    No, it’s an insinkerater - it’s got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.

    I think it’s better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly

      You mean a garbage disposal unit (insinkerator is just one brand). I’ve never seen those in the side sink, I’ve only had them in the main one.

        Yes, garbage disposal sink! That’s what was stick on my tongue! Thanks, rando.

        Dunno why we’ve only seen opposites

      Yes but you don’t need separate sink for that.

        It’s not a separate sink, it’s a dual-chambered sink, it’s one big sink with a raised bit in the middle

        The real reason for separate sink areas is that one is for un-dirtying them (this side has the disposal usually) and the other side for rinsing

        Commercial sinks are usually 3-chambered (rinse, wash, sanitize)

        I hear you - I don’t know why it’s never been in the main sink. I’ve just never seen it like that…

      Some of us work hard and pay good money for a fine meal… I’m not putting that down the drain!
