[quote=Brutus]Good design principles suggest that the sink, stove, and refrigerator be positioned so they form a triangle if you draw a line from each appliance to the others. This makes it easy to work in that kitchen because you can turn from one to the next with ease.

…and drop everything on the floor while you transition from frig, to sink to stove and back to sink and back to frig…..For me, I hate kitchens with a sink detached from a counter that isn’t connected to a stove..Especially when working with stuff that you have to wash in the sink, then cut on a cutting board, and then put into wok/pan/pot etc thereafter…
…If they three aren’t connected together.. Then you end up not only have to cleanup the counter but the counter + floors. And if you have wood floors…That really sucks… Plus when you’re preparing a lot of food, it’s a PITA after you wash to not be able to just slide the crap you washed onto a cutting board that next to the sink and then not be able to slide the entire damn cutting board next to the stove…
For that matter ,I hate kitchens with a sink or oven in the center island, no matter how close it might be to the stove or fridge.
