    Hi,

    I've read in places that having a Belfast sink in your standard kitchen is not a good idea - something about breaking a lot of cutlery etc.

    What do people think of having a bejfast sink in the utility room ??

    My mam broke cups in her sister in law's Belfast sink once LOL she nearly died. She did a lot of cursing afterwards! I know they look nice but not sure of the practicality of them. My aunt said you have to be careful washing up in her Belfast sink.

    Thanks. How is it that they are renowned for breaking cups etc. Is it just the hard material the sink is made from or is it that the sink is deep.

    I presume it's a bit of both! Mainly the hard surface though. My Mam has one in her utility, it's very handy for washing bigger things like the racks off the oven, or roasting dishes, that are awkward to wash in the normal sink.

    Thx.
    And this is the exact kind of purpose I would be using it for - awkward oversized stuff like this. Not cups etc.

    Not only does china get broken if dropped in, the sinks themselves get chipped and scratched, eventually. It's pottery, after all.

    Are there any other material alternatives that are sane dimensions as Belfast sink?

    I think it's possible to get large, deep stainless steel sinks: I've seen them in hostels, as well as catering places.
