went wrong with the "brilliant new kitchen tool" post of yesterday. For one thing, I have lost vision in my right eye and didn't see the typographical error in the title. Then,the photo turned sideways. The Original Dish Drying Pad is a very cool tool for drying big items that you have hand-washed, like pots, on your counter. I'll try to get the photo straightened out...here it is, and remember to have a look at the venerable Schroeder & Tremayne company's other wonderfully useful products while at their modest website.
