To compensate for limited counter space, I have to sit down at our kitchen table to prep any
food, and it's just far enough away
from the
stovetop to mean some
food might fall off the cutting board and onto the ground en route.
My husband has to eat on the go at work so we use Thermos brand
food containers: fill with boiling water for 2 - 4 min, heat soup, stew, etc as hot as possible (on
stovetop or in oven), pour boiling water out
from Thermos and fill with hot
food.
