[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely wash on the side with the garbage disposal. The side without the disposal is useless. I had my double sink replaced with a big single bowl and it's life-changing. Imagine soaking a roasting rack or a cookie sheet. It was so worth it.[/quote]

We got a big single but my complaint is that the bottom is too flat and the bits and pieces don’t easily make it to the drain.  I guess this is just a PSA to anyone looking for a sink to consider the angle towards the drain.[/quote]
It's a bit much to expect the sink to clean itself. I use the sprayer attachment to force the bits into the drain and I never found it to be a problem. You can also just use a utensil (presumably just before it gets washed) to move the debris to the drain. The double-bowl sink became obsolete when the dishwasher was invented. 
As far as garbage disposals go, if you have a septic tank or if you have old pipes that might not be sized or sloped properly, you should avoid using the disposal. You should never send fat down the drain if it becomes solid when it cools. Disposal motors can go bad so if yours doesn't work properly then consider having it replaced. It's a relatively small job.[/quote]
