Does anyone know if there are drainage holes in the bottom of this little caddy? A woman was wondering if it would work as a dish drying rack. She is alone and needs something small. I don't have it... thanks!
 
No drainage holes but it's not one piece since it's expandable.

thanks! I did not think that it would. Just making sure.
 
Holy smokes batman...I live alone too and I could never use that for a dish drainer. She's doing something great to use something that small (or she doesn't cook much). Either way, a wahoo for her!
 
Hi there! I am also a Pampered Chef consultant and I can confirm that the little caddy does have drainage holes in the bottom. It would definitely work as a dish drying rack for someone who is living alone and needs something compact. I highly recommend it! Let me know if you have any other questions.
