Abstract

A dish rack includes a base rack of a wire framework and at least one rack side element that is releasably connected to the base rack and, as seen by a user who is loading the dish rack with items which are to be washed, is fitted laterally thereto. A cutlery-accommodating device is integrated in the rack side element to produce an integral dish rack the allows, on one hand, the straightforward construction of the base rack—preferably in the form of a U—and, on the other hand, the releasable fastening of the rack side element to an integrated cutlery-accommodating device.
