At The Kitchn, we're all about reusing and reducing waste. This plastic bag dryer helps us be more efficient about reusing our plastic storage bags as it makes drying them a snap.
Good Product: Plastic Bag Dryer
Having a countertop bag dryer helps washed bags dry faster, and keeps them from taking up space in the dishrack. Plus, the dryer is compact in size, so it's easy to store when not in use.
Get it at Gaiam for $19.

That is such a waste of the wood it is made of. Pencils in a cup would do the same thing.

I think this is a good idea, but I read a suggestion somewhere that you can put chopsticks in a glass for the same purpose. I just turn mine inside out and they stand on their own on a towel.

Chopsticks work beautifully for this. I usually just put them in the flatware cup on the dish rack to accomplish the same thing. Or, if it's a big 1 gallon bag I hang it on the end of wooden spoon propped in the same cup.

I just use my utensil holder, hanging bags on spoons and whisks, no need for one more gadget to clutter up my kitchen.

I think the pencils or chopsticks would all fall one side of the cup.
I think the bag dryer is cool!

I actually just posted this rack and a couple DIY options on our site: http://greenupgrader.com/1228/diy-green/reuse-your-plastic-sandwich-bags/
Then I found this post and love the ideas in the comments. Clearly the easiest thing would be Lynne F or Classiccooks ideas. Something for everyone!

The first thing I thought of was chopsticks, although of course any of the other ideas would work just as well. Just arrange them crossways so they don't all end up on one side.
