I'm not touching a knob first to get to my paper towels. Those mixer stands are $200 so he's not a "master builder", you buy them and top them with whatever counter material you want. It provides no work space around the bowl and ensures everything you spill goes right onto the floor which is not my preference. And the setup looks weird with no overhead cabinets. Plus you don't get 85% of a circle just because your corner doors fold in. That's not how geometry works.
This amount of space feels abnormal. Yea i have like a quarter of this cabinet space, it's all going on top of each other. I don't have room to give a kitchen aid an ENTIRE cabinet to itself, it's on top of the fridge.
The nice things about this kitchen is it isn’t done. They could totally have upper cabinets that are on back order, but after they are installed, then an island counter with wheels could be used to store some of the appliances on the countertop, and the movable counter could be placed where needed when doing food prep.
What I was hoping to see is servo motor controlled overhead cabinets that recess into the wall. You just touch the metal rim of the recessed cabinet door, and the unit slowly slides out and then at full extension, the doors automatically swing open. But it gets better. If you touch the exposed bottom shelf edge, the unit lower down 2 feet for easier access. 😏😉
And they use no wall space but instead slide into pocket dimensions. And in these pocket dimensions there is no atmosphere, so no viruses, bacteria, or roaches!
Looks like there's nothing stopping it from being slid backward onto the countertop (there's a gap between appliances for it), so it's more like a storage apparatus than a stand.
That’s what it’s designed for. I think they getting the material into the bowl is gonna suck and stuff is gonna end up on the floor. Also these days I believe a socket inside a cabinet is no longer up to code. Not sure.
That whole lift system was likely designed for stand-mixers. Assuming they purchased a system meant for their sized mixer, it'll probably be just fine.
It just drips into the cabinet. They'reore there to prevent standing water and rusting. If you're gathering so much that it needs a guided drain, you're using it wrong. You need to wring the sponges out.
It evidently pushes the shelves back into the under counter space, away from doors, when they are closed, and pulls them forward when doors are opened toward each other into a sharper angle.
The terms you're looking for are "kidney" vs "Pie cut" lazy susans - with pie cut, the doors attach to the lazy susan - most people are used to the "kidney" ones where the doors attach to the frame. With Pie Cut, you get just a *little* more usable space because the cut-out for the doors doesn't need to be as large.
If you pause it about 32 second in, you can see the doors folding towards each other and into the circle of the Lazy Susan and I think bring it forward a bit, too … so while Chris might be getting 85% of the circle (and I'd want to check the math on that figure) it appears to be a *smaller circle* than a simple 3/4 Lazy Susan in a corner cabinet would normally be. And if you're that worried about space, I'd have those two doors open /out/ and put in the biggest Lazy Susan possible in the corner.
Maybe it's just me, but using paper towels to clean or dry one's hands seems a bit wasteful, does it not? I mean, there's a sink and a kitchen towel right there for any cleaning and drying needs.
It's way more convenient to wipe your hand off with a paper towel instead of dirtying a hand towel or repeatedly washing them off for things like when you have fat or oil on your hands from cooking. For example, after forming burger patties by hand or breading chicken breasts. It's less wasteful to use some compostable paper towel sheets than wearing latex gloves while doing it like some people do.
How much do you think a kitchen towel or two thrown in with the rest of the laundry will increase my water usage? I mean, the machine will use the exact same amount of water regardless of whether the towels are in there or not.
Exactly! I always hated the amount of heat my regular oven put out and my airfryer/mini-convection/toaster/dehydrator is faster without heating my entire kitchen up. In the summer, I’m thrilled not to have to deal with all that heat! I only use my oven for large things or in winter, also.
Its an Emeril Lagasse French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo, featuring a built-in air fryer oven, toaster, food dehydrator, and rotating rotisserie.
I figured it out because I have the same appliance. These combo air fryers, convection ovens/dehydrators are fucking amazing! I haven’t used my actual regular oven in months! I’ll never not have one now! I use my airfryer and instapot more than I use my oven and microwave.

That contraption doesn’t look nearly sturdy enough to actually use that stand mixer. Imagine a bread dough whapping around on a dough hook

He says in the video that it locks. That design is meant specifically for stand mixers. I have it and it works like a dream.

That’s what it’s designed for. I think they getting the material into the bowl is gonna suck and stuff is gonna end up on the floor. Also these days I believe a socket inside a cabinet is no longer up to code. Not sure.

It's fine so long as the outlet is housed correctly and the cable is shielded.

TomahawkJackson
having doors that open out gives you what's called a "kidney" lazy susan, and you still lose more space than this "pie cut" lazy susan shape.
ATinyWaffle
The paper towel drawer is stupid. If your hands are dirty and/or wet, you have to dirty up the drawer knob in order to get at the towels.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Yeah my thought as well. A simple towel stand ain't that complicated.

Yeah I like most of the stuff shown but that was the one that stood out as just dumb and worse than almost any alternative available.

I have several kitchen towels and a washing machine. I mean, if the kitchen towel is meant to be kept clean, what's it for?

So you'd rather waste all that water by constantly washing dirtied cloth hand towels?

How much do you think a kitchen towel or two thrown in with the rest of the laundry will increase my water usage? I mean, the machine will use the exact same amount of water regardless of whether the towels are in there or not.
