A device for supporting objects for drying containing a catch basin, for receiving fluid that drips off of these drying objects. Attached to the catch basin is a first adjustable rack, having a front end and a back end. The back end of the first adjustable rack is rotatably supported within the catch basin. In addition, attached to the back end of the first adjustable rack is a second adjustable rack. This second adjustable rack is rotatably attached to the first adjustable rack and extends in a substantially upright or vertical position. The second adjustable rack is rotatably attached to the first adjustable rack and is for supporting the objects for drying. Both the first adjustable rack and the second adjustable rack are comprised of a series of parallel extending bars that are spaced apart from each other to receive a plate between these parallel extending bars. These parallel extending bars are also designed to support a series of pots on either the first adjustable rack or the second adjustable rack wherein these parallel extending bars allow water to drip down through the bars and into the catch basin. In addition there is also an adjustable tray disposed adjacent to the adjustable racks wherein the adjustable tray is designed to support kitchen utensils and silverware in an upright manner for drying. The device can also be collapsed to allow this device to be folded up to stand freely upright on a substantially horizontal surface.
