Executive Chef Uc Sink W/Install Kit

While the sink is a great design for me, and the white is lovely, it EASILY stains like I've never experienced! Simply carefully resting silver utensils or metal dishware/cookware in the sink, leaves gray marks that are difficult to remove. It's a good thing I'm careful as well as being meticulous about constantly rinsing the sink, because it also stains very easily due to various colored food products. Yesterday, I spoke with Customer Service who informed me about their special cleaner that they will send me, that should provide some protection. We'll see.

We love this sink. My wife wanted a single bowl sink so her larger pans would lie flat, I wanted a double bowl sink so we could have a rinsing bowl while hand washing the dishes we didn't want to put in the dishwashers (fine china, good cookware, knives). The oversized left bowl fits a 12" skillet flat, handle and all, while the slightly smaller right bowl is still plenty big enough for almost any task.Some notes:1) Get a faucet that can be mounted "single hole", because you'll want the faucet mounted on the leftmost mounting hole. If you use a 3-hole faucet, the filler will be off-center. It would work, just be aware. There are 4 more holes for mounting air gaps, controls, dispensers, etc.2) The sink doesn't ship with sink strainers. You could re-use yours, but more likely you will want to by new. Kohler makes strainers (Duostariner) and disposal flanges that match their faucet finishes, these are beautiful and sturdy parts that will match the solidity of the cast iron sink well. I'm very glad we invested in them3) The other review called this sink "fragile"; while it might break if you went after it with a 16 lb sledge hammer, the porcelain finish is tough and the iron is thick and sturdy. This sink could outlast you kitchen4) There are also racks for the bottom of the sink, if you tend to drop plates and glasses into you sink, these can offer a bit of "cushion" to reduce the odds of breakage, since the sink has almost no "give", dropped dishes have a higher chance of breaking than thin sheet steel sinks which flex readily.

Kohler sinks are beautiful, functional and last a long time. We took out a top mount Kohler sink that had been in place for 30 years. It still looked great. We went with an under mount for our kitchen remodel but went with the same style of sink 60/40 extra deep and large bowls that we had for 30 years. Beautiful. It is a heavy sink and needs support with boards along both sides of it to cradle it in place. Otherwise, easy to install.

This is the second one that I have had and love it.

Beyond happy with this product. It installed easily enough, is solid, and looks much nicer than the run of the mill stainless sinks. Highly recommend getting the Kohler baskets for inside the bowls to help keep from scratching the sink. We used a Delta Trask faucet in the middle hole and it reaches both bowels nicely.Check out the sink carefully when you receive it. The first one we ordered had two broken corners from the shipping company, The packaging is tough to do well due to the weight (150 lbs). The flimsy Styrofoam corner guards didn't hold up well. Second one came in undamaged.

Kohler had a fire this year, destroying much of their sink inventory. Desparate to finish a kitchen remodel, I checked various vendors who carried Kohler and no one had anything in stock or a date I could depend on. I checked Amazon (who miraculously carries everything) and bought exactly the Kohler sink I needed. It arrived on time in perfect condition.Amazon is simply amazing!

This executive chef is great with its extra deep sink. You can have dishes in the sink and actually not notice them. It's very functional and attractive. I had a stainless steel sink before this purchase but the sink never looked pristine unless it was completely spotless. This sink is heavy duty and it looks great in my new kitchen. Glad I made the purchase.

Lovely sink. Very heavy. My granite installers installed the sink (undermount) and it is so big and heavy they had a difficult time maneuvering it to line up correctly. I watched the install and quite frankly it was a little scary.But still, a very lovely sink. Super deep. One bowl is big enough that I can sit in it....don't ask me how I know =D. I think knowing what I know now I would have gone with a good grade stainless steel sink.

it's perfect! deep and wide and easy to keep clean. Water spots don't show either
