Thing 16: A Bottle-brush for Drying Wineglasses
Washing wineglasses by hand is a pain, and there's no way around that. But drying wineglasses is a pain, and there IS a solution to that. Drying wineglasses is hard because you have to choose between forcing a tea-towel to the bottom of the glass to dry it, or leaving it out to air-dry for hours. This could be simply solved by a thing like a bottlebrush, with the brush made out of strips of tea-towel. It does fall into the dreaded "single-use tool" category, though, and I'm not sure there's any way around THAT either.

My mom always stored her wine glasses hanging, so you'd wash them and then hang them and they'd just drip dry hanging up. Worked like a charm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but then you gotta have enough kitchen space to hang and leave 'em hanging. Space is the main problem with the drip/air dry solution.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, I didn't even think of that. Our kitchen was just always set up that way when I was little, and now she has a winerack in her living room that has a glasses hanging area.
