Updating a kitchen, need a new sink

I'm a farmhouse guy for space efficiency. I also often cook large meals so the big dishes are easier to rinse off in the large sink.

I don't find the point in having two separate bowls if you aren't using them to wash the dishes by hand.

I don't know much about kitchen sinks...but when I visit my mother, she almost always has one of those "house hunter" shows on, and here is what you have to have to make it all work:


-Granite countertops
-Backsplash
-Open floor plan
-An annoying bitch for a gf/wife who has to argue over every little thing that you want in a house.

Hope this helps.

Single bowl. Makes cleaning large pots and pans so easy. Will never have anything different.

Just got an apron front sink, one huge side on the left and a low barrier between the smaller bowl on the right side. Definitely recommend. Tons of room for larger pots and pans, especially if you need to soak anything for a while.

That's easy. Definitely do 60/40. It would be a total pain if the barrier were in the middle. I wouldn't steer you wrong. I just spent two years researching every detail about every single thing I chose for my new house. Either get a 60/40 or don't get a barrier at all. I've used both sides every day since moving in. I soak bottles in one sink while washing dishes in the other. Trust me.

I just updated my kitchen and went with a 2 bowl low divide sink. It is divided and can function as a single sink with enough water.

Whatever you do, do not get a flat kitchen sink. My apartment has one and it is the most annoying piece of shite sink ever. It does not empty well and always leaves pieces of food and stuff behind. We have them in our bathrooms too, and toothpaste stains will always be there unless you wipe it to the drain. It is so annoying.

Edit: It seems that this sink is a farmhouse, and a lot of you like it. My opinion is completely different lol. It is probably more okay to be in the kitchen, but the bathrooms is absurd

2 sinks so you can have a dirty side and a cleaner side. Say for defrosting meat.

I love my old 60/40 split. Disposal and faucet are on the right side (40) for spraying dishes clean, and the left (60) is deeper for thawing meat or soaking larger pots/pans.

Mine is 60/40 right now and I've pondered this question myself, but how often do you really wash large bowls? My laundry sink is not far from my kitchen that I could use if needed.

I use my small sink all the time for soaking something, thawing meat, grease, etc. that I would absolutely hate to use the entire sink up for.
