Rubber splash
guard fingers
trapping air inside
the chamber.
When the rubber splash guard is new, air can become trapped within the
chamber preventing water from draining quickly. Pushing food through the
rubber splash guard will release the air and the water will drain. Over time,
the splash guard fingers will soften and flex, holding back less air and aiding
drainage.
