The New Kitchen

It's a galley. That means nothing is more than a few steps away, and yet, there's plenty of room for lots of people--seven people were making sandwiches and standing around visiting at one time.  The butcher block side is for baking and other dry kinds of cooking and mixing.  




















The stainless steel counter side of the kitchen has the sink and stove--all the messy stuff. The sink is a 5-foot unit with all kinds of accessories, like a drain rack, a strainer and wash basin, and a cutting board that all fit into the sinks and drain board. The stove has an induction cooktop, a large oven that's both conventional and convection, and a small conventional drawer oven on the bottom. Above it is an Advantium oven that includes halogen, convection, microwave, and conventional cooking, plus warming, toasting, and all kinds of things we haven't begun to explore yet. We find ourselves using the small convection oven almost exclusively. I am away from home now, and sometimes find that I wish I were at home doing something in my kitchen. It makes me want to cook! The drawers are really big: all of my dishes fit into this drawer that is right across from thedishwasher. This is incredibly convenien. Above the fridge
is a cupboard for all the cookie sheets, trays, pitchers, and other tall things. I really should show you a picture of my tall, pull-out pantry, but formatting this is making me crazy! I finally got everything to fit into this space, so THE END!

  1. It took me forever to format this post, which is why it took forever to put it up. And this is not how it looked in draft view. But I am done! Sorry it does not look cool, but believe me, the kitchen is cool!
