- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to a sink, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a sink with sliding interchangeable food preparation accessories.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Most kitchens have a sink, a cooking device such as a stove, and counter space for food preparation. These elements may be configured relative to each other in a number of ways, some of which are more convenient for cooking than others. Generally, an arrangement that reduces unnecessary movement in the kitchen is desirable. The problem with most kitchens is that, regardless of the arrangement of the various elements, each area is still separate and movement between the elements is still necessary.
- For example, if a user wishes to boil a pot of water, the user generally must fill the pot at the sink and carry it to the cooking device. After cooking, if the user wishes to drain the hot water, such as from pasta, the user must carry the pot of hot water back to the sink. If the user wishes to chop vegetables to be cooked, the user typically must do so at the counter and then carry the vegetables to the cooking device and the waste to the sink.
- Based on the foregoing, it is desirable to provide a sink with interchangeable food preparation accessories that allow a user to prepare, cook, and serve food at the sink, thus minimizing the amount of movement around the kitchen required of the user.
- It is further desirable for the sink to reduce the amount of space needed in a kitchen by combining a sink, a cooking device, and counter space into one super-functional space.
- It is further desirable for the interchangeable food preparation accessories to slide across the sink relative to each other and to the sink to further increase the ease of cooking and the reduction of movement in the kitchen.
- In general, in a first aspect, the invention relates to a sink comprising: a bottom, a back wall, a front wall, a right side wall, and a left side wall; a drain in the bottom; a back upper tier accessory rail located along the top of the back wall; a front upper tier accessory rail located along the top of the front a back lower tier accessory rail located on the back wall, where the back lower tier accessory rail is lower than the back upper tier accessory rail; a front lower tier accessory rail located on the front wall, where the front lower tier accessory rail is lower than the front upper tier accessory rail; and at least one upper accessory sized to rest on the back upper tier accessory rail and the front upper tier accessory rail such that the accessory may slide along the back upper tier accessory rail and the front upper tier accessory rail. The sink may further comprise at least one lower accessory sized to rest on the back lower tier accessory rail and the front lower tier accessory rail such that the accessory may slide along the back lower tier accessory rail and the front lower tier accessory rail. The accessories may be: a cutting board; a platform with a hole and a bowl or colander where the bowl or colander has a body with a diameter smaller than the hole in the platform and a lip with a diameter larger than the hole in the platform such that the bowl or colander may extend through the hole in the platform with the lip resting atop the platform; a drain rack; a condiment pallet; or any combination thereof. The at least one upper accessory may be a cutting board, further comprising an induction cook top resting atop the cutting board.
- The back wall may have a stair step pattern, such that the back wall extends vertically upward from the bottom, bends at a first height to extend outward horizontally away from the front wall to form the back lower tier accessory rail, bends again to extend vertically upward, and finally bends again at a second height to extend outward horizontally away from the front wall to form the back upper tier accessory rail. The front wall may also have a stair step pattern, such that the back wall extends vertically upward from the bottom, bends at the first height to extend outward horizontally away from the back wall to form the front lower tier accessory rail, bends again to extend vertically upward, and finally bends again at the second height to extend outward horizontally away from the back wall to form the front upper tier accessory rail. The sink may further comprise a sound undercoating and/or sound dampening pads. The sink may further comprising a countertop under which the sink is mounted, a cabinet atop which the countertop is mounted, and at least one drop support cleat attached to the cabinet and supporting the sink.
