Belfast-style sink:
Nostalgic charm for your kitchen
Great! Lean comfortably against the slightly protruding sink and scrub a deep-sided pot. Did it hold potato or cheesy leek soup for the whole family? How easy it is for residues to stick to the bottom of the pot. Starch and cheese – a nightmare when it comes to washing up. Baking trays can often retain residues that are hard to shift. In her country kitchen, Granny would whisk the pot and baking tray of to her big, deep farmhouse-style Belfast sink. In those days it was practically a trough for washing dishes. Both would be clean again in no time, and Granny would be content.
