Abstract: A drying appliance may include a support frame, a planar drying rack and an absorbent tray. The support frame may include a first rectangular end and a second rectangular end, each of which may include a top rail, a bottom rail, a first side rail and a second side rail. Lower lateral rails and upper later rails may connect the first rectangular end to the second rectangular end. A planar drying rack may be disposed between the upper lateral rails and the lower lateral rails. An upper interior volume may be defined by a top surface of the planar drying rack, inner edges of the upper lateral rails and upper edges of the top rails of the first rectangular end and the second rectangular end. The planar drying rack may be free of upwardly extending projections within the upper interior volume.

Abstract: In some implementations, a holder includes a cup having a generally frustoconical shape and an annular bottom opening and a removable bottom portion having a base and a seal. The seal may be configured to be releasably secured in the annular bottom opening via a friction fit, and the base may include diatomaceous earth.

Abstract: A drying implement may include a first portion having a diatomaceous earth slab and a resilient slab covering, and a second portion that is coupled to the first panel. The resilient slab covering may include a mesh of openings that allow water from an article placed on the resilient slab covering to drip through the mesh of openings, onto the diatomaceous earth slab. The second panel may include a plurality of cross pieces that are overmolded with a resilient second covering.

Abstract: In some implementations, a caddy includes an absorbent slab and a base. The absorbent slab may be characterized by a top slab surface, a bottom slab surface, and a thickness. The absorbent slab may include diatomaceous earth and may have an aperture that extends from the bottom slab surface into the thickness. The base may be characterized by a length and a width and may include a top base surface and a bottom base surface, a first support rail and a second support rail, a first end support rail and a second end support rail, a retention nub that extends away from the top base surface, and a plurality of feet that extend away from the bottom base surface.

Abstract: A drying appliance may include a drying rack and a rapidly drying absorptive drain tray assembly. Some embodiments may include adaptable and interchangeable accessories for selectable placement and scaling of the size, amount and placement of features for managing the capacity and location of the drying accessories. The drain tray may include an absorptive base. The absorptive base may wick, absorb, and evaporate water away from the drying kitchenware to lower relative humidity and to prevent mold and bacteria from growing thereon. The drying rack may include a built-in cutting board holder that provides extra space for pots, pans, and bowls. The legs of the drying rack can support the absorptive drain tray above the surface of a counter allowing for 360-degree evaporation.
