Kitchen design
this week. Our preferred work flow is to maximize counter top and to continue the organized efficiency theme.
We are re-purposing the stainless steel sink from the original Salty.
The stove and oven were cute but toast.
The last few years we have rented trailers in San Diego for a
family reunion vacation and our last and newest trailer was equipped with a
microwave/convection oven.
The advantage to a combo like that is that the cooking/baking does not heat up the trailer.
We are going to mount it low, where the former oven was located.
Experience also says that a 3 burner stove top is rarely used (especially with the microwave availability). A
portable conduction burner will suffice. We preferred it due to the built in safety feature, when the pan is removed the burner automatically shuts off. Burner settings are either Hi Med, Low or the exact temperature (such as 110 degrees). You choose.
When not in use, it is stored.

My favorite part of the kitchen design was cabinetry, the efficiency challenge. Knowing the appliances above, I used the
3D kitchen planner on the IKEA.com website. IKEA cabinets can be small and efficient.
We only purchased drawers and doors to keep the weight in the trailer down. The cabinet framework is part of the trailer frame design.
