I am redoing my kitchen - completely gutted the walls, ripped out all
cabinets, threw out all appliances so it's basically a blank sheet of paper.

I have finished the new framing, electrical, plumbing rough-in.

Now we are trying to decide on the flooring, and the cabinets are designed
(however no go ahead has been given yet), the cabinets are custom made so
basically I can use odd size cabinets.

I have originally considered a 32" sink cabinet adjacent to a dish washer.
This weekend there is a sample sale at a near by show room we went to take a
look and they have a Blanco stainless steel sink that my wife likes. It's
deep - 10" and it has a normal size bowl on one side and a large bowl on the
other side. I measured it and it's 37-1/2" in width from lip tp lip. So
32" would not work. I have not researched the price yet but they said it's
$1040 at 60% off so it will be around $400.

She likes the large bowl but in order to get the bowl size accomodated I
have to give some cabinet space somewhere else.

Also if you have a large bowl and a smaller one, which one should be the one
connected to a disposer?

What is this about zero radius bowls? Why is it "better"? Seems everyone
think it's better but no one can tell me why. It seems it's harder to clean
but it looks sharper is this why?

Any thoughts about what may be problems I have not considered by using a
non-standard size sink?

Thanks,

MC

Disposal on the small one. If you have a sink full of soaking pots or a
bushel of crabs on the big side you still have acess to the small side , a
good one to use for food prep. That would be my preference for type of
sink also. The typical 50-50 is terrible.

Probably because of looks. It does give a slight amount of room though.

I have several pots which don't fit into the standard 50-50. ugh Hate
mine. Should replace it.

I have my disposer in the right side, which is the smaller sink. One reason
is that one can easily use the larger sink on the left for washing whatever
one wants to wash (or soak) and still have the disposer available if needed.

I think it is IMPORTANT to put the disposer on the side that your dishwasher
is on.

My dishwasher is on the right side of the sink, so the disposer is also in
the right part of the sink.

That way, I rinse the garbage off the plates into the disposer with my right
hand and put the plates into the dishwasher on the right side of the sink
with my right hand.

Whichever side is most convenient for you to use. Where are YOU most
comfortable having the disposer? Put it on that side. There's
nothing dogmatic about it.
