Feedback from those who have/had fireclay sinks

Agreed, stainless is the way to go. If it is undercounter mount make sure your contractor frames it in really well.

We went with a mocha colored granite sink. Ours has two compartments, but they come in endless configurations and multiple colors, including white.

I've washed Le Creuset pots in it two or three times a week for several years with no issues. Our housekeeper cleans it and wipes with baby oil every two weeks, and it looks like new.

Ours is very deep, so we put a stainless drain rack on the bottom of the big side. That raises things so you don't have to bend down in there so far.

These are pics found online.

We also have a dark brown granite sink. I do alot of cooking. Keep it oiled and it will hold up well and look new. We've had oura for 7+ years.

I went with copper and love the patina it has acquired after a couple of years use. Copper also has natural anti microbial properties. Look it up.

I went with one of those for my prep sink. It is a small apron sink, and it has an elevated stainless steel dish rack that sits an inch off the surface of the sink. It seems to be holding up well, but it gets light daily use and not for heavy dishwashing.

I went with a Kohler undermount cast iron apron sink for the kitchen though. Same steel rack in the bottom. It has some enamel scuffs, but has held up very well. With a good deep cleaning, most of the blemishes come off and it looks new after 5 years. They’re expensive, but I think they’re worth it.
