is also a small beaker that collects water as well as other “goodies” while in the dishwasher. i have to empty the gunk out and re-wash the bottom. today was the last time. i took it out in the garage and drilled four tiny holes all around the bottom, so any water that ends up in there can drain out.
hopefully the next time i reach into the dishwasher to take out my “the perfect beaker” the bottom will be empty and dry.
