I've been keeping up with the Force5 discussion. But, I was wondering
what you folks would do for a cooking appliance, given the space and
layout I have.

Here's the counterspace I have to work with.

I use a small single-burner Kenyon butane stove. They're inexpensive
and can be stowed easily when not in use. No cutting required. If you
want it to be permanently mounted, they sell a kit that will let you
attach it to a horizontal surface.

Mine is mounted on the reverse side of a cutting board so when not in
use the whole thing flips upside down and out of sight. (I did have to
make some small modifications to the stove to prevent it from coming
apart upside down!)

The stove uses small, disposable butane cannisters. There are some
safety considerations when using butane (I'm by no means an expert), but
there are with almost any stove. I store the cannisters in an outside
propane locker and just bring one below when I need it.

Two disadvantages: (1) only one burner. (2) the cannisters can
sometimes be tricky to get. Most marine stores carry them but I find
them much cheaper on ebay.
