To drain means to get rid of excess moisture - it's also the name of a kitchen tool made for this purpose, which is a metal bowl with holes in it. As an example, if you clean lettuce with water, it's going to be far too wet to use in a salad - so you can leave it to drain, allowing all the water to fall off until it's mostly dry again.
