I never liked the standard dish drainers that fit down in the sink-too
small etc. I bought those white plastic Rubbermaid bins that stack and
have solid bottoms but square checkerboard air holes on the sides. I use
a smaller one for the silverwear utensils and a larger one for plates
pots etc and then a long narrow one stacks on one side of the top for my
little bowls glasses etc. I drilled drainage holes in the long narrow
one and I placed a stainless steel rack down in the bottom of the large
one to elevate everything above any collected water. You have to be
there :-)

I have seen those cushiony absorbent pads and they might come in handy
after a party when you have an overabundance of glasses etc and no room
in your regular drainer and want to just use countertop space.

Of course, if you have a dishwasher I can't see needing it unless
washing fine china by hand.
