Full or Divided Kitchen Sink?

[fluff 87]

Lets hear it.  Been a divided fan all my life but remodeling the kitchen and would like to hear thoughts from folks that have gone from a divided sink to a full sink.

When I cook, I like to have a side full of hot soapy water for dirty dishes...If you have gone to a full sink, what do you do instead?

full sink fan boi here. lot more flexibility with the space. it's a no brainer.

[Continental Op 3934]

Divided

[futureman 22485]

large full for main sink.  divided sink in the island.  another divided in the bar. 

[Iceman 2717]

divided.

1) we ain't fillin up that sumbeech anyhoo.  When one side is full, wash the mofos or load the dishwasher.

2) works great for rinsing the washed dishes.

3) if I just wanted a water trough, I'd go out to the fucking barn.

[Errestaurants 2570]

divided

[Chopper 17238]

Full sink. 2 dishwashers.

[Hank_Hill 18880]

Full. Fuck having to wash sheet pans at a 75 degree angle.

[Deej 76831]

Whichever one leads to the fewest threads being started.

[bborange 10080]

Full sink here

[ShaggyBevo RIP 3868]

Full unless grandma lives with you to fill one side for hand wash crap.

You have two wives? That's like twice as less sex then.

This. And large saute pans with long handles. 

[Assman 1830]

Divided but with a 66/33 split.  Enough room on the big side to wash pans and cookie sheets, and a perfectly sized area on the small side to plug it up to soak smaller shit or wash fruits/veggies.

We have something like this and I'll never go back to a traditional split.

Mmmmm.  Chateau Latour.

[Redneck Mutha 8004]

Full.  As others mentioned, more space for large pots/pans and less wasted space with the divider.  

On the rare occasion my wife needs separate space with soapy water, she'll put a small plastic tub in the sink and use that.

[Pato del Muerto 52526]

 

want a nice farmhouse sink. Room for larger items. As said, if you need a separate area then have a tub in there. 

[conVINCEd 21469]

I am generally a full sink man, but this 66/33 split has me intrigued.

How does your belt buckle not scratch the front?

[LebongJames 1812]

Full but really it’s about the depth. Some weak 6” sink is going to be terrible no matter what. Gotta go at least 9” for the big pots.

It's the civilized choice.

Can't speak for others, but pants are optional in our kitchen.

South Austin’s mom also says 6” is weak. 9 at least.

Our maid does all our dishes so I’m not too worried about it.

Good lord why do I keep hanging out with poor people?

Full and deep baby.  Gotta wash those pans.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

In the end just make sure your faucet can do this

Game changer

In South Austin's mom

[Armybrat 40851]

Full sink here. Would never go back to those cramped divided things.

[gmr548 16580]

66/33? Why would you only settle for 99 percent of a sink?

1% divider.

[Junior Miller 1502]

Who cares? The woman deals with that shit

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Full or divided....Mary Ann or Ginger?  Why not both?

[dad 557]

Full. Trimming brisket and rib racks without having to lean them over the divider and having that shit splash everywhere on the counter.

[Spur08 382]

Wife (no pics you pervy bastards) wants a new kitchen sink for Christmas and I'm happy to oblige.  Who would you normally hire to remove and replace a (likely) undermount kitchen sink?  I'm also looking to see if there's any room to expand the cutout (hence hiring it out).

 

Second question...where would you go to shop for the one bowl sinks?  Just your standard big box?

[Upgrayedd 5814]

Divided.  Rinsing dishes back into the the dishwater from which it came is for savages.

Any man can do it.

It's literally just adhesive holding it up.  Just take a knife and run it between the countertop and sink.  If you're lucky, the original installer put clips on it.  I'd recommend some supports that screw into the side of the cabinet walls.   

 

To install, you just put adhesive on the new sink and pull it tight with clamps like this:

[Spur08 382]

Again, more so the fact that I don't want to cut into my granite and crack it. I'd rather have someone who has done that before

fucking hate split sinks.  cant place a big thing in it. replacing mine next year with a single big bowl when we also change the countertops.

[Texzilla58 4738]

I like the big farm sink if I only have one, stainless not porcelain. Wife though is old school and likes divided but she grew up without a dishwasher. Our last house had a goofy 80/20 split that was just a useless waste. And the disposal was in the little side. Had to get a disposal installed on the big side. We were going to do a big kitchen rebuild taking in the dining room with a massive farm sink plus a half size. Wife balked at a restaurant style three sink set up.

Daughter in law has one of these modern sinks. Stainless big single sink with all kinds of accessories. A divider, a bottom rack, different trays, shelves strainers, etc. it’s very cool.

I’m also a fan of two dishwashers, actually I’d want a regular size plus two drawers.

[immamac 42865]

2 dishwashers with one for plates and stuff and the other for pans pots and large serving dishes would be the fucking bees knees. 

[Brisketexan 105158]

We just did a full kitchen remodel.  Went with a stainless farmhouse sink, love it.  For a dish drain for those handwashed items, wife bought a nice Oxo rack that sits next to the sink, with a mat and spout that drains into the sink.  We love the setup.  Only downside is that you actually have to move food scraps towards the drain with a sponge or spray because the sink is so large, but it's not a hassle that bothers us.

Why are you taking pictures in my kitchen?? But seriously, what side is your disposal on? I have this sink (and Gaggia classic), and they put the disposal on the small side and it's a huge pain in the ass. I'm just renting this place until my kids graduate high school in 2025 so I'm not going to change it, but when they're off to college and I buy something elsewhere, I'll be looking for a large single sink or I'll remodel the kitchen and add it.
