I love my kitchen, part two

Let us continue this journey of discovery.

Next to the sink, we have the baking cabinet.  Looks innocent enough, right?


But it has a secret. It was something we splurged on but something that was very important to us.


Those wonderful shelves go all the way into the corner and pull out entirely!


Is that cool, or what?

Turning the corner, we have lots of drawers.  They are very deep and very stabile. And very easy to use, much much easier than cabinets.  In fact, it is very unusual to find lower cabinets today.


And next comes the cooktop.


You will notice that the backsplash all around is the same material as the countertop. You can't really see the cooktop here, but you can see the lovely ventilator. (Is that what its called in english?)

And now on to the cooktop.  It is an induction cooktop, which means it works on magnetic priniciples or something like that, all of which is totally beyond me.  All I know is, it is fast, you can use almost any size pan anywhere, and only the portion of the cooktop immediately under the pan gets hot.


There are three huge drawers underneath it, too.  The top one has a divider and is used for spices and cooking utensils.


The next two have pots and pans.


So let's close out with some general shots.  Here, the sink, window, little shelves, etc. Same curtain as in the old kitchen, but new curtain rod.



The stove area:


And the "tall wall" with the Coffee Counter:


And I made the first batch of muffins today! So now I have used all the new appliances and they all work. I still haven't quite memorized where everything is, but it is getting better and better.
