Kitchen Design - The New Double Bowl Sink

Kitchen Design - The New Double Bowl Sink

I am typically not an advocate of Double Bowl sinks in the kitchen. They take up a lot of space and neither bowl is ever large enough to soak and wash a large pan. I usually recommend an oversize single bowl.

Kohler recently introduced a bowl they call the " Smart Divide"TM Kitchen Sink. As described by Kohler as "Bridging the gap between form and function and proof that sometimes less is indeed more. Smart Divide kitchen sinks feature innovative, patent-pending low profile dividers. Because the top of the divider is situated deeper inside the basin area, Kohler Smart Divide sinks are better able to accomodate larger pots, and also make it easier to keep water
where it belongs - in the sink." For more informationvisit the Kohler website at:

Kitchen Design - New Microwave

Kitchen Design – New Microwave Oven

Not since Amana discontinued the pull-down door on it’s microwave ovens have we had any options in the direction the door opens on microwave ovens. This leads to placement issues in many kitchen designs as all other microwave ovens are the hinged left.

Well we now have a choice in a built in microwave from Electrolux. This new microwave has a pull-door. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all microwave manufacturers gave consumers the same choices in microwave ovens as is given in refrigeration with the choice of a right or left hinged door?
