drainboards
Dish drying surfaces
Drainboards are the ridged surfaces beside a kitchen sink where washed dishes rest while water drips off them.
The grooves channel water back into the sink.
Most are built into the countertop or sink unit, though some are separate racks: Stack the pots on the drainboard to dry.
