About this episode
We have a listener question that we’re going to do for the podcast today on kitchen space planning. One of our listeners asked us a few questions on this issue and said “I don’t think you can name names when it comes to appliances, but I’m wondering if you could touch on general considerations like how do I know what size range to buy?” We discuss different brands and answer another question about kitchen sink size and what to buy. We had a lot of fun with this one, so we hope you guys listen and enjoy!

  • What range to buy 1:25
  • The Cafe Stove from GE 10:15
  • Buying a kitchen sink 12:40
  • Counter depth or standard refrigerators? 15:00
  • Splurging on an appliance like an ice maker, steam oven, or in-wall coffee machine 18:20
  • Microwave placement and matching 23:40
  • Hood size vs range size 30:00
“I think you know when you’re in a home, I’m in a small kitchen, I call it my camper kitchen because we haven’t done anything to this house, because I wanna tear it down and I wanna build my dream kitchen, so right now I have a small kitchen, so anything larger than a 30” range wouldn’t make sense in my kitchen. It wouldn’t fit, so if you know you’re a small kitchen, you know you’re gonna be a 30 inch range, 36 range, probably not a 48 inch. If you’re getting to a moderate sized kitchen, you can tease with 48 inches.” 1:43
