Having a 2nd sink strategically placed in the kitchen makes food preparation more convenient and work flow more efficient.
If your kitchen has kids or multiple cooks, a prep sink gives you more than 1 work area which can keep you from bumping into each other and eliminate the awkward obstacle course dance. With the most common location for a prep sink being near the refrigerator, it helps keep you from running back and forth across the kitchen.
The main sink is generally used for dirty dishes, meanwhile the prep sink can be used for other things:
- cleaning fruits & vegetables
- making coffee / tea
- filling pots
- draining pasta
- washing hands
One of our clients recently commented, ” I absolutely love having a place to drain pasta that doesn’t already have dirty dishes piled in it. AND the prep sink keeps us from washing the carrots with the greasy dishes.”
