When we redid the kitchen a few years ago, i knew i didn’t want a double sink, nor a stainless steel one that would scratch, and definitely not a an overlap that gets gunk caught under the lip. I wanted something big enough to be able to put the griddle or half sheet pans in to clean them without (in theory) getting water all over the floor!
We chose a bottom mount, black granite sink and I am still giddy with our purchase!
The trick it how to clean it. I did some research and found that about once a month it needed to cleaned with the following easy process!
Favorite buy – i bought this set of “sprinkle” covers for mason jars and keep a bottle under the sink with my baking soda in it!
Original recipe is here and I’m pretty thrilled with it!
With holidays coming, why not start with a sparkly clean sink!
