Custom Stainless Steel Sinks Made in the USA

 The Gold Standard in Kitchen Durability

At Rachiele®, we exclusively use domestic 316L surgical-grade stainless steel—an elite material chosen for its superior corrosion and scratch resistance, strength, and longevity. Unlike standard 304 or even 316 (marine-grade) stainless, 316L resists staining from soapy water, hard water minerals, and even household bleach—making it exceptionally easy to maintain.

The sink pictured above showcases the clean, matte elegance of our hand-finished sinks. This material is not only more resilient to scratches than 304 steel, it’s also significantly more resistant to pitting and surface deterioration over time.

Choose 316L for unmatched hygiene, resilience, and lasting beauty in your kitchen.   Read an in-depth comparison between 316L stainless and 304 stainless. Choose 316L stainless for unmatched resilience and lasting beauty in your kitchen. 

 We’re always honored when industry professionals recognize the level of craftsmanship we put into our sinks. Back in 2021, NASA welding experts visited our artisan shop and were genuinely thrilled to see we use the same high-end welding equipment employed by NASA itself. After observing our welding and finishing process firsthand, one exclaimed—only half-joking—“Take my money!” He later shared his experience with colleagues, which led to another order from a fellow engineer.

What impressed them—and a more recent visit from a welding expert from Blue Origin—was the precision and control of our welding. These exceptionally fine welds require more time and skill, but the result is a cleaner, more refined sink with sleek, uninterrupted lines that speak for themselves.

This kind of detail doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of passion, patience, and an obsession with perfection. I’m proud to share close-up images of our team’s work—because when the experts take notice, you know it’s something special.

The image above highlights the precision of our exclusive MicroWelding™ technique—where each interior corner is meticulously fused and hand-finished to a glassy, seamless result. The transition from bottom to side is carefully shaped into a smooth curve, making these corners not only beautiful but remarkably easy to clean.

Unlike mass-produced sinks that rely on bulky welds or sharp junctions, our method eliminates buildup-prone crevices. This level of craftsmanship takes the better part of a full day to complete, but the reward is lasting beauty and effortless maintenance—something our customers consistently rave about.

We zoomed in on a customer-submitted photo after years of daily use. What caught our eye was the pristine condition of the MicroWelded vertical corner (upper left)—still clean, bright, and smooth.

The image hasn’t been retouched. That flawless weld you see is a testament to the precision of our MicroWelding process. The surface is so refined that debris and buildup struggle to adhere—something you can’t achieve with mass-produced or hand-tacked seams.

When we say our welds stand the test of time, we mean it—and now you can see it.

The image above shows one of our workstation sinks in action—with a walnut cutting board, a typical half-sheet pan, and a precision made sponge caddy all working in harmony. This isn’t just a sink—it’s a multi-functional prep and cleanup station.

Each Rachiele® sink is intelligently designed to support a half-sheet or steam oven pan directly on the ledge, giving you extra counterspace exactly where you need it—right at the sink. 

Prep Tip: Grill outdoors, bring your meat in on a half-sheet pan, slice it on the cutting board, and let the sink do the rest. It's functional luxury at its finest.

 “You Have No Idea Until You Use It”
Remember when the kitchen was the center of everything? When meals brought everyone together, and conversation flowed as easily as the pasta sauce? That’s what we design for. A Rachiele® sink isn’t just functional—it becomes the heartbeat of your home. Custom-built to fit your life, it quietly restores the rhythm of togetherness we all grew up with… and wish we had more of today. 

If you see a mat or grid offered with a sink, you’re looking at an inferior product. Period.

Grids and rubber mats are crutches—used to hide poor finish quality and mask scratching. Worse, they create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and mildew. You shouldn’t have to baby your sink or scrub around a filthy grate just to keep it looking decent.

At Rachiele®, we do things differently. Our proprietary random-pattern finish and our 316L stainless is more scratch resistant and dramatically reduces visible wear, so you never need a grid. No bacteria traps. No rubber mats curling at the corners. Just an open, clean, usable surface—day after day, year after year.

No gimmicks. No excuses. Just the finest sink surface in the industry—engineered for real life.

 I Took This Photo in a Luxury Showroom. The Flaws Speak for Themselves.

What you’re seeing isn’t just poor design—it’s a long-term problem waiting to happen. Many manufacturers repurpose the sink flange as a step for accessories—a shortcut that traps water along the caulk line. Over time, that means unsanitary buildup, caulk failure, and avoidable maintenance headaches.

Even worse, the welds are rough, inconsistent, and unfinished. Instead of a seamless interior, you're left with crevices that collect grime and resist cleaning.

This is exactly why craftsmanship matters. At Rachiele®, we engineer every inch with intention—eliminating failure points, maximizing usability, and creating heirloom-level quality.

As one client put it:
“I thought I had a high-end sink—until I used yours. Now I realize how many compromises I was living with.”

Luxury isn’t about the label. It’s about thoughtful design, lasting materials, and a product that truly performs.

“My previous sink was touted as the finest luxury workstation sink—and it came with a pile of flimsy, single-use accessories I hardly ever use.”

Many of the accessories only looked good for a year or less. These sinks are designed to shine in marketing photos and expensive videos—not in your kitchen. And good luck finding a warranty on any of their accessories.  We build for those who find joy in cooking, who savor the process, and who see the kitchen as a place of connection—more like an old-fashioned family gathering than just a spot to serve food.  Our accessories are few, multi-functional, and built to last. No cheap plastics. No clutter. Just purposeful design.

Accessories with real warranties.

  If cafeteria-style serving is your style, we respect that—it works for many. But at Rachiele®, we design for a different kind of kitchen experience. We’re not an “everybody” sink company. 

Our accessories aren’t dreamed up in a boardroom—they’re born from real kitchens, shaped by real cooks. Designed by Dino, an avid home chef, and inspired by feedback from hundreds of customers over the years. Many of our best ideas came directly from the people who use our sinks every day.

It’s a true collaboration—refined by experience and driven by purpose. The result? A system that simply makes sense.
