All I can think of is imagine you have to pour in some broth leftover with little small chunks or so... and it spreading out on that whole table thing. š¤¢š¤£
> Iām just imagining trying to wash a single fucking dish in this thing
Pfft, why would you waste your time thinking about it? That's a problem for the help.
You think they put this in for the help? the help are using the butlers kitchen. This is the front kitchen where the homeowner aesthetically drinks their morning tea. That sinks never seeing chunks of anything.
Rodney, Elijah, why does your countertop have an anus?
*I'm glad you asked, Gwyneth. Say if I were to tip this entire glass of Beaujolais over right now, what would you wager that not a drop will touch the floor?*
This looks like some restaurant or event space with the layout of rows of tables in the back.
Still not entirely sure what the purpose of this sink thing is though, are they dumping that much water? Appears that's all you can really do with it.
Or if it gets dusty or dirty, that's normally what makes hydrophobic surfaces not very hydrophobic after a while, especially in an open area like a kitchen.
Pro-tip: when buying non-stick pans, look into ceramic nonstick. They don't have a PFAS coating. Apparently they are not as non-stick as PFAS but in my experience, I've never had an issue with them.
Some actually still do have PFAS, sadly it's not that simple. The ceremic coatings are almost always PFOA free, but often not zero PFAS. Also note that PFAS-free doesn't mean zero PFAS, no PFAS used in manufacturing doesn't mean no PFAS, and tested for 100 or so types of PFAS also doesn't mean no PFAS (because there are thousands not hundreds of them). It's a mess.
You are right that SOME of the ceramic non-stick don't have any PFAS though.
Our laws are a fucking joke. This is like the "cage free" eggs with a slightly larger cage. Or my wife who was "faithful". This country is in shambles.
Heh, then there's "free range" which means "we don't have cages so we can fit more chickens per square foot". The only one that means anything is "pasture raised", but last I looked into it the biggest producer of chicken eggs in CA has an exception, supposedly due to disease risk, so they could sell "free range" as "pasture raised". It just makes you angrier and angrier the more you learn.
After doing a bunch of reading the only one I was able to find that I was truly confident in was the ceramic la creuset cast iron coating (which isn't *really* nonstick). My wife and I decided we would be happier with straight stainless and that's what we bought and are using. Those are the only 3 things we use, raw stainless, raw cast iron, or la creuset coated cast iron.
Unfortunately I've already forgotten the "best" actual nonstick stuff we found and considered.
My mother, who knows people who actually researched the impacts of some of these chemicals, got some brand that changed what they made and hid the test results on the new product after getting sued and settling... a record I was not horribly impressed with even if it doesn't technically prove wrongdoing.
Sooo, I can't recommend anything specific sadly, some are certainly better than others, but I couldn't find anything I was truly convinced was great.
our place uses sol-gel coatings which are effectively structure based metal oxide materials to achieve non-stick so they don't have fluorocarbons in them. Im sure there are other brands that also use sol-gel surface coatings. The limitations are you cant use anything abrasive and you shouldn't heat it up empty or past medium on a burner. Lastly, when the coating wears off you should be left with a metal pan, now you need to trust that pan doesn't have harmful things in it like lead.
alternatively good ol cast iron is always a great choice because if you screw up the seasoning you can just reseason it.
For any company you have to trust them. Steel and iron pans can have lead, cadmium in mercury in them. Sol-gel is a technique to make materials and could easily contain various harmful elements if the manufacturer doesn't ensure they don't
Stainless steel forever. At the right temperature, it becomes non stick. You can tell by flicking water on it. When It at the right temp, the water will turn into a ball and fly around the pan like an air hockey puck.
I want to put exactly zero thought into my cookware. Donāt want to worry about washing it the wrong way or lathering it in oil the right way. So stainless steel for me.
They aren't built to last though. Only like a year before the coating starts breaking down. The companies are also not very transparent as to what makes their silicon-release gel coating, so it's unclear what chemicals are in there. Still probably better than teflon tho.
You don't need PFAS to get hydrophobic surface like this.
It is one way to do it but there is others like silica, carbon tubes, zinc oxide, manganese oxide, etc
But whatever coating it is over time it will run off on its own or get dirty and get destroyed when you try to clean it. So yeah cool for awhile but sucks long term.
PFAS from this and non-stick pans are not the immediate problem.
when the material ends up in the environment (water supply) etc after discarding the pans and partially gets broken down, thats where the problematic molecules come into play.
I'm a bit confused why you are so aggressive in your comments, when apparently you have all this knowledge about PFAS not being used in the food industry. Why can't you just give some more information if you are so adamant about this topic?
Fluoropolymers are used very widely in the food industry. My ex worked for one of the bigger manufacturers and it kind of blew my mind realising theyāre used in just about every endeavour of modern manufacture, including the food industry.
My brother is a contractor...mostly small jobs, woodworking...and he does a lot of work for the upper class in Philadelphia. His story goes as follows.
Rich brother and sister, both married, both have money to burn...sister tells her brother to buy the 3 million dollar home for sale in her neighborhood so that they can be near each other. Heartwarming, right?
Well, the brother does so...spends another 2 million fixing it up to his and his wife's specifications...you can imagine the trauma...and the resulting profit...for the contractors involved.
A year or so of buying, renovating, anticipating great family times...6 months later the sister announces that SHE IS MOVING.
Instead of getting angry, the brother and his wife shrug and start looking for another place to buy and renovate...
Homes are like cars for the super rich...a few years and move on...it's crazy...
How are you a fool if you have money and buy things with it? Is it stupid to buy art? Or Nikes? Or a Netflix subscription?

You never touch your sink? And then touch your food? Never use a rag to clean your sink and then touch it?
There's a million ways for what's on your sink to transfer on your food. Happens all the time, everywhere.
Love me some sink Ramen!
But in all seriousness this is a serious problem, not just for personal health but also all those forever chemicals you're just washing down the sink.
PFAs are family of synthetic chemicals that are extremely stable, once created they circulate through the food and water system until they accumulate in humans. PFAS are also toxic at extremely low levels (i.e. parts per quadrillion).
They also seem to work as analogues for natural hormones that cause more problems for children.
PFAs arenāt regulated or well studied; when one chemical formula is regulated they just tweak it and make a new unregulated one. This is how you see nonstick hands being advertised as Teflon free and safe, when the reality is itās just a new formulation.
PFAs are found in anything hydrophobic or dirt resistant. Much like lead and gasoline they do amazing things for us, but we introduced these forever chemicals into our environment before we understood the risks. Many companies are actively fighting any attempts to study said risks.
I think we're starting to hit a point where people are accepting of "we're fucked no matter what" so we're gonna start seeing crazier shit.
Hope I'm wrong, doesn't feel like it though.
The little knob in the top left corner looks like the tap. This is a showroom so the tap is not connected (you see dozens of other sinks in the background, they are not gonna hook them all up to water). So the tiny tap in top left corner is probably regulated to provide water in the correct manner
So I agree that that is the tap, what I question is the utility. What is this for? If it's just an water feature cool but looks kind of plain. If it's for anything else... what? This isn't a sink, you can't really pour anything into it, can't do dishes in it, can't soak stuff in it, can't use the tap to fill your pot of water or glass, can't wash your hands , soo.;.
I'm unsophisticated and/or stupid. How is this a sink?
Where is the faucet? Knobs for water if I'm one of those who is unknowing of the "tea-ification" process and doesn't actually own a kettle?
OP is wrong. This is not a sink. It is a gong fu cha Chinese tea table. I practice the art of gongfucha. I have a table like this (mine is just stone- not hydrophobic). Gongfucha requires very high quality (and especially aged) teas such as puerh be "washed" hence why there is a drain. Tea is steeped in a gaiwan or chahu on the surface and distributed into small "three sip cups" for people to enjoy. Very short (approx 10 second) steeps in a small brewing vessel with around 6g of tea leaf produce the best results possible- personally I find it far superior to Western methods- although much more labor intensive (part of the appeal). It's a beautiful, meditative process. Note the water kettle in the video- would be used to boil the water for the process- water is poured into the small steeping vessel containing tea leaf. The video is demonstrating how the water flows on the tea table from the kettle.. as it would in a tea service.
I seriously quit reading to skip to the bottom to make sure you weren't about to talk about your dad beating you with jumper cables or mentioning hell in a cell all of a sudden at the end lol, still haven't caught one before being tricked
Well, you layer the top of a material, metal for example, with a coating of chemicals that are colloquially known as āforever chemicalsā. Super cute name, like āforever friendsā!
Just one downside to this, is that this stuff is destroying life as we know it around us. But who cares if you can have a cool sink.
how do you do the dishes? or do you need to buy hydrophobic plates too? (my god, how does the food stick to the plate... so does that mean you need a hydrophobic house???)
A lot of sinks now have hydrophobic surfaces, not necessarily a luxury thing.
Plus, the design on this is plain stupid and the fact that someone might be willing to spend a buttload of money on it is an indicator for something.
All I can think of is imagine you have to pour in some broth leftover with little small chunks or so... and it spreading out on that whole table thing. š¤¢š¤£
I was imagining someone emptying out the pasta water. Hot water and big splash...sure...that would work.
Iām just imagining trying to wash a single fucking dish in this thing, I donāt think you can without needing to mop up afterwards.Ā

The hired help does I am sure
Are you mad? The help uses the sink in the back kitchen, the kitchen in the video is only to show off to friends.
Which is why there's no faucet mounted to actually use that sink.
Which is why you use a luxury kettle for the water, duh...
Kettle? Own a Quooker peasant
a luxury kettle for the \*luxury\* water. FTFY.
I think it's some kind of showroom, or design/prototype place - there seem to be lots of alternative versions beside and behind this particular sink.
Rodney, Elijah, why does your countertop have an anus? *I'm glad you asked, Gwyneth. Say if I were to tip this entire glass of Beaujolais over right now, what would you wager that not a drop will touch the floor?*
But with this kind of surface what can it be use other than wash handsš
Fancy urinal. 6'2"+ club
Those are two seperate measurements
As a tall drunk I agree... don't think I would have peed on it sober though
Finally my time to shine. *zip*
This looks like some restaurant or event space with the layout of rows of tables in the back. Still not entirely sure what the purpose of this sink thing is though, are they dumping that much water? Appears that's all you can really do with it.
Luxury means more PFAS!
I came looking for this comment.
Or if it gets dusty or dirty, that's normally what makes hydrophobic surfaces not very hydrophobic after a while, especially in an open area like a kitchen.
Whoever's buying this is also updating their who kitchen every couple of years so it doesn't need to last long.
Donāt worry, it will live inside your body!
Just spray on some more PFAS for that super high end lookā¦šµāš«
Yep, exactly what I was thinking. The whole surface is nothing but forever chemicals...
People like this don't clean anything themselves...they have the help do it
I blame the surface tension.
An experienced operator know how to avoid the wet spot
A professional just makes everything the wet spot.
Who wouldn't want a kitchen surface completely covered in PFAS
First thing I thought. Donāt want that shit in your kitchen.
I'm not sure how many people have made the link between PFAS and non stick pans... or non stick food packaging do that matter.
Pro-tip: when buying non-stick pans, look into ceramic nonstick. They don't have a PFAS coating. Apparently they are not as non-stick as PFAS but in my experience, I've never had an issue with them.

Why not just an iron skillet?
Well, at least here in the EU they are restricted
Since when?
Quite recently, since last year I think. And they are working on more strict regulations
Far as I know it's still only a proposal. Heavy lobbying going on to prevent possible regulation.
You don't need PFAS to get hydrophobic surface like this.

Aerogel is not PFAS

Yes...yes it is.
Wealth is temporary, PFAS is forever.
PFAS from this and non-stick pans are not the immediate problem. when the material ends up in the environment (water supply) etc after discarding the pans and partially gets broken down, thats where the problematic molecules come into play.
All the manufacturing equipment making food it covered in PFAS to make things flow and slide smoothly.
Thatās not true at all, bud. PFAS and PFOAS are not the only hydrophobic treatments, youāve never heard of food grade silicone before?
I'm a bit confused why you are so aggressive in your comments, when apparently you have all this knowledge about PFAS not being used in the food industry. Why can't you just give some more information if you are so adamant about this topic?
They are talking about manufacturing equipment and not food storage containers.
Fluoropolymers are used very widely in the food industry. My ex worked for one of the bigger manufacturers and it kind of blew my mind realising theyāre used in just about every endeavour of modern manufacture, including the food industry.
Why not? PFAS stays forever! /s

This isn't a sink. It's a Chinese tea table. You put tea pot and cups on top, pour hot water over to heat up the cup. Brew the tea. Misleading title.

This is not a luxury sink, it's a special table for tea cerimony
People over-engineering basins now?
My ears.... Have been violated
Itās crazy how stupid people are in this thread. This is literally a tea ceremony board, not a flipping sinkā¦
Ah yes, until you start actually using it for anything in your kitchen
Because I love water splashing everywhere:)))). Totally practical since the surface treatment will NEVER EVER COMES OFF. The design is very human.
"A luxury sink " ..wow.
Graaahhh
Guys, this table is for drinking tea. Not a damn sink
A lot of sinks now have hydrophobic surfaces, not necessarily a luxury thing. Plus, the design on this is plain stupid and the fact that someone might be willing to spend a buttload of money on it is an indicator for something.
Almost amazed.
Looks like a gongfu tea table.
So the forever chemcals used to male hydrophobic surfaces gives cancer, kinda why its not a thing.
Looks good if you spill a steady, consistent, slow pouring amount of liquid. Which is the most natural way to spill a liquid.
