We have an oven with steam boost function and pyrolysis (also Siemens). The steam oven is hardly ever used for baking or roasting and does not need pyrolysis since nothing sticks.


Besides using it for letting meat rest, I also use the warming drawer to warm plates and keep food warm when someone arrives late or when I mess up the timing while cooking and one part of the dish is finished too quickly.


The fully automatic machine is not my alternative, but rather a portafilter machine.
Most fully automatic machines I know are only properly maintained from the outside and mold inside. People often believe that the cleaning function is enough for a clean and healthy operation. As a guest, I often reject coffee from fully automatic machines not only because of the taste but also due to my combination of imagination and machine knowledge.

Yes, the steam oven can be smaller. I see the microwave function more in the "large" appliance.

Vacuum sealing is great. I need it rather rarely and have a device for it that I occasionally place on the countertop and then put away again.

The dishwasher is almost directly behind the sink. According to the plan, the right tall cabinet next to the fridge.
We didn't want it next to the sink because it should be at mid-height. That's why the dishwasher is in the tall cabinet. But yes, something can drip on the floor there.

: You commented that completely correctly. Whoever has such "problems" is lucky. Of course, one oven is completely sufficient for a kitchen, and we should keep things in perspective. My enthusiasm sometimes leads me down certain rabbit holes, and from time to time I drag someone along with me. As builders, we are all privileged – that must not be forgotten amidst all the additional wishes and detail wanderings.

Ultimately, the rule is: I’d rather cook happily on a 10€ stove in the garden than be dissatisfied in a "unfortunately only almost perfectly equipped" mega kitchen.

The arrangement is not ideal but the best solution if raising the height is of utmost importance. Everyone is different there. We gave up the dishwasher but we are only two people anyway.

All good, I actually found the sentence about imagination and insight into human nature genuinely funny.

Why quickly rinse? Ideally, put leftovers in the trash, preferably pushing them into the MUPL, and then just put them in the dishwasher. No need to pre-rinse.
