How do I replace a kitchen sink?
We have an existing undermount stainless steel sink. It is a double bowl sink. The counter is silestone. The sink is too small to be functional. We would like to replace it with a single bowl, thinking that would help. Cutting out a larger space in the counter is more money than we want to spend. The problem is we don't know what size the sink should be. The cut out in the silestone is 28 1/4" X 15 3/4" and 8" deep. Is the sink supposed to be the same size as that? We have been unable to find a sink in those dimensions.

No. The sink is slightly larger than the counter opening The sink has a lip around it that mounts under the counter.Measure your existing sink from underneath and see how it's mounted at the same time.
Your only limitations for sink size is the space available under the sink if going with another under mount sink. They should be standard sizes. William described measuring. You could also go with a sink that drops into the hole if the clearance is OK for your opening.
