Single bowl sink

While a double sink needs to be large enough to accommodate two bowls, single bowl sinks can take up relatively little space. ... Therefore, single bowl sinks are more useful for things like washing large pots or babies, while a double bowl sink has more options for how to use the sink. Available in stainless steel, porcelain and enameled cast iron, self-rimming or drop-in sinks are the most popular type of sink and the easiest to install. The sink's weight is supported by a rim that extends above the countertop surface. A garbage disposal can be installed in either a single kitchen sink or on one half of a double sink with a strainer basket in the drain of the second half of the sink. Installing a disposal on a single sink is a much simpler task, as you won't have to contend with the tie-in for the second sink.
