The sink in the modern kitchen
Despite the help of a machine, the sink remains the most frequently used space in every kitchen. A lot is done here when preparing meals. Washing, cutting, cooking and baking. All of these activities require the help of the sink, and the more convenient it is, the more fun you will have while cooking at home.
Fortunately, everything is much easier in today’s modern kitchen than it used to be. No more boring cleaning and scrubbing, because dishwashers do an unpleasant part of the kitchen – washing the dishes. And yet the sink remains at the center of almost everything that happens in the kitchen. Since food needs to be washed and cut, the work surface near the sink is always a first necessity. For this reason, this area should meet the requirements of the modern kitchen and be accordingly robust, functional and, of course, easy to care for. Furthermore, it should be easy to handle and, thanks to the different working heights, enable ergonomic work, i.e. work that is ergonomic. Such considerations should ideally be incorporated into the kitchen planning at the beginning, because later it is not so easy to remodel the kitchen.
Which sink is the right one for your kitchen depends on several factors. For example, how many people live in your household, how often it is cooked and of course how much space is available. A very convenient solution is a double sink with two large work basins, wide shelves on both sides and an intrigued waste separation system in the base unit. Another practical alternative is the combination of a large work basin and a small draining basin, whereby each basin should have its own drain. With the so-called eccentric control, the dirty water drains off with one turn without having to reach into it beforehand. On the draining board – with or without grooves – cutlery and dishes can dry or frozen food can be thawed.
There are also variants of sinks in which a cutting board is fitted on the basin or on the draining board to make it easier to cut food.
As standard, sinks are used across all areas. The installation also works as a substructure in the work surface.
When it comes to fittings at the latest, you are spoiled for choice, because there is a very large selection – from nostalgic to contemporary-technical. Then it is first necessary to weigh up the advantages of the fitting and only then decide which materials and details are ultimately preferred. The most important thing is of course the individual preferences, needs and expectations of the sink in order to create your own sink paradise at home.
