This may be of interest to someone £4.99, add P+P if delivered.

We've just bought one, fits our sink perfectly. With handles and a drain hole with sturdy twisty plug which we weren't expecting.

Thanks for that reckless I will pop down to the local shop and see if its available.

Scratch that - I have it being delivered.
 
We bought a collapsible draining board thing from the Range recently. It fits in the sink with the lid down when we are travelling.

I thought draining boards were flat all the time ? :giggle:

We've got a collapsible bucket. Convenient and works pretty well. Except if the ground is even a slightly slanted or uneven, it spontaneously collapses at the point it's nearly full and dumps grey water all over your feet.
 
My collapsible bowl split and covered my feet in very hot water as I took it to the drain. Haven’t replaced it. Also have a collapsible drainer but that hasn’t been out of the cupboard for the last couple of trips. An Addis plastic draining board works just as well and is much easier to clean.
 
I think most collapsible utensils, buckets, bowls, colanders etc are either crap or I’m very unlucky, every one I’ve owned, and there are several, has ‘collapsed’ and made it unusable. I keep buying them though :unsure: why’s that then?

We are on our second collapsible bucket. The first did not split or collapse but being used for waste water, over time it became uncleanable. The outside staff have now been given a large roll of kitchen paper and instructions on drying.
 
I must abuse them then maybe ;)

It seems sturdy enough. We mainly want it to keep all the bits and pieces (cloth, sponge, gloves etc) out of the way when we're on site or on the move. Sling it all in, worktop down, job done. I've never used a collapsible anything so can't predict how it will behave but I'm not sure we'll be using the drain function. If that breaks the bowl will be useless :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Hi reckless, would you mind putting out the measurements of your sink space to see if this would actually go under our fold down glass top In a PVC. The bowl measurements on the website I guess are the maximum and therefore it may well fit in our narrower sink the bowl tapers with a smaller base. Thanks in anticipation. Roy
 
Just to clarify matters the draining board thing we bought enables us to stand the plates on there edge to drain. It also has compartments to stand the knifes and forks in. As it was before we nearly lost a plate and a couple of cups as they slid into the sink from the normal draining board alongside the sink.

I've found the same however we have a folding stool/step so turn that upside down and sit the bucket inside which then gives it rigidity and prevents it from collapsing, similar to the items below.

We have a collapsible drainer like the below, it works very well and hasn't ever collapsed no matter how much I've piled in it including having a pressure cooker inverted on top of it all! I don't use the grid section meant for cutlery so have removed that to allow more room for pots and instead have a small cutlery drainer with a removable base which catches the water.

Looks like another gadget that needs to be purchased. Thanks... ::bigsmile:

At least this one is useful! :giggle: In addition I have a tray which the drainer sits nicely on, the water is kept captive so I can mop it up and/or pour it away after washing up - I don't dry the pots just leave them to do so naturally so using a tray means that I can move it all out of the way if I want to use the hob (that's where it sits when I'm washing up). The whole lot slots into a cupboard when not in use.
 
Where can one get collapsible servants? Asking for a friend.

Do they do there’s collapsable bowls in round shape?😉
 
Washing up bowls ... I always get rigid ones that will fit in my sink with the lid on, that way I don't have to store the bowl elsewhere, so I am curious why those who can do the same choose to have a 'folding' one rather than a rigid one?
 
I sell a similar one that has a sealable plug hole with plug. It's great as the plug hole can be used as a filter to keep food waste out of the van plug hole and tank.

I couldn't find a rigid one that was shallow enough yet still a sensible size
