Concerning kitchen design, I ended up at a party last weekend and saw quite a home kitchen setup. As you can see, they built a custom space for their Rational combi oven. Also notice their Sous Vide Supreme, Pacojet, and Vitamix. Both extreme and extremely cool.

This home kitchen looks better than some restaurant kitchen’s I’ve seen. I want that PacoJet. Come to me… NOW!!!
Meh, needs a CVap! (just kidding, I work for Winston and would love that kitchen at home + a CVap of course)
Thanks for the plug! I’m the nw chef for RATIONAL, been working with Scott. I’m sure I will meet you soon and looking forward to it. -Nick Truby
From your original design post, I had meant to recommend the following.
I have two in our low tech commoner kitchen for ordinary utensils.
But more of a selling point for you is that I have six in the workshop to hold a full array of hand tools including socket wrenches and two complete sets of sockets.
