Heard some guys talking about this…
Assuming you had ample counter space, do you want small appliances - toaster, blender, panini press, etc - out on the counter or should they be put put away in a cupboard after use?
The guys were complaining that their partners wanted everything put away – even stuff they use every morning like the toaster and blender.
I’m in the middle of our kitchen reno right now and I’m gonna hang big heavy duty wire shelves in the one section. They’re gonna hold an air fryer, ice maker, toaster, etc. Might even put a kegerator under them.
The things I use should be on the counter and the things everybody else uses need to be put away.
Jk
I do both depending on how often I use the appliance and how easy it is to store. Putting everything away each time seems like a big waste of time when you use the appliance regularly.

I’m not putting a blender or toaster away after using them in the morning. Whoever wants me to can pound sand.
There is no such thing as ample counter space.
This is the way
Putting a toaster or a microwave seems insane to me. Pretty much anything else that isn’t bolted down is fair game depending on your personal preferences. I don’t know if I have any logical justification for this or if it’s just an instinct, but maybe if I think about it, the microwave is too heavy to bother moving and the toaster’s likely to drop crumbs and be more hassle than it’s worth.
Depends on how often its used. Ice maker, Coffee maker, and rice cooker, always on the countertop. Blender, instant pot, and air fryer, top of the fridge.
That’s all we have. The only other thing I’d add is a mixer, but we honestly don’t do enough baking or cooking to justify it rn. Counter space is precious.
Putting something away that’s used daily is inconvenient. Unless you have no space, I fail to see why you wouldn’t have it out.
The things that stay out at ours are the air fryer, kettle toaster.
I put stuff like stand mixer away, leave things like toaster
Only thing that stays out is the coffee pot. Everything else in the cabinets.

I do have ample space and tend to keep them on the counters with exceptions. The waffle press is out because we use it more than the blender which is away. The food processor is out though cause we use it more.
