These parallel extending bars are also designed to support a series of pots on either the first adjustable rack, or the second adjustable rack, wherein these parallel extending bars allow water to drip down through the bars and into the catch basin. In addition, there is also an adjustable tray, disposed adjacent to the adjustable racks, wherein the adjustable tray is designed to support kitchen utensils and silverware in an upright manner for drying.
