i've always had an extreme hard-on for wood stoves… recently a 6-eye with oven came up on my local yard sale fb group for $900, and i literally salivated; i'd still want the convenience of modern amenities, but the price of induction burner countertop ranges has gone way down in the last few years and it would be totally feasible in a dream kitchen to have both the lowest and highest tech stove setup. stick a free-standing double convection in there while we're at it, modern tech is the shit.
i'd like an island in addition to wraparound counters centered around a window, with industry style steel racks anywhere it wouldn't make sense to have a continuous countertop encompassing the work triangle.
the fridge would be water-access double door with a pullout bottom shelf freezer; more energy efficient and way more space if you know wtf you're doing with your stores. a separate dry storage closet that doesn't deal with the changing heat and humidity of a kitchen will double dry goods' shelf life.
cookware would be a mix of industry standard bare aluminum and french steel sautee pans, a chinese wok with accompanying burner stuck in some corner underneath the restaurant hood vent i should have mentioned earlier. le creuset enameled cast iron would make up the bulk of the actual cooking implements, but a ceramic roasting pan with high lid, a wide, low sided bare cast iron skillet, and a single high quality ceramic/teflon egg pan would be notable additions.
since it's just a fantasy i want an autoclave style dishwasher that i don't have to think about past emptying out the trap every night. 900F steam blowing at all directions means you don't have to scrub shit, and most of the pans described don't need more than a gentle sponging in a sink.

double ovens are super handy, and convection ovens with a fan you can turn off doubly so. it's like a quadruple oven setup if you think about it.
jokes aside, it's very convenient having something hot and fast for roasting but also a low anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
