Joseph Joseph Surface Stainless Steel Cutlery Drainer

Like the way you can stand it on the worktop as it has its own draining tray. Stainless steel looks very smart.

I never expected to find anything so good. This cutlery drainer is very pleasing looking and drains easily. I have only one thing to point out which is that teaspoons and any smaller items have to go in a particular section as otherwise they slip down. Yoy soon learn!

The plastic inset on the top of this product lets it down badly. There are 4 sections. At one end there is a shallow self-contained section for teaspoons and other short items, which works as intended. The remaining 3 sections are full depth but the grey plastic dividers between these sections is only 33mm deep leaving a large void below. This means that longer pieces of cutlery, such as knives, etc, tend to lie over at an angle thus minimising capacity. Had these dividers been slightly deeper this product would have been perfect.

It looks very nice, has a good capacity and could be excellent but for a major design flaw. One wonders why the manufacturer did not test this product? As mentioned by "Fred" the insert has dividers which fail to reach down far enough to stop cutlery slipping under and ending up lying along the bottom of the drainer and hard to retrieve. I have sorted this by gluing two strips of plastic to equal the depth of the small item drainer which has proved successful without any obvious drawbacks. So for the sake of just a little more plastic they could have had an excellent piece of equipment.

The only part that works is the small teaspoon section that has a base with holes that you so obviously need for drainage. The rest of the cutlery stands unhygeinically in its own run-off. Bizarre.
