This sink and the surrounding counter space is chilled to a bit above the freezing temperature of water. As a result dishes left in or by the sink don't start to stink and collect enough water through condensation to be easier to wash once you get around to them.-- Voice, Jun 23 2022 Would freezing water to a dish, then breaking the ice off, remove all residues etc? Might need a (nanoscale?) hydrophobic surface treatment.-- neutrinos_shadow, Jun 26 2022 random, halfbakery
