A dish rack for accommodating dishes, particularly in a household dishwasher, includes a dish rack base having a rake-like retaining configuration with prongs. At least part of the rake-like retaining configuration is pivotable between different pivot positions. Some of the prongs have angled ends directed toward or adjacent the dish-rack base, the angled ends forming a set-down surface for dishes, in particular, hollow dishes such as glasses, vases, cups, and bowls, when the retaining configuration is pivoted.
