Single or double bowl kitchen sink?
Comments (9)We find most people prefer a double bowl sink, with a generous bowl on either the left or right. One side for washing....one side for air drying if that is your preference. Keep in mind a really large single bowl sink (30 X 22) is similar to a small tub and will take a lot of water to fill. This may not be friendly in areas where water is scarce. Sink grids are great to protect the bottom of your sink, sink insurance if you will, especially if the sink is undermounted under a beautiful granite or quartz countertop as the cutout size is sink specific. An additional note regarding the sink is which side to install the disposal. It's generally helpful to have that installed in the bowl next to the dishwasher where most of the scraping/rinsing will take place....See MoreSingle Bowl or Double Bowl
Comments (32)I've always had Insinkerator disposals and always peeled into the sink until the day it surprisingly backed up on me. I think that a batch disposal helps with not overfilling the disposal, which is what I probably did. Now I try to be a little more careful. Luckily DH fixed it and I didn't have to call a plumber. This is from the Insinkerator Excel 1 HP manual. I have heard that the busiest day for plumbers is the day after Thanksgiving. Just a friendly reminder. DON’T... • DON’T POUR GREASE OR FAT DOWN YOUR DISPOSER OR ANY DRAIN. IT CAN BUILD UP IN PIPES AND CAUSE DRAIN BLOCKAGES. PUT GREASE IN A JAR OR CAN AND DISPOSE IN THE TRASH. Don’t fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in gradually. • Don’t grind large amounts of egg shells or fibrous materials like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage. • Don’t turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard • Don’t use hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods....See More1 or 2 bowl kitchen sink Dawn removable divider--gimick or great idea?
Comments (20)I disagree with the others. I have had a single bowl, a 50/50 and a 70/30. Of the three I like the 70/30 best. I like to run some hot soapy water and have it in the sink while I am cooking. I use it the entire time I cook, wiping my counter, stove, cleaning dishes as I go. With a single bowl I ended up with a plastic tub sitting in the bottom of the sink and had to work around it. With the 50/50 I was short on space to wash larger pots or to fill a bucket. With the 70/30 I have enough space to fill a bucket, give the cat or infant a bath or have my soapy water while cooking and I still have a prep sink and garbage disposal side that I can use to rinse veggies, peel potatoes or rinse off a plate. I think it really depends on your needs. A 70/30 is my sweet spot. https://www.amazon.com/Blanco-440197-Diamond-Silgranit-Brown/dp/B000GPTPJG/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1X3LES4C2CN02&dchild=1&keywords=70%2F30%2Bundermount%2Bkitchen%2Bsink&qid=1597500915&s=hi&sprefix=70%2F30%2B%2Ctools%2C275&sr=1-8&th=1...See MoreOpted for 60/40 sink but builder installed 40/60
Comments (37)My husband and I cook almost every meal at home, counting the leftovers that we take for lunches. Before COVID, we ate out less than once a week, now it’s about once a month. Still, we don’t use the DW all that much, unless I make a point of running it so that it doesn’t stink, and that takes two days to fill. We just hand-wash all of our pots and pans, and most of our meal prep things (think immersion blender, colanders, salad spinner, spice grinder, wooden cutting boards, wooden utensils, cast iron, all of the melamine stuff that we use outside). So our 36” 40/60 works great. Our sheet pans lay flat in the 60 side, and most of our big pans fit at least most of the way in (the 14 and 16 inch sauté handles just don’t quite). We‘ll be getting a similar apron-front for our new home, too. Could never live with just a single....See MoreRelated Professionals
