There are certain aspects of cooking, such as one’s skill or technique, that can be improved upon with proper instruction and practice. You can master basic knife cuts, learn to make the perfect pie crust and become a grill master.
But when it comes to the size of your kitchen, you’re often forced to deal with the hand you’ve been dealt. Limited counter space not only restricts your room to operate when preparing meals — it also can reduce cooking creativity.
Still, there’s plenty you can do to make the most of the situation without a costly major home renovation. I spent a decade in a prewar third-floor walk-up apartment in New York City that only had about 3 feet of countertop, so I know firsthand that not all is lost.
Here are five ways to get the most out of limited counter space in your kitchen.
Free up as much space as you can
First things first, you’re going to have to make some tough decisions about what pieces of equipment you use frequently enough to warrant a permanent spot on your counter. For the highly caffeinated, a coffee maker might be at the top of the list. Lovers of beans, grains and stews might go with an Instant Pot. Big bakers will want to consider a stand mixer. People on the go might need easy access to a toaster every morning. It’s all about how you cook and what works best for you. The only appliances that stay out in my kitchen are my air fryer and seltzer maker. Everything else should find a home in a cabinet or pantry, to be brought out only when needed.
