I have one big rear end sink and it's great because you can actually lay a whole sheet pan flat it in that thing. Can't do that with a double basin. I actually do my dishes nearly immediately, and I'm married with a kid. It takes way less time to just loving clean it immediately than to let it sit and pile up, exceptions only for things that really need to soak. I also have a dishwasher though, so over half my dishes go straight into that.

I don't know who taught you all to wash dishes, but the obviously most correct way is 1) Load all dirty dishes into one basin, fill with soapy water 2) Wash each item, leaving silverware to soak until the end, then move to second basin, stacked neatly 3) Rinse all the soapy dishes in one go, letting the rinse water run over all the still soapy dishes and lowering the amount of water needed to rinse each subsequent item 4) Remove to draining rack

Correct method Load all dishes into dry sink Wait until sink is full, minimum three days so food is completely fossilized Load dishes onto counter One by one, using the empty sink, spray down dishes until dried food falls off Load in dishwasher Start loading new dirty dishes in sink When sink is full, start fully loaded dishwasher's cleaning cycle Repeat

The Dave posted:Absolutely couldn't imagine life without a double basin, there's like a lot of poo poo we wash that doesn't fit or isn't dishwasher safe that I don't want to immediately have to dry off and put away. Guess I'm lazy? What the double basin crew doesn't realize is that their two basins are less volume than a large single basin. Go ahead and stack your nasty dishes in there, there's still enough room to wash something on top. Bonus, you keep the other dishes soaking in soapy water. Plus I can fit my half sheet pans easily, and my giant cutting board.

We went with a 36" stainless farmhouse style sink in our kitchen and it is glorious. Haven't met the cookware that won't fit in it flat. We hand wash our cookware but all serving and flat ware goes in the dishwasher. Like seriously, I can fit a five gallon bucket in there under the faucet. Tell me that isn't handy.

Moved from several homes with double basin and this is way better, especially with a high pressure sprayer. The ability to put 13x9s and baking sheets flat in the bottom is great for scrubbing/soaking, and the dishwasher handles everything else. Stainless steel is also >>>>> ceramic.

So you guys just put a bunch of plates in some soapy water until it's all good and filthy, then rinse that off, and it's clean? Double Basin Gang probably draws 1 bath for the whole family to use "Rinse off in the shower after", is what Double Basin Gang says

Whatever comes out has earned its place on your sheet pan/13x9. Or then scrub the much reduces few little bits that stayed on through some miracle.

Upgrading to a single basin is on my project board. I've got an ancient cast iron enamel coated thing right now that needs to go. I get the appeal of having a conceptual divider in a sink, but I bet there's some simple thin things you could hang in the middle to solve that. Also stop rinsing. The correct method is scrape into trash/compost/disposal --> dishwasher. The sink should be for pots and boards. El Mero Mero fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Why do you guys need to soak dishes so regularly If you need to soak in a single basin just rinse off all the dishes, get em in the dishwasher, and then soak the larger items that need to loosen up What in the actual christ

A single basin undermount stainless sink was the only request I had in our new kitchen. Big enough to soak and wash the occasional lasagna pan and pots and pans. Smaller cookware and daily dishes go in the dishwasher and get run at bedtime, unloaded in the morning before we leave the house. My parents had a two basin enameled cast iron overmount, and all the previous places I've lived were overmount two basin stainless. They all sucked. I'll also fight for my glass top electric range. If I need fire to cook, I've got a gas grill outside. Any downsides to the glass top are outweighed by the ease of cleanup, since my wife seems to boil over or spill on it every time we cook.

Well no we stack the second basin with a lot of akward stuff that would eat into the 'working area' if it was a single basin. Feels like there's a wide variance of double basin soldiers in the army. The sane kind: The first basin is for rinsing, the second basin is for drying. There is no mountains of dirty dishes sitting around in this model.

I've made my entire kitchen and dining room one big wet room with floor drains equipped with commercial grade 10 HP garbage disposals and multiple waterfall shower heads in the ceiling. After every meal I pull a red chain and all of my problems wash away at 60 gallons per minute.

I added a stainless steel sink to my house. Technically, it's in the basement, but it's right below the kitchen! One basin and everything. There's even induction!

Also when I upgraded my sink it went from an 8" deep double basin to a 10" deep single. The depth alone was a huge difference. Losing the center divider meant my giant items fit.

StormDrain posted:Hrmm get less awkward stuff? Yeah, I think a lot of this has a lot to do with the size of your stove/pots/oven habits. We've got a weird kitchen where we've gota 2 basin sink that is the one that mostly gets used but a famrhouse sink also and I love that thing for cleaning big stuff. Assuming I also have a dishwasher I'm pretty sure I'd always choose a larger dingle basin over a double basin sink now, but they both have their places and I think what you have kinda determines how you "run" your kitchen.

Our foundation is made of granite slabs - the topmost rock in that picture is probably the single biggest stone. about 16” thick, 6 feet deep, and nearly 20 feet across - continues on the other side of the murder room wall where the ducts are. Our murder room has a window though. It was for wood storage. The wood chute is still in place, just out of frame to my left in that first pic. (The door next to it is an interior kitchen door that I removed, which was a thread topic a few weeks back)  The window at the top swings open from the outside, you just drop the logs in Bonus pic of the wood burning stove all that wood was for  However, the basement murder room isn’t even the place in my house most likely to be featured in a horror movie That honor goes to the outhouse in the attached barn   The guy who owned the house in 1885 carved his name in the shitter which is real neat  Harvey ‘85
