Do you have stainless steel or other kasherable for pesach kitchen sinks? If not stainless steel, but it is kasherable, please comment what material it is made of. If you don't have a kasherable kitchen sink, what material is it?

I'm in a rental, with a horrible plastic sink. Not even two sinks, just one. Every day I have to bleach the sink, and then use different racks and inserts for meat and dairy. Having a Pesach rack and insert is just more of the same.

I miss my old rental, where I had two stainless sinks. That year was really nice.

We have stainless steel, and we were told to put an insert or silver foil to line

Stainless. I purposely picked this over other material so I could kasher it.

Metal sinks are kasherable. For most of us that means stainless, but copper sinks are also kasherable. I've never specced a soapstone sink, but real stone is also kasherable.

Non kasherable; ceramic.

I hate stainless Steel cos if the water stains, wasn't gonna put up with it just so I could kasher it for pesach. (hope to make a pesach kitchen soon). Ironically, my counter tops are kasherable but not my sinks.

Corian - was told to use an insert. Only have one sink so during the year I use sink mats/racks for dairy and meat in the sink.

I have Pesach sinks. They don't have to be kashered.

I have a single non-kasherable porcelain sink. I hate it but we can't afford to change it. During the year we use liners and inserts. On pesach I have a tub I keep on the counter and wash dishes on the counter then just rinse them into the sink.

I have a double porclain/enamel sink - one faucet for meat and dairy that swivels between the two. I hate it and hope to replace it, along with the horrible countertops that came with my kitchen. The rest of my kitchen is B"H really nice, so if I can just do this, it will be awesome.

DH does a "kashering" procedure on it which is really insufficient anyway (he does it in case it helps, some sort of svara about that) and then I cover it with contact paper (has to be very dry to stick...) because I haven't been able to find an insert that fits.


I grew up with my mother having stainless sinks that my father kashered for Pesach. But not everyone holds that you can kasher stainless steel. I had that at my previous residence, and we used an insert.

Why can't you kasher stainless steel? I thought all metal is able to be kashered?

if I had had a choice, that's what I'd have done, but I think nowadays stainless is cheaper than porcelain, so stainless is what the landlord put in anyway. kashering is messy and not without hazard but once it's done, what a mechayeh!
