| Trying to pick a sink for our new kitchen. I love the look of granite, but I am worried about the potential for cracking with boiling water. |

| We have granite counter tops with a stainless sink. I've actually never heard of a granite sink before but I would be amazed if boiling water would make it crack. |

| Never heard of a granite sink. Wouldn't it be porous?? Stainless is the most sanitary. |

They're also called composite sinks

| Stainless. I think it would be very easy to chip/crack a granite sink. |

| I thought the granite sinks were actually composite. Granite is not waterproof so I can't image anyone would make a sink out of solid granite. When I saw the composite sinks in the store, I was underwhelmed, especially since they had very high price tags. I got the stainless. |

We had a cast iron sink in our last house and I absolutely loved it.
Now we're going with stainless. I guess it's okay, but I hate how it looks like it always has a film on it, even when it's clean. I would go with stainless over granite though. |

That would look great for a couple months...but stainless scratches too easily for it to look good long term. |

| Why not a white porcelain sink? It's cleans up to a sparkling white. |
