OXO Good Grips Silicone Stemware Drying Mat, Gray

I purchased this to drain and dry my stemware since sometimes I'm too lazy to dry them right away. I let them sit for a little while then wipe them down with a microfiber towel before I put them away.The grooves in the mat are perfect for water drainage so it doesn't pool at the base of the glasses.It's made of durable silicone which should last years. It is small in size, so it doesn't take up too much space beside my sink. I store it underneath my sink just because I don't like keeping a lot of things on my counter, but it could easily be left out since it looks nice enough.To wash it, I just lay it on its side on the bottom of rack of my dishwasher and it cleans well.I'm really happy with this purchase and I use it often. I prefer it to my quick-drying mat that I'd been using.

I've had this mat as well as the other size for two years and it's durable and useful, one of my favorite products. I toss them in the dishwasher once a week without issue. It blends perfectly with my granite countertops and the ridges hold dish edges well. The other purpose of these mats for me is odd - sound reduction. I'm clumsy and sound sensitive in the morning and setting things on countertops clanks miserably without too much effort. I keep the smaller version in front of my coffeepot to set my mug and the heavy glass milk jar on to make my latte. Crumbs do get caught in the channels if it is used for other things, but rinse out easily. I love this mat so much I felt I had to write a review when looking for a cutting mat.

Ordered for the purpose of putting underneath the planters we have on our kitchen windowsills (interior, not exterior) and it is the perfect solution. The larger sizes are also great for other kitchen uses, like draining/drying dishes on the countertop or temporarily lining the bottom of the sink for more delicate glassware that requires hand washing.

I got this OXO specifically to place under my mini single serve Keurig coffee maker - just in case the machine leaks - I've heard random situations about this - and so this mat will catch most of not all of the water and make clean up simpler. My only recommendation is to make the mat slightly higher to allow more volume of liquids to be held - and would give it 5 stars.

since I use a dishwasher, I don't have enough dishes to get a dish rack, so this is perfect for a couple of glasses and a bowl for example

We have multiple of these mats in our house because they are so useful for air-drying items while protecting surfaces. They are thick and well made, and are easily cleaned in the dishwasher.One use which isn't highlighted in the description is that these are very useful next to the bathroom sink for drying out shavers and Waterpiks. It's so much easier to let things dry on this mat than trying to wipe everything dry immediately or making sure that the water doesn't damage the counter or start a mold colony. Then just like the kitchen mat, this goes into the dishwasher regularly to wash off any residue.

We have two of these mats. One is next to the baby feeding area, and we use to set up clean bottles/nipples for the day. Also the bottle warmer sits at the end and the tray acts as a splash drip catcher, when taking the warm wet bottle out. The second mat is next the sink and has bottles and glasses for cleaning. We fill used bottles up with water to soak them (invert nipple into top to soak it also)and then clean in batches. 6 Nuk bottles can fit in a row with nipples and caps ready. We also take one of the mats for road trips for drying bottles overnight, it wraps perfectly around the formula canister in the big diaper bag.Another use is in front of (if you have an island) or next to the refrigerator, to act as a drip/spill catcher when pouring drinks, or for setting hot items to cool before setting it in the fridge.(We bought the OXO Good Grips Square Silicone Drying Mat for this use)

For years we'd just been using a spare hand towel spread on the counter as a drying mat for hand washables. I got fed up with that and looked around and these fit the bill perfectly.They can be easily hand washed or just thrown on the top rack for cleaning. Springy enough to protect a wine glass if it gets tipped but firm enough to stand up baby bottles without trouble.They were a little narrow for our counter so we just bought two and they sit next to each other without a gap, but if not in use they can stack now and take up less space, neat!
