The 8 Degree double-basin sink from Kohler comes with a drying rack that sits on a beveled edge, keeping fragile glassware a safe distance from your food-prep surface. The base of the sink also tapers outward, which helps to reduce splashing and provides more room for long items such as cookie sheets without having to sacrifice counter space. ($1200; kohler.com)
