Single Bowl Sink Or Double Bowl Sink?

[tonyjames 0]

I've been doing a lot of research as to whether a single or double bowl kitchen sink would be most suited for me. Unfortunately, no matter how much I read, I'm still at a total loss and have no idea what to do.

Instead of another generic 'single bowl vs double bowl' post, I've got a few specific queries below which some of you might hopefully be able to advise on.

- If I was to use a single bowl, I would need to use a separate dishpan to wash dishes. Space is limited so storing this dishpan when it is not in use is a challenge.

- How do you all dry your dishes? I'd like to air dry as it saves time and effort, but if I put a drying rack in or over the sink, it prevents that side from being used for rinsing vegetables etc.

- I have read about the low divide sinks, but they don't seem able to hold enough water to do a proper wash up for me. They still don't seem like an ideal way to wash larger items like cookie trays either.

- A 50/50 split would render both bowls too small for larger items, but a 60/40 or 70/30 split would mean that the smaller bowl is not big enough for rinsing/drying the dishes.

- A drying rack built as part of the sink itself (I hope you know what I mean) looks attractive, but isn't really useful for other purposes. I need to be able to multitask to use my space effectively.

- Those chopping boards you can put on top of the sink look like a great idea, but again, they prevent you from using that side of the sink for rinsing etc.

Any advice on the above would be very much appreciated. I really don't want to make a mistake that I grow to hate in the years to come.

I can't answer all your questions but just share with you some pointers

1. Single or double bowl sink really depends on your lifestyle

If you use the Chinese wok for your cooking. Only the big bowl can really wash it properly without splashing water outside the sink.

I am currently using double bowl for last thirteen years and washing big wok, big pots is really a problem.

2.double bowl

Is good for seperating the dishes after rinsing and sponging them.

Best is for you to look at your lifestyle, your collection of pots and pans etc.....
