Stuff in My Sink

The old sink was an enamel coated, cast iron behemoth. We considered reusing it, but it was difficult to keep clean, scratched, and Dr. Plumber permanently adhered it to the old counter top. Also, it may have been damaged a little when it was accidentally dropped then hit repeatedly with a hammer during demolition.

We've had the new sink in for a few weeks now. It's been enough time to thoroughly test it out and say that I like it!

We were pretty sure that we wanted a single basin sink. At Home Depot a stainless steel one was over $200. The cheapest, flimsyest, double basin sink was almost $90. Things seemed a little overpriced for the quality you were getting. Jason looked online and found one from MR Direct. Not only is it a better quality, thicker gauge steel than the $200 single basin sink, we also paid less for it than the cheapest, smallest sink that Home Depot sells.

So, new sink looks really huge, but it's the same size as a normal stainless steel sink, only without the divider in the middle. It's amazing how many dishes it holds. How easy it is to wash large, bulky things, like my enormous pots and pans, casserole pans, and cookie sheets.

Just to give you an idea:

Giant skillet and pot.



Cookie sheet, muffin tin.
