Hands down the best drying rack I've ever had. I've had drying mats, towels, and those cluncky plastic racks and this one takes the cake. I can roll it a ways across my sink to fit several items or roll it to fit just a couple of things. It's easy to...

The angled interior lets you read the measurement from above while you pour, so you're not squatting down to check the side of the cup constantly. OXO basically fixed measuring cups and I'm surprised it took me so long to switch.
