sink strainer

Basin debris filter

A sink strainer is a perforated metal or plastic basket that fits into a drain opening to catch food scraps and debris while allowing water to flow through.

Most kitchen sinks have one; bathroom sinks typically use simpler stoppers.

Clean out the sink strainer before it clogs.
