Default simple, but stupid

New kitchen, new sink. the strainer will stop water draining, but to
allow water out, you have to lift it up and instead of the water
draing thru the 'strainer' holes, it goes around the edges, defeating
the purpose of the strainer.


Is it that old fashioned kind where you pick up the middle
handle/stem part and give the thing a quarter turn? I guess
it lifts up the rubber ring for water to drain, yet doesn't create
a gap for food to go down.

If I'm being as clear as mud it's because I haven't used that
type in a really long time. That's how I remember they worked.
