James' Top 5 Kingston Brass Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, Americans spend an average of 37 minutes a day preparing and serving food as well as cleaning up.

But for many families, food prep and cleaning aren’t all that goes on in the kitchen. Assuming that the kitchen is the most frequented room in the house, nowadays families are using it to hang out and socialize. Some invite friends to sit/stand and talk while others grab a snack or drink and use their electronic devices.

Whether it’s a small party or a large gathering, guests are roaming about and as a host, having the kitchen looking messy and/or incomplete wouldn’t be ideal.

In this instance, we emphasize the stainless steel kitchen sink as our focus product. The stainless steel material is the most popular type of kitchen sink and with its great resistance to heat and stain, it is ideal for daily tasks such as cleaning and preparing.

When making food or washing pots and pans, one would seek a spacious interior. Having friends or family over for lunch or dinner would also require a kind of sink that is convenient in getting jobs done efficiently and quickly. But along with functionality, aesthetics of course is a factor as well. Having the right type (material and finish) of kitchen sink plays a part with color coordination as well as style. To coordinate perfectly with surrounding kitchen decor is a must and requires one to choose a specific type of kitchen sink.

But what Kingston Brass stainless steel sinks are the best to have? Here are my top 5:

5.

Gourmetier GKTD33227 Drop-in Double Bowl Kitchen Sink, Stainless Steel

Also called a self-rimming sink, this double bowl drop-in sink is the lowest price in this list and has a 50-50 configuration. The double bowl design is the most common and provides the homeowner with a conventional sink type for the kitchen. The sink is easy to install and normally are lower priced than other sink types.

4.

Gourmetier GKTS332290 Drop-in Single Bowl Kitchen Sink

This sink is a spacious single bowl design where a wide variety of kitchen tasks can easily be done. While possessing the same length and width as the double bowl GKTD33227, this drop-in sink has more depth and provides more space for daily tasks. People like to put all their pots, pans, dishes and bowls in the sink before cleaning up and if capacity is a benefit, then this may be the right choice for you. And with an 18-gauge thickness in stainless steel it is more than sufficient for residential use.

Gourmetier KUS332010DBNR Undermount Double Bowl Kitchen Sink, Stainless Steel

While the previous sinks were designed with rounded corners, this next option has a more stylized angular quality. While it may appear to be less aesthetically appealing at first glance, such is not the case. The clean and sleek lines work well in modern and contemporary spaces. The width and depth make it incredibly convenient, and having one bowl to do washing and the other for food prepping makes this sink an ideal choice for busy homes. This undermount sink is good for solid surface countertops and is attractive with a minimalist appearance about it.

Gourmetier BKUF362110BN Edinburng Apron Front Farmhouse Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, Brushed

Size does matter! Featuring a 36″ length and a 10″ depth, this apron front farmhouse sink is popular and, dare I say, a constant must-have? Whether it’s a stainless sink or solid surface white, apron front kitchen sinks are a coveted kitchen staple. With an 18-gauge stainless steel thickness, this sink also features a sound-deadening pad on the underside to aid in dampening sound. Includes mounting hardware and an installation template.

Gourmetier BKUF362110DBNL Edinburng Apron Front Farmhouse Double Bowl Kitchen Sink, Brushed

My personal preference is the double bowl design. And like the previous kitchen sink, this apron front farmhouse sink is my must-have sink. My ideal kitchen space is a faucet that reaches and covers every part of the kitchen sink. I don’t use a pot filler so the size of this sink is perfect to put a pot in and fill with water (although a pot filler is much easier). My ideal kitchen has a lot of open space where the biggest in anything–whether its oven, stove, sink or faucet is still convenient. The apron-front farmhouse design of this sink is very classic and traditional, and allows it to coordinate well with the surrounding decor.
