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.

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. All stainless accessories are crafted for durability and are fully dishwasher safe for effortless cleanup.

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.

The photo above says it all. On the left, a typical mass-produced sink with a reflective, linear-brushed finish—every scratch stands out, even in a showroom setting. 

Our exclusive random-pattern finish not only masks scratches beautifully—it allows you to use your sink without the hassle of a bottom grid. We refer to those bottom grids as bacteria factories! No babying. No high-maintenance upkeep. Just long-lasting elegance, durability, and peace of mind.

 This showroom display may appear clean, but the flaws run deeper. Many manufacturers repurpose the sink flange as a step for accessories—a shortcut that traps water along the caulk joint. Over time, this leads to unsanitary buildup, caulk degradation, and unnecessary maintenance headaches.

Worse yet, the weld quality here is subpar: rough, inconsistent, and unfinished. Instead of a seamless interior, you’re left with a harbor for grime. This is a perfect example of why design and craftsmanship matter. At Rachiele®, we engineer every detail to eliminate these issues—ensuring true functionality, hygiene, and longevity.
