Double Basin Sinks: The Pros
- Multitasking: wash in one bowl, rinse in the other.
- Separation: keep raw meat washing separate from vegetables and dishes — popular in Pakistani kitchens.
- Soaking: soak pots in one bowl while using the other.
- Organisation: stack dirty dishes on one side.
- Two users: two people can work at once.
Considerations
- Each bowl is smaller, so large pots, degchis and tawas may not fit flat.
- Needs a wider base cabinet.
Single Basin Sinks: The Pros
- Large capacity: fits big pots, karahis, degchis, baking trays and tawas.
- Easier cleaning: no central divider.
- Space-efficient: fits smaller cabinets.
- Modern look: clean and minimal.
Considerations
- No built-in separation — use a basin or dish rack inside.
Other Options
- Large-and-small bowl: a big bowl for pots and a small one for prep or rinsing.
- Low-divide double bowl: a lower divider lets large items fit across both bowls.
- Sink with drainboard: convenient drying space.
- Prep sink: a second small sink on an island.
What Suits Pakistani Kitchens?
Families cooking in large pots often prefer a large single bowl or a large-and-small combination. Households that wash meat separately often prefer a double bowl.
Fitting the Sink into Stone
- Undermount: sleek, easy to wipe, needs a polished cut-out.
- Top-mount: easier to install.
- Provide the sink or its template to FB Marble before templating.
