Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I've always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.

No, it's an insinkerater - it's got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.

I think it's better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

You mean a garbage disposal unit (insinkerator is just one brand). I've never seen those in the side sink, I've only had them in the main one.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, garbage disposal sink! That's what was stick on my tongue! Thanks, rando.

Dunno why we've only seen opposites

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Yes but you don't need separate sink for that.

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

It's not a separate sink, it's a dual-chambered sink, it's one big sink with a raised bit in the middle

The real reason for separate sink areas is that one is for un-dirtying them (this side has the disposal usually) and the other side for rinsing

Commercial sinks are usually 3-chambered (rinse, wash, sanitize)

I hear you - I don't know why it's never been in the main sink. I've just never seen it like that...

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Some of us work hard and pay good money for a fine meal.. I'm not putting that down the drain!

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

My parents have one like it but with a sort of driptray in it so you can use it to wash fruits and vegetables, for example.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Sure, some people like them. I'll take a bigger sink and throw a strainer in it for that sort of thing though. Redid my kitchen a few years ago and threw in an obnoxiously large and deep rectangular pit of a stainless steel sink and it's the best damn thing I've done to my kitchen. It even has a seamless extension that is a flat drying rack so you cut an even gianter opening in the granite and put that part over the dishwasher.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

That we can agree on. Having worked in commercial kitchens a bit I wish every kitchen could be huge and stainless steel. Might actually cook for myself if that were the case.

I had to replace my kitchen faucet and got a nice one. I installed it and was liking it until I looked at the insert that advertised some other products they had and then I wanted a whole new sink as soon as I saw a picture. Their sinks had ledges along the front and back so that you could place add-ons like strainer baskets or grills that would sit flush with the sink and could slide around. It also seemed so obvious that I can't believe these crappy sinks are the norm.

Though I do prefer having a double sink (kinda wish I had a triple one tbh). Then you can do dishes in one and use the other to rinse instead of slowly filling the single sink more and more. Or let dishes pile up a bit in one sink without having to work around those dishes to do other things before you get to cleaning them. Plus it takes more water to fill a giant sink to the same depth as a smaller sink.

Though a bowl inside a giant sink also works. Just give me those ledges and add-ons for whatever my next sink is.

Can confirm the giant steel basin sink with ledges is fucking awesome. We just installed one and I will never go back.
