Food stuck in your sink drainer is a gross part of kitchen life.
Whether you use a dishwasher or hand wash your dishes, food scraps need to be dealt with, and unfortunately, gunk often ends up sitting in your sink.
As we all know, food from the sink is the number one cause of blockages, so the more you keep food away from your kitchen drain, the better.
How to stop food going down the drain
That’s where HDYA’s sink drainer basket comes in.
The basket attaches to the side of your sink. As you rinse your plates, the basket catches any food scraps. There are holes in the bottom of the basket to let the water run through. However, some reviewers say they are tiny and draining can be slow.
Once your basket is full, empty it into your compost!
And voila! You’ve just stopped more food slop from going down your sink.
Most of the reviews are positive. Some people say the basket doesn’t fit their sink, so we recommend checking the measurements before buying.
“This does the good well enough for us. It fits perfectly in our double sink. It could drain better, though. To be fair, I could potentially scrape off more food before draining into the tray,” said one reviewer.
Another added: “Such a smart, simple product. I rinse everything into the basket and saves me having to dig it out of the drain. Love it!”
If you have a single sink, then you might like this swan basket instead, that attaches to your sink tap.
