From "Kitchen Renovations"

In this segment host Paul Ryan tours the ultimate chef's kitchen in the home of culinary consultant Claudia Sutherland. She shows Ryan around her kitchen and points the key features she had specially put in for her workspace. - Even though this is Sutherland's own kitchen (figure A), she does prepare a lot of "product" (testing new recipes, product development, etc.) for her company from this space. Sutherland designed this kitchen, and there's ample crossover for home and professional.
Her stove (figure B) has instant heat-on and can be used as extra counter space as well. This stove also cools down quickly.She has plenty of counter space, but you can never have too much, which is why this solid-surface sink (figure C) comes in handy.Stainless steel countertops with a warming drawer (figure D) are great not only for their clean look but for the fact that a cook can place a hot pan right on top without having to use a trivet. And the warming drawer is an addition that any cook would appreciate.
Sutherland also had an extra range, but this one is gas in order to have high heat instantly.A pot-filler spigot (figure E) is another clever addition to Sutherland's kitchen.The range vent hood (figure F) has mega BTUs that can handle any amount of steam, smoke and smell from cooking. The hood also featured heat lamps for warming food.Pull-out cabinets (figure G --at the bottom) are perfect for storage, and notice the wood cabinets above and color cabinets below.
Sutherland's refrigerator (figure H -- one of four) has a built-in appearance for aesthetic value and more floor space.Opposite the kitchen is an area (figure I) where Sutherland does her baking and pastries. It features a taller counter in order to roll out pastry dough, a built-in small refrigerator in order to store only the items needed for baking and cabinets that have all the ingredients for baking (flour, salt, etc.).Sutherland said she saved the best for last on this tour of her amazing kitchen. This is her stone-hearth oven (figure J), and it's similar to all the wood-burning pizza ovens in most restaurants. The advantage of this particular stove is that you don't have the wood but still get the high temperatures (up to 700 degrees) needed for baking bread, pizza, etc.
In the final segment of Pt. 1 of our "Chef's Kitchen" renovation, the demolition process begins.
