Custom Stainless Steel Sinks Made in the USA

Rachiele sinks are crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, a superior choice for corrosion resistance compared to 304 or even 316 (marine-grade) steel. Our 316L stainless prevents stains from soapy water and resists household bleach, unlike standard 304 steel, making it the best option for durability and easy maintenance. It is more scratch resistant and stronger than type 304 stainless. Read an in-depth comparison between 316L stainless and 304 stainless. Choose 316L stainless for unmatched resilience and lasting beauty in your kitchen. 

We are honored when industry professionals are impressed with the work that we do. Last year, we welcomed potential customers to our artisan shop, and among them was a gentleman who happened to work in welding at N.A.S.A. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that we use the same high-end welding equipment as N.A.S.A. After taking a tour of our facilities and witnessing our welding and finishing practices, he enthusiastically exclaimed, "Take my money!" Upon returning to work, he shared his experience with his colleagues, which led to one of his coworkers also ordering a sink from us.

What he, along with numerous others, have observed regarding our welding technique, is the extremely small size and high quality of our welds. While the method we utilize requires a considerably greater amount of time, the end result is a pristine appearance that makes it worthwhile. The clean lines contribute to the overall sleek appearance of our sinks.  This attention to detail and commitment to quality are just a couple of reasons why our sinks differ from others on the market. I am proud to show close up images of our team's work.

 Our exclusive MicroWelding approach for interior corners results in a glassy, smooth, effortlessly cleanable corner, as echoed by many of our past customers.  We shape the bottom corners into a smooth curve for effortless cleaning.

This process takes the better part of an entire day to accomplish.

 Our sinks combine beauty with functionality. Each one is designed to fit a half-sheet or steam oven pan on its ledge, offering extra workspace while you cook. Plus, all stainless steel accessories are dishwasher safe! 

Prep Tip: Use a half-sheet pan to bring grilled meat indoors, slice it up on the cutting board, and keep cleanup simple and mess-free. 

 Our hand-finished stainless steel sinks are built for worry-free use without needing a bottom grid (see photo above).The typical stainless finish seen above is quite shiny and has a linear grain pattern. Scratches pop out at you. Our less shiny, random pattern diminishes the look of scratches.  Unless you have a deep scratch, it is best to let the scratches blend together over time.  If you happen to see a deep scratch, simply rub it out gently in a random pattern and blend in with the original finish with the ScotchBrite pad we sent along with your sink, or the green and yellow sponges found just about everywhere and some liquid Barkeepers Friend. See how easy it is. 

Many other companies use the flange of the sink as a top step to create a second step for holding accessories. It is always a bad idea to have water sitting on a caulk joint, as you can see! I took this photo in a meticulously clean showroom, and even there, they had difficulty cleaning the flange and keeping the caulk from degrading.
