The sink is another heavily used fixture
in the kitchen. The ages have
transformed the kitchen sink.
Originally, the sink was a single, large basin to which water was hauled
to facilitate cleaning. When plumbing
was brought into the house the sink was divided and used to help prepare meals
as well as clean. Now one could wash and
rinse. The disposal improved this
process as well, making it even easier to prepare meals. The dishwasher changed the sink further by
bringing back the single bowl since hand-washing was no longer necessary. Further, the “prep” sink – a small, single
bowl sink located away from the main sink, made meal preparation even easier
and allowed for multiple cooks to work simultaneously. Unlike other appliances and fixtures, there
are very few rules regarding the sink.
Each person has their own preferences.
Dishwashers go hand-in-hand with
sinks. The biggest issue is to make sure
you plan for the door in the open position.
I have seen kitchens with the dishwasher in the corner and the sink
adjacent. This does not allow anyone to
stand in front of the sink and load the dishwasher. OOPS!
That is not a mistake you want to discover after the kitchen is
installed. So find the sink that works
well for you and don’t put the dishwasher in the corner.
