Yeah…and even if I did have a dishwasher, I couldn't use it for 70% of my stuff (cast iron, carbon steel, expensive knives, etc.)

@height8 That makes sense.

I'm not sure if my enjoyment for cooking for myself is purely me enjoying cooking (which I always have liked), or whether some satisfaction also comes from knowing that I'm not giving money to rip-off restaurants.

@height8 Heh. My kitchen, on the other hand, is going to need copious amounts of bleach.

@height8 So you never cook? :o

As I always say, this kitchen was clearly designed by someone who doesn't cook. Very little about it is logical in the slightest, including the small wall-mounted heater (connected to the building supply) that's right by the window.

Would've thought the kitchen was hot enough.

There's one isolated for the microwave, and one behind me next to the toaster oven.

A photo would explain better. For reference, that's an 8" knife on the board. Just to the left of where the photo ends is the drying rack, and then a tiny sink beside that. The built-in stove is crap, so I use it as a storage space :P 2016-04-25 14.21.37.jpg

Quite. It forces me to prep everything before I get the pans in place, because there's just no manoeuvring room — even with relatively short (7–8") knives.

Not far off. I don't think I could swing more than a kitten in there, actually, and then only above my head.

I miss having a kitchen at all. Mine doesn't really qualify as one IMO…
