A drying apparatus has a casing, a cavity formed in the casing for receiving an object, a fan located in the casing and creating an airflow, and at least one slot-like opening communicating with the fan and arranged in the casing so as to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity. The slot-like opening is formed between opposing walls so that one of the walls terminates substantially flush with the casing and the other wall protrudes beyond the casing. The slot-like opening may be formed between an upper wall and a lower wall, the lower wall may terminate substantially flush with the casing and the upper wall protrudes beyond the casing, reducing the effect of the air causing the user'"'"'s hands to be pulled or sucked towards the slot-like openings but eliminating any protrusion of the walls of the slot-like opening on one side.
