My homemade noodle drying rack....pics

I started making our own noodles and never had enough room...tables were always filled with sheets of noodles, then strings of noodles, and there was never enough counter space or tables for them to dry, and it seemed like they took forever to dry laying flat...so I came up with a solution! It's not perfection, but it was quick, cost me about $2.50 in wood, string I had in the garage, and screws that were just laying around. The legs fold up beside itself so it can be stored flat or against a wall. Like I said, it's not perfection, but it allowed me to still have sheets of noodles underneath of it so I could work more efficiently! I just thought I'd post some pics in case anyone else out there has had this same problem and is looking for a solution



It's 3 ft. long by 1.5 wide by 1.5 high. I marked my string lines only 1.5 inches apart and just used a hand saw to make the slits for the string. It took about 30 minutes from start to finish. I noticed when I strung the string that I pulled it really tight and bowed the boards in just a little, but like I said, this was just a quick fix--for now

wow fantastic!


hope its okay,, can i steal your fantastic idear? what a great way to make fun, with kids! I may be starting something. much thanks!
perhaps you should go "public" ha $$$$$$

great idea! I might have to make one and get out the pasta machine

post another line on the gotta make me one list!
...gets the mental wheels churning....an old frame might work too...hummm.

Gr8 Idea..Thanks for sharing. I love fresh noodles

a wooden clothes drying rack works well too..but cost much more..

Hi,

THAT is a GREAT idea! I struggled with the same problem and I came up with using plastic hangers (as pictured below), but your idea is much more practical and effective (can dry lots more noodles).



I will have to work on that! Thanks! Genie

What a great idea!!! Looks wonderful! Enjoy your noodle making!! Yum!

You are just a little noodle makin' machine! Great idea! We are the mothers/fathers of invention still!

Chicks4kids....would you mind sharing your recipe for noodles...do you roll them with a pin or use a pasta roller?? Thanks so much...I was planning on making soup tonight and noodles would ba great to add in...and your drying rack..BRAVO!!
