Wild turkey, deer, fresh fish for cleaning.
This is the sink of my dreams!
A sink full of quail eggs to be washed for pickling.
My babies, but I didn’t toss the out with the dirty water
Wildest thing in kitchen sink… The puppy and in the other (double sink) the kitty. It was bath time. Did not go well
Fish, while cleaning out their tank.
Very sleek!
santa’s head. there’s a window above my sink and he fell off since the tape got too cold to hold it up. lol.
The oddest thing we have ever put in our sink was 50 duck breasts! My husband makes duck jerkey and he cleans and seasons the breasts in our sink! Beyond duck breasts, we have had frog legs, pheasants and dove all take a soak in our sink! The joys of being married to an avid hunter!
i didn’t put it there, but i recently FOUND a slug in my sink. so gross. no idea how he got there.
I love this sink ,ineed it
A live bunny rabbit……and, NO, this was not one we were preparing to eat! We rescue abused and/or neglected domestic rabbits. Bunnies that have been bought at Easter time and their owners lose interest after Easter is over and either look to get rid of them or just let them go outside, where they die because they cannot look after themselves. I had to give one of my bunnies a quick bath once so into the sink she went and none to happy about it was she.
I collect antiques and recently cleaned a very old pair of wooden shoes in my kitchen sink. My father brought them home from Europe after serving in WWII. They were the start of my aunt’s very extensive wooden shoe collection. So much so that her husband built a room to house them!
A frog. Don’t ask me how but it came UP through the drain!
a bug i found in a raspeberry
my dog
We’ve used our kitchen sink for everything from bathing the babies, to washing a cat that unfortunately let curiosity get to it and was covered in paint, to holding the crank ice cream machine in winter when only homemade ice cream would do.
My Kids..they can be odd sometimes.
Now I am 56 years old and have had an enormous amount of things in my kitchen sink over my lifetime. I have had more than my fair share of peoples heads giving them perms, colors and cuts; I was a hairdressers as a very young adult. I have had car parts, boat parts, motor cycle parts and tons of tools in my sink for a “Kimmy Cleaning”. I have had too many wild game animals; things I never thought I would cook. We used to have a wild game party the weekend before Thanksgiving and everyone was required to bring wild game and the weirder the better. Everyone tried to out do each other; our goal was to taste EVERYTHING!!! Yes!!! All legally caught and shot, even one of the guests was a Fish and Game Warden. I have bathed dogs and cats and guinea pigs and too many homeless strays getting them ready for finding a future new home. It is, “HI!!! I am your new (or foster) mommy and mommies are the boss and you are going to do what mommies do best, let me be a mommy and give you a bath!!!!” Yet I think everyone thinks that me giving a Skunk a bath is the weirdest thing. When I was in High School my boyfriend gave me a pet skunk. She had been de-scented, but she always smelled, well skunky, so she was always having a bath. Needless to say, my mother did not like Cinder and I was required to eventually return her to my boyfriend. In my mind, this is all very normal and it is what a kitchen sink is for; to see the life of the house and keep everything clean.
Ok, let me start with a disclaimer: I was a teenager. In the early ’90′s there was a trend of dying ones hair a shocking bright color. I lived in a small town and couldn’t find “manic panic” hair dye. But I heard from a friend that you could use very concentrated cool aid. Yes, I soaked my head in the sink filled with grape cool aid. The only thing that turned purple was my scalp! I didn’t know that you were supposed to bleach your hair first to get the bright color
So that, in my case, is the oddese thing I have personally used a sink for.
I made a little bubble bath in the sink and let my baby play in it. He loved it!
I use an old rye bread recipe that’s been handed down for a few generations, and the dough sits overnight to rise, I get the best results when it has a warm place to double, and during the winter the kitchen can get quite cool, so I started putting the bread bowl in the sink filled with hot water. Convenient, but also guarantees I get the bread finished first thing in the morning so as to get the bowl out of the sink before the dough escapes.
The oddest thing, well nastiest, a turd! I was bathing my daughter in the sink, which at the time was the oddest, I didn’t know people did that, and she pooped in my sink! BLEACH, BLEACH, VINEGAR, VINEGAR, SOAP, SOAP. I need a new sink! lol. I don’t even use that side of the sink anymore.
My child.
A bubbling jack-o-lantern cauldron for my daughter’s Halloween party made from dry ice, warm water. When we added some dish soap it started oozing foamy soap for a spooky effect!
I had to put my two degus in the sink so I could wash/clean their cage and toys. It was the only place I could think of that they wouldn’t be able to climb or chew out of!
P.S. Degus are Chilean Rodents (sweet though)
A turtle. I was looking for something to put it in so the dog could watch it during the day.
My dear Maltese, JJ, used to get baths in the kitchen sink. He looked like a drowned rat when I bathed him and like a little old lady when I put the whitening shampoo on him as it had a really pretty light blue color. I miss him so………
I don’t find anything I put in my kitchen sink odd. I would like to reimagine my kithcen and this sink/faucet would fit in very well.
I accidently dropped my wine topper down the disposal and hadnt even had a glass of wine before doing it!!!
ashed my screeching cats!
my daughter all got baths in the sink when they were babies after a good scrubbing on the sinks behalf. also a rattlesnake that we cleaned.
The oddest thing I have ever put in my kitchen sink is an antique clock. We were taking it apart to fix it and wanted an enclosed place (just pop the drain basket in) where things couldn’t roll off or spring out.
Now I know what to name my “bread and butter pickles”…..”Sink Pickles” !!! When making our summer stash of bread and butter pickles I use my sink as a colander! It works great. I layer ice,the sliced cucumbers and salt in the sink and leave for 24 hours and the proceed with my recipe! It’s so much easier than using a colander and much easier to clean up! The pickles turn out great…come by when I get my new sink installed and sample some ” Kohler Apron Sink Pickles”! PS(This would make a great commercial for the sink!)
A kombucha mushroom which is used for making Kombuca tea. It looks like a pancake but also looks like “the blob”! It expands to fit the size of the container so had I left it in the sink it would have grown to the size of it and beyond! It is slimy and gross looking and my boyfriend can’t believe I actually drink the fermented “brew” that comes from it!
How do I enterpathoe
An albino frog – my daughter used to have little albino frogs and I would put them in the sink while I cleaned their aquarium.
I am an avid animal lover. Many, many years ago, a family friend brought me a baby alligator. He was sometimes placed in the kitchen sink for feeding. (For those concerned, he was soon returned to the wild, and I assume lived happily ever after!)
My fat cat who can’t clean his own backside. ew.
A shattered Pyrex dish! An early lesson in cooking…let the dish cool before running cold water on it. My landlord at the time taught me a good trick, though, to just flush the glass down the sink with water and run the disposal. Voila – quickest glass cleanup in history!
THe usual doggy getting a bath….
My cat. He rolled in the olive juice I had emptied from the jar into the sink and he needed to be washed. Mikey, the cat, l-o-v-e-d olives and olive juice!
I just put a gallon of coconut oil in hot water in the sink this week. The Kohler front sink would’ve been much easier!
clothing dye?!…. i re-dye black/dark things when i feel like they are fading!
In college I used my sink as a punch bowl. It really is the perfect punch bowl for a bunch of college kids… At the end of the night, just pull the plug and you have no bowl to clean up!
gum attached to a hanger to try to pull out a knife that went down the drain. It was a lot of gum.
I had to put MYSELF in the sink by standing in it in order to install window treatment hardware. As you can imagine, this was not easy but, I got the job done without damaging the sink or plumbing.
Mom’s wedding ring….she didn’t realize that it had slipped off her finger while washing dishes, but heard a terrible noise when she turned on the garbage disposal. It crumpled her gold band so badly that she had to buy a new one!
To be as honest as possible, I don’t ever put anything in my kitchen sink that is odd. After reading numerous articles about how kitchen sinks are often nastier than toilets, I keep mine clean as a whistle!
Would love to have this sink…Pick me!!!
