yep my set up also

To each his own, right? I love my double sinks. They are not like my mother's shallow, small double sinks, nor the ones we had in the '70s and '80s. They are big enough for all my pots and pans, and I can fill a sink full of suds to hand-wash the Christmas dishes and not have to store a plastic dishwashing pan somewhere.

I have used my disposal for 40 years with no problems. Yes, there are some things that just don't work in a disposal but the key is small batches and running lots of water. If you have very old plumbing or a septic tank it may be a different story.

It appears you have 50/50 answers. I guess it all depends on personnal preference.

We have a double large stone sink, should have made it a single

I am not sure what a low divide is, but I installed a two thirds/one third double sink. The big one holds my biggest roasting pans, the small one can be used to clean out that lost plate found after you ran soapy water for the roasting pan. I have a disposal in each one which is a godsend.

It's less work to simply toss the garbage, I don't have to use any water & again, why junk up my drain system with fat from the macerated food. Let the seagulls eat it at the dump. [emoji6]

You throw that out?? That is the best part of any meal!!!

One doesn't put fat down the disposal. And I don't like the smell of rotting broccoli every time I open the bin door.

If it crawls, swims or walks there's fat in it.

The amount of fat in that's left over at our house is so tiny as to be negligible. We could live here 40 more years and not have a problem. I know because my SIL has done it in a house that's over 100 years old. And they eat a heckuva lot more meat than we do.
