The [Kraus Standart Pro Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink With Grid](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Kraus+Standart+Pro+Stainless+Steel+Kitchen+Sink+With+Grid&tag=thetestedhub-20) is the workhorse. 16 gauge steel, excellent grid fit, and the sound dampening pads made it quietest of the five.

The Sinks I Tested
The [Kraus Standart Pro Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink With Grid](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Kraus+Standart+Pro+Stainless+Steel+Kitchen+Sink+With+Grid&tag=thetestedhub-20) is the workhorse. 16 gauge steel, excellent grid fit, and the sound dampening pads made it quietest of the five.
Frequently asked
Yes. The grids lift heavy pans off the basin surface and prevent the dings and dull spots that show up after years of contact. They also help dishes drain.
None of the five tested grids scratched the basin. Look for grids with rubber bumpers on every contact point and avoid bare metal feet.
