What do you have on your kitchen worktop?

I was hoping earlier to make some more space on the kitchen worktops, but am struggling with the appliances which seem to take up so much space.

What do others have on their worktops?

    Microwave
    Coffee maker
    Kettle
    Ninja blender thing

    Everything else such as toaster, mini food processor, slow cooker, juicer, live in a cupboard as I don't use these as often.

    I have a tiny kitchen so have to keep it tidy and put things away. I am blessed with a pantry which I keep all dry goods plus electric whisk etc in.

    I've got the kettle, microwave (although that's across a deep corner which is useless otherwise), coffee machine, kenwood, knife block, trivet and utensil pot that are always there

    plus the assorted carp that I haven't currently put away on a given day.

    I only have a very small amount of workspace in my kitchen - on the main bit of worktop I have the toaster and kettle, and a mug tree. On the opposite side, next to the cooker, is a knife block, utensil holder and salt pig. That's it - everything else has to live in the cupboards!

    Next to the hob, oils and salt and pepper

    Then the other side of the sink is the kettle

    Then around the far side ( directly behind the cooker) microwave and magimix

    Other then my sliding chopping board, everything else has cupboard space and get put away

    The magimix lives out because I use it constantly and it's a thing of beauty :)

    Kettle, microwave, toaster, chopping boards in an upright holder, wooden spoons/spatulas etc. Occasionally half a bottle of red wine to be finished.

    The breadmaker, deep fat fryer live in the utility room along with the iron that I last saw on moving day in 2015. :rotfl:

    Kettle, toaster, juicer, and radio.

    My microwave lives in a cupboard that has a socket in it, and breadmaker lives in the garage, as the baking smell makes me cough.

    Too much unecessary stuff. As always.

    But we cope!

    Clearout next week. But I live in hope. It kind of creeps up on you doesn't it?
