Kitchen Single Sink

Stainless steel Kitchen Single Sinks can generally withstand temperatures of around 200 ℃ -300 ℃. However, directly rinsing the freshly cooked hot pot in the sink may damage the sink for the following reasons:

Temperature change shock: The temperature of the newly cooked hot pot is usually above 100 ℃, while the water temperature in the sink is generally low. When the hot pot suddenly comes into contact with the sink, local thermal stress will be generated in the sink due to the rapid temperature change. Frequent such operations may cause deformation, cracking, and other issues with the stainless steel sink.

Surface damage: There may be some sharp substances at the bottom of the hot pot or friction with the surface of the sink during movement, which can easily cause scratches on the sink surface, affecting its appearance and anti fouling performance. Although stainless steel has a certain degree of hardness, its hardness decreases at high temperatures, making it more susceptible to scratches.

Accelerated aging: Long term exposure to rapid temperature changes can accelerate the aging process of stainless steel sinks, causing damage to the passivation film on their surface, reducing the corrosion resistance of the sink, and making it more prone to rusting, discoloration, and other problems.

Therefore, in order to extend the service life of the stainless steel sink, it is advisable to avoid directly rinsing the newly cooked hot pot in the sink. Instead, the hot pot can be placed on a heat-insulating pad and cooled for a while before cleaning.
