That just looks like another thing you use a few times and then have
to look for a place to store until you can put it in a garage sale.

Yes, like my wife’s automatic rice steamer. And her bread makers. Kitchen klutter.

I have to admit we bought an air fryer, and have actually used it more
than once. It's done a good job on everything we've tried so far. Not
interested in a (not so) instant pot.

We're doing a complete kitchen remodel starting in a couple of weeks.
Demo down to sheetrock and subfloors, all new custom cabinets, granite,
appliances, new prep sink in island (where one has never existed), new
hardwoods, etc. The kitchen will be down for at least 8 weeks.

The wife was nervous about about how to survive. We have a heated and
cooled utility room with a mud room sink in it downstairs off the
garage. Countertop and shelves beside the sink, and refrigerator w/ice
maker and deep freeze also in the room. That's food storage and prep,
pots/pans and utensil cleanup and storage.

Have a gas grill with side burner, pellet grill (smoker/wood fired
convection oven), coleman 2 burner LP camp stove, evil Santa gift
electric griddle still in the box, air fryer, toaster oven, and microwave.

It will be an adventure, but I think we'll make it.

When we tore up the indoor kitchen we had our oven on a furniture
dolly out in the screen cage for about a month running on an extension
cord, until I got the country kitchen done outside. The oven has not
been inside since then. I lived on the gas grill and side burner until
I got a cook top installed inside. I was using a temporary plywood
counter until the metal fabricator got done with that stainless
counter top where the sink and cook top sit. I already had my cabinets
on site so most of the kitchen went pretty fast. The plumbing did not
change much but there was fairly extensive electrical, getting me
plenty of circuits and receptacles serving the counter tops.


Our contractor did not start ripping, until the cabinets were in the
garage, and the appliances were at the stores warehouse. We have a really
nice wet bar in a family room, so we had a sinks, and an electric skillet
on the bar top. Plus a bbq and side burner. We were only down about 3
weeks, a few days of that was waiting for the city inspectors,

Yeah, I'm questioning the time frame a bit, but we have a few more moving parts. The cabinets are being built before the demo starts and the appliances are already ordered, but we also have the flooring guys that have to do demo on the tile after the cabinet/general guys do their demo thing, then the cabinet guys have to have everything roughed in for the granite guy to take his measurements, then the cabinet/granite/tile/electrical/plumbing guys have to have all their stuff completely done for the floor guys to even start to lay hardwood (finished in place to match the rest of the hardwood), then the appliance guys to install while the stair guy installs new wrought iron balusters. Plus cleanup and inspections.

Three weeks ain't gonna cut it.
