Original, convenient, versatile - all these epithets are applicable to a knife stand with this or that filler, which has recently become quite popular.
This way to hold the knives and collect them in one place is simple and brilliant at the same time. Such supports contain a lot of cutting kitchen appliances, and their additional advantage is absolute hygiene, which can not be said about other versions of the stands.
The device of supports for knives with filler
As a rule, such knife stands are represented by plastic containers, inside of which there is a silicone, graphite-rubber or polypropylene filler without any slots and slots. And it is thanks to this that you can stick as many knives in any order into the stand.
In a compact stand measuring 21x7 cm during the experiment, it was possible to place 65 knives. At the same time its silicone villi firmly and reliably kept all the blades. Of course, it was just an experiment, and in everyday life in a stand it is convenient to store up to 6-7 knives at the same time.
The hygiene mentioned above is an important advantage of such supports. In the synthetic medium of the filler, fungi, black mold and other unpleasant microorganisms will be slower and more reluctant to start and develop. In comparison with wooden stands it is a huge plus.
If the sponge needs to be washed, it can be easily removed from the plastic casing. The body itself is also well suited for washing. The surface of the body is usually slightly rough, which prevents its sliding in the hands.
Advantages of the stand for knives with filler
Unlike a traditional wooden stand, a stand with a filler can be used immediately after washing the knife without having to wipe it dry. We all know that the grooves in the wooden stands from the dampness are deformed, and the stand itself acquires a characteristic smell of dampness.
The plastic stand and its synthetic filler are absolutely not afraid of moisture, therefore they are more durable and hygienic. They are easy to care for, they are not deformed, they are simple in operation, they are more spacious - and this is not the whole list of their positive characteristics and distinctive features.
Among them, you can still name a large assortment of colors, which is also important, given the current desire of people to achieve interior harmony in every detail.
