Please tell me if you have a left side drain farm house sink?
Comments (2)My Rohl Shaws farmhouse fireclay sink with left drain was just installed and I LOVE it. Mine is biscuit, but it comes in white. I got a 1 hp insinkerator and an XL flange....See MoreIsland prep sink - did you set yours horizontal or vertical?
Comments (2)Do you have a layout you can post? Your question can't really be answered without seeing what is where in your space. I like having a large open space next to my prep sink so, in general, I'm in favor of whatever placement where you can have this. Again, we need to see your layout. :)...See MorePrep sink - what do you use yours for?
Comments (10)I love my prep sink--and many thanks to the folks here who 'talked me into it' when I hesitated!! I use mine for all prep work--washing veggies, rinsing meat or poultry, washing poultry hands or messy baking hands, and occasionally for washing a dish when the other sink is busy/full. I also use it to drain pasta or other things that have been cooking, or to draw water for cooking them. Most of the things on Rhome's list are also on mine. I like that it's on a corner across from the dishwasher, so if I have prep dishes in there, I can just snatch them up and pop them in the DW. It's also accessible from two sides since it is on the corner. I don't have a garbage disposal on the prep sink, but I do have pop out garbage can under the sink, so I can just toss veggie trimmings or whatever in there. I also have a Tapmaster on that sink, and I highly recommend it--it's great when you have chicken-y or greasy/dough caked hands to be able to turn the water on and off without having to touch anything! My prep sink is big enough to handle a big turkey, wash a cookie sheet, and do whatever the main sink does if I need it to, which is just how I wanted it. I did make a strict rule that dirty dishes do NOT get left in the prep sink by anyone not actually prepping food--that means that it's always clean and ready to go when I need to use it. :-) Hope this helps.

Comments (34)I plan to have a separate prep sink on my island with a larger main cleanup sink on an exterior wall next to the dishwasher. It is normal in my house for the sink to get filled with dirty dishes throughout the day (since apparently I am the only person capable of loading a dishwasher). I want a space where I can have a clean sink for cleaning and prepping vegetables that is next to my work space and away from the sink filled with dirty dishes that may not be loaded into the dishwasher until after dinner. However, I think it really depends on how your kitchen is organized. While traditional thinking talked about a "work triangle" (including stove, sink, refrigerator), the common discussion in the kitchen forum has been about "work zones". This concept is brilliant. I usually have an area where I'm prepping, mixing, chopping, etc. I do a lot of vegetable-based cooking so I need a space adjacent to clean veggies, rinse quinoa, etc and that is how I will use a prep sink. This area is separate from my cleanup zone where I have a big sink for hand-washing pots and pans and an adjacent dishwasher for loading daily dishes. You might consider posting your kitchen layout in the kitchen forum. The people there are brilliant when it comes to kitchen layouts....See Morepps7
