Explanation of the hype

As mentioned, the second sink shows its advantage during large events, such as preparing large menus ( > 3 courses ) or large buffet preparations. By the way, also when cooking for two or more. It then enables better workflows, less self-blockage, better working. For standard applications during the week, it is not important. For that, I would not want it either. Nevertheless, I would still like to have one...

so I really find my sink very beautiful, I am happy about it every day
my husband and I often work together, or also like to cook with friends in the kitchen, although we only have a very small one at the moment. but even so, there is sometimes double use at the sink, for washing hands, or placing something to drink, draining etc.
it probably depends on the habits and the cooking style and of course you have to have the space for it

One of the best gimmicks of our new kitchen was also the second (really small) sink with an extra faucet right next to the cooktop.

Although we don’t have an island, the distance between the main sink and the cooktop is quite large. With the extra pull-out faucet, I can now refill water directly into the pot on any cooking zone. If I need to quickly wash my hands (because I’ve messed around with the food again), the way to washing up is about zero meters. And if I want to quickly pour something off, no one stands between 10 liters of boiling water and the sink. Draining vegetables, canned corn, or similar in a sieve directly in the sink next to the pot it finally has to go into - worth its weight in gold.

By the way, the sink doesn’t take up much space. First, it’s small, and second, it’s so far back that you can still comfortably use a 40x30 board in front of it.

Also good: the sink is flush-mounted. Everything that boils over, spills, and drips can be comfortably wiped into the sink.

Even better: the pull-out faucet can be opened and closed directly at the extended end with one finger. This way, I can perfectly dose the right amount of water on the spot without always needing two hands.

Hello Deliverer, our client also wants a second sink on the kitchen island. At the moment, it is planned to be 50cm away from the cooking area. A small recessed sink directly next to the cooking area would of course also be an idea. Could you upload a picture of how that looks?

There is also the option of a pure sink/work island with a larger basin and a so-called secondary area where, for example, a coffee machine or even a proper barista espresso machine can be placed... possibly in an extended cooking line. And a small extra basin works very well there.

However, you usually don't need something like that in a kitchen that has 2x3 m of space.

Could you post a picture of how that looks?

Once during installation:

And once shortly after:

The basin is 22x22(x16 deep) and about 35cm from the front edge.
