Kitchen amenity daughter found on coach? Not initially (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drainer

'kitchen amenity' is the definition.
(item used in the kitchen)

'daughter found on coach? not initially' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'found on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'coach?' becomes 'trainer' (as in a sports coach).
'not initially' means to remove the first letter.
'trainer' with its initial letter taken off is 'rainer'.
'd'+'rainer'='DRAINER'

(Other definitions for drainer that I've seen before include "Where crockery dries" , "Rack by a sink for letting crockery dry" , "Rack for wet crockery" , "one drying out?" , "drying device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
