From time to time I plug up one basin of my SS sink to soak a pot in. But
the water may have chilled before the crust is loosened.

Has anyone seen or heard of insulating a sink basin, to keep the water
warmer longer?

Yes.

Some German sinks come with bituminous adhesive insulation.

But you can do it yourself far more effectively and cheaper by using
automotive spray-on sound deadening products.

Use spray foam to insulate it. Or put water in the pot and heat it on
the stove to really get it hot.

The low expansion kind, yes, good call.

I prefer automotive sound deadening and insulating products for their
superior adhesion, but your way is a bit cheaper.

I used spray on foam on the underside of a steel bathtub once. While it
worked sort of OK, I wouldn't call it a resounding success. It takes a
fair chunk of heat out of the water just to bring the cold steel tub up
to temp. It did slow down the heat loss after that initial loss though
so it would be worthwhile doing it on a sink basin.

Something like this; http://tinyurl.com/qhf6v5t

It would be worth noting that you would need to remove the sink and
invert it to do the spraying.

Maybe I am missing something. Is there a reason why cold water couldn't or
shouldn't be used to soak a pot? I ask this because I rarely have the need
to soak anything. If I do have something that has stuck onto the pot, I
just throw some baking soda over the stuck part, add a little water and
bring to a boil. Let cool and the stuck on stuff comes right off.

Hot water works more quickly.

Yep, and baking soida is an base or an alkalai, the basis for soaps.
Hot baking soda water would work very well!! Hot sodium hydroxide
water even better! Wear gloves!! ;-)

Do you often need to soak the exterior of a pot?
I generally only need to soak the interior, and
the pot forms its own basin.

You're not missing anything... Julie is more intelligent than all the
others in this thread put together, they're all MISSING an IQ... WTF
fill an entire sink to soak the INSIDE of a pot?!?!? Super DUH!

Heat rises, most of the heat loss from a vessel full of water is at
the surface... cover the top of the sink to conserve heat same as
placing a lid on a pot. My SS sink exterior is coated with sound
deadening material, but that's only to deaden the sound of clanking in
a metal sink, does pitifully little to prevent heat loss. I never
fill the entire sink to soak stuff (what a waste of hot water), for a
couple of dollars buy a plastic dishpan, the plastic insulates
naturally and the pan is small enough that it doesn't waste water and
if wanted one can easily slap on a lid of sorts; a plastic carving
board works... I have several sizes of plastic vessels for soaking
stuff, right up to five gallon buckets. Although it's a lot simpler
to place the soaking pot on the stove top and if one wants keep the
water hot with the burner on minimum heat, but soaking with room
temperature water over night does the job. Plain water usually works
(water is the universal solvent) but adding a capful of dishwashing
liquid helps cut through crusted cooking schmutz a bit quicker.

The exterior dirt gets very cooked on, especially with a gas stove.

I have a gas stove, and the exteriors of my pans do
not get very dirty. Then again, I don't fry, to
any great extent. I very occasionally have to scrub
the exterior with Bon Ami or something. The dishwasher
is usually sufficient.

We have a stainless steel frypan and I have been known to put some water
in it, add a dash of detergent to it, then place it on a hotplate to
simmer a while. That really loosens stuck particles. I find a little
stainless steel cleaner (powder form) brings the pan back to its as new
sheen.

I've read you should pay for an insulated stainless steel sink
for the noise factor.

Works more quickly like how Anacin works twice as fast as Bayer....
Bayer takes ten minutes, Anacin takes 20 minutes. Soaking a pot at
the start of dinner with cold water the schmutz is loose by the time
dinner is eaten... same with hot water only the hot water will then be
cold water... results are equal.

Automotive undercoating spray requires no such procedure.

Rather than that, just get sink with an electric heating element in
it, and you can have a sink and a crock pot in one!! ;-)

Then the question becomes "How can I insulate the outside
of a SS pot, to keep the water inside warmer longer?"

And my question also applies to frying pans, whose handle makes
them sit in the sink basin at an angle. I could soak these
overnight on the top of the stove, but then transferring them
to the sink is unwieldy.

I never put pots, pans, casserole dishes in the dishwasher but cast
iron is the one I've noticed with any build up and that took decades.
All stainless steel needs to remove any marks that soap can't remove
is a paste of baking soda.

Only my sharp knives and anything too large to fit in the dishwasher
get hand-washed. I've got some cast iron, but I rarely use it for
that reason. I should try some baking soda on my teakettle, which has
some minor buildup from my husband failing to remove it from the stove
when he cooks. Thanks for the tip.

Even better with a surfactant like detergent.

That's what I do too. Hot water and a squirt
of dishwashing liquid and generally let the
pot sit overnight. The stuck on mess just
needs a bit of time to loosen.

Well, I guess if you manage to spill a little down the outside of the
pan, or spatter a lot of grease around, it will get cooked on.
But I don't really see what a gas stove has to do with it. I've
seen plenty of electric stove owners with crudded-up pans.

He's using that non-food safe gas. I've been cooking with gas some
seventy years and have never yet needed to soak any pot's exterior, in
fact it's very rare I need to soak any pot's interior. Occasionally I
need to fill a fry pan with plain water and a few drops of dish
washing liquid, by the time dinner is done it cleans up easily. I
don't use ordinary sponges, I do all my dish/pot washing with a Dobie.

For one, I wasn't referring to automotive undercoating spray.
Secondly, not all under basin areas are easily accessible, especially at
the rear.
Removal and inversion makes the process easy and more effective.

Apply it and let it dry (I usually apply it when I'm doing the dinner
dishes so I let it sit overnight and remove it in the morning with a
the scrubbie side of a damp sponge, but just a couple of hours
works... as long as it dries. Haven't bothered to see how it works in
various stages of drying mainly because the way I do it works for me.

Most of the heat loss is going to be evaporation.

Just let the drips and overspray go anywhere. And spray foam, what a mess.
