A kitchen device for resting on a counter top and pitching a drain board supported thereon into a sink in the counter top that includes a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, and, a rear wall. The bottom wall includes a plurality of slats for supporting the drain board on a depending incline towards the sink, and which are spaced-apart from each other for providing drainage for leaks from the drain board. Each terminal end of each slot is formed into a tenon. Each side wall is generally right-triangular-shaped, and as a result thereof, has a leg for resting horizontally on the counter top, a base that extends vertically upwardly from the leg, a hypothenuse that depends inclined from the base forwardly to thevertex, an interior surface that faces the other side wall, and an exterior surface for facing the ambient. The interior surface of each side wall has a plurality of blind mortises that are disposed in line with each other, below, and parallel to, the hypotenuse. The vertex of each side wall is rounded and depends into a recess in the leg for engaging the rim of the sink so as to provide a stop for preventing the kitchen device from sliding into the sink. The tenon on one terminal end of each slot is received in an associated blind mortise in the interior surface of one side wall, while the tenon on the other terminal end of each slot is received in an associated blind mortise in the interior surface of the other side wall.
