Upgrading my kitchen setup and I'm ready to rip my hair out. Single giant basin vs. commercial workstation sink?
I swear, whoever invented the 50/50 split double sink has never cooked a real meal in their life. Trying to wash a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a basic baking sheet in those things is a total nightmare. Water splashes fucking everywhere and I’m just completely done.
I’m finally remodeling next month and upgrading to a 16-gauge single bowl. But now I’m stuck in a massive rabbit hole deciding between two styles:
Do I go with a completely open, giant empty tub where nothing gets in the way? Or do I get one of those commercial workstation sinks with the built-in ledges for cutting boards and colanders?
My main worry with the workstation: Do those tracks and ledges just trap food slime and grease? Does it become a nightmare to clean? Are the accessories actually a game-changer for daily prep, or do they just end up cluttering the cabinets?
Budget-wise, I'm trying not to spend crazy Kohler-level money. I know Kraus and Ruvati are the usual Reddit favorites, but my budget is tight. Last night I stumbled upon a brand called Garvee that’s way cheaper, but I barely see anyone talking about them here. Has anyone actually bought one, or is it too good to be true? Am I going to regret trying to save a buck?
Please help me decide before I lose my sanity!
