I’m a passionate home cook trapped in an apartment with limited counter space. It’s not as bad as a NYC galley kitchen, but I don’t have much room to spare. So I’ve put a lot of thought into what items I keep out. Most make the cut because they get used almost every day (food processor, blender, toaster oven/microwave). The one exception is my beloved Kitchen Aid standing mixer, which gets a place on the counter because it’s too cumbersome to move, and I’m happy to see it! What’s hanging around on your counters?
