The Kitchen Sink

I would vote for disposal on the smaller left side.
You dispose and remove scraps there.
The bigger side uses to wash pots and pans.

Doesn't it make sense that the food bits come off the pan while you're washing it? A large pan isn't going to fit into some tiny little prep sink so you'll never be able to rinse or soak it in the sink with the disposal. Honestly, it's idiotic to put the disposal in the sink that isn't used for dirty dishes.

Divided sinks are outdated. I think we have moved far beyond the times when you had to hand-wash dishes and conserve water by having a side for washing and a side for rinsing. You need a large sink to wash the dishes that don't fit in the dishwasher and that is the sink that needs a disposal.

Funny, as divided sinks are the new style. Older houses preWWII almost always had a single pan sink.

Like popcorn ceilings, everything has an era. Those old farmhouse sinks are back in style, now.

Scrape the food bits into the disposal on the small side, wash on the large side. How is this even a question?
