This document describes a new draining bowl invention that consists of two parts - a strainer bowl that drains excess liquid into a second collection bowl below. The draining bowl is designed to solve the problem of too much liquid getting trapped in a bowl by allowing it to drain through the strainer into the lower collection bowl. The prototype is made of two machine washable parts that can be separated, and is intended to be used for draining salads, soups, cereals, pasta dishes and vegetables.
