My suggestion was that if you are going to install two sinks spend the extra money (probably one hour plumber’s labor and $30 material) not to have a joint waste line, so that meat or dairy waste can’t back up into the other sink.

Also, most dishwashers drain through the garbage disposer and can back up into the sink, so if your dishwasher is going to be fleischige you don’t want it draining through the milchige sink.

Most people spending good money renovating a kitchen won’t think of these things, that’s why I’m offering the suggestions from experience.

The vast majority who post in the CR are in Metro NYC or EY they do not have the luxury of the space I have living in a small town. BUT that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t share what I’ve learned from experience.

When we started off as young married 45+ years ago, we had just the basics in a 2 1/2 room apartment. The kitchen was a 5′ galley with minimal features. We made it work. We also learned what to look for in each step up.

None of my children have homes the size of ours nor Pesach kitchens…especially since they all come to us for the entire Yuntif. Having a separate Pesach kitchen allows us to start cooking and freezing now, making life easier.

In 45 years, we’ve never gone to a hotel or resort for Yuntif, but plowed whatever money we could into our home to make Yuntif more enjoyable.
