The addition of a full-sized crock pot, an electric frying pan, and a rapid grill will provide a range of techniques for creating truly gourmet meals. Forget the stove, a holdover from the late 19th century, when this kitchen behemoth serves as a source for heat, hot water for bathing and laundry, and bad cooking. Put butcherblock on top, clean the oven one last time and use it to store equipment, and never bend over for the broiler again. For efficient cooking, the small electrical appliance kitchen needs at least two seperate 20 amp 110 circuits, preferably with GFI outlets. A third is ideal.
Good quality plugging strips also make things safer.
If there s a 220 volt stove outlet, get a splitter and convert it into 2 individual 110 circuit just for cooking. In either case, plug the microwave into one circuit, and other appliances into the other. A crock pop can usually share with the microwave, but the other devices need to be run one at a time. Learn to use the various cooking levels of your oven and become familiar with the timer. Sequence the use of various devices to cook efficiently, taking advantage of the recommended waiting time after the oven has stopped.
