In episode 146 Prep Dish founder, Allison Schaaf, shares details of her recent kitchen remodel including favorite parts, decisions on countertops and lessons learned. Instant Hot Water: You have to be careful to warn people but it is so useful! It’s wonderful for tea, hot water with lemon, etc. I also use it a lot when washing stainless steel pots and pans as well as the kids’ water bottles to sanitize them. Countertops: We went with quartzite and, so far, are really happy with it. It’s more durable in terms of staining but has a beautiful look similar to marble. Built-in Trash & Recycling: Aesthetically, it’s nice to have it hidden but it is nice to be able to pull out the trash can during meal prep for efficiency purposes. Second Dishwasher: This hasn’t been installed yet but my favorite brand is Miele. I love that they have a cycle for wine glasses! They also have a quick cycle that I love. Lighting: We updated these to be more our preference. New Island: Having more workspace near the refrigerator has been really nice, even though I didn’t know I needed it! It feels like a more efficient setup.
