Kitchen pictures thread - Show us your kitchens!

It was about the fact that the really important things are basics and the rest is accessories. I don’t understand why I defend something I call that.

One should rather have less of the accessories than more. I won’t say more.

And again the standard discussion of a TM owner.

The great TM makes all other devices obsolete and you feel so much better and everything is much more sensible.

Too bad that you can often buy the other devices again and again at the absolutely exaggerated price of the TM and that there are people who prefer to cook the classic way.

And how did we get there?

Because someone showed a beautiful kitchen and treated themselves to a few more sockets.

I also have more sockets in our kitchen than are really in use. But for that, I can use my hand blender or the food processor at any spot in my kitchen, or sometimes on the counter instead of the usual place.

Not everyone installs only the sockets in the kitchen that are immediately fully occupied.

We have 20 sockets in the kitchen and that is optimal. Most of them are already in use, some are there to be able to plug in flexibly anywhere.

18 sockets + 2 USB + sockets for refrigerator and co

It is important to think about workflows when planning the kitchen, what goes where, what I store where, and where I still have ideas for future expansions.
In the process, you can also adjust the order of cabinets, etc., because you realize that you prefer spices/pantry items there, preparation items there, and so on.

And then, at every spot where you want to place appliances permanently (completely independently of what anyone else considers sensible), install as many sockets as needed so that each of these devices has its own socket plus at least one additional free socket. If this results in a power strip, you usually only see it until the kitchen is set up. Then the array of appliances hides the strip, and you are happy because you don't have a multi-socket extension there, and each device is always ready to use.

Elsewhere, at every larger work surface (from 40 cm), always at least one socket so you can flexibly use an immersion blender, hand mixer, or various other small appliances.

To the right and left of the cooktop with little distance, one socket each or in the panel in front, so that an immersion blender can be used comfortably.

And then consider where it might be that in the future you might additionally buy a steam oven or the KVA or the TM besides the oven, etc.… then plan a second (protected for large appliances) socket right there.

TM and pampered Chef are meant to be the ultimate in the kitchen
