in some european countries, the dishes are generally washed in a separate tub placed inside the sink. this practice may have started as a matter of hygiene, as the kitchen sink was the only sink available for all the household water. the clothes were washed in the sink; the water used to wash the floor went down the sink, and so it made sense to separate the dishwater from the sink. there were two other possible reasons: first, kitchen sinks tended to be very large in a time when heating water was considered to be a major household expense; a tub used less water. second, kitchen sinks were usually made of hard ceramic; any contact between the sink and plates was likely to cause chips, but a tub could be made of more forgiving material. using a separate washing-up bowl in the sink also provides a place (down the gap between bowl and sink) to dispose of unfinished drink, soaking-water, etc. using the gap for disposal of waste water requires extra vigilance to make sure food particles and other waste are not trapped under the bowl.
