No idea about the knives, but a huge non-US innovation is a drying rack. Wash the dishes, let them dry, put them away when you have time. If I had to dry them with a rag, I think my opinion would be different.

What do you mean by "non-US innovation"? I'm in the US and use a drying rack. I can't think of anyone I know in the US who doesn't use a drying rack.

People with dishwashers. Oh, wait... there's a drying rack inside the dishwasher!

[FroshKiller]

I mean I am also a person with a dishwasher....

I don't! I wash, rinse and stack items so they are exposed to the air. They begin to dry right away.

Maybe different parts of the country? I’d never seen one until I left the US.
