A small kitchen equates to less money being required to pay for counter tops and cabinets but it also means more expensive appliances to fit the space. On Saturday, we went to Universal Appliances on Bank St for a lesson in appliances for smaller spaces. Our dishwasher is going to be miniature! There is nothing we can do about it considering that we have less than 4 ft between the fridge door and the dishwasher across from it.
The debate now is whether or not we continue with a ceramic top stove and convention oven or if we move to gas. The recommended model is the new GE Cafe series with matching microwave/fan above (yes, another small kitchen issue). Feel free to email me or post your thoughts on this.
The other option is the induction stove top. We can get a 24" or 30" stove top where the only energy used is for the exact spot where the pot sits. Darryl at Universal Appliances showed us how fast water boiled in a pan that was sitting on top of a stack of pamphlets on top of the stove surface. Speedy and the surface can be touched immediately afterwards! The price difference of a induction stove top with wall oven below is essentially the same as the GE Cafe series (gas or electric) and is a space saver. I can't help feeling that how we cook would change but apparently it is no different. Hmmmmm.... decisions....

So far we have two votes gas and one vote "I guess gas but I have never used it before"
Gas all the way if you are a cook. Better control and instant heat. As you are renovating know is the time to run a gas line.
