The prep takes the longest but it's 2 hours at most and it's not standing
over a
hot stove, in between I'm doing something else while things cook usually and then just cleaning up after I've stored them
away.
We also installed a Kraus undermount sink accessorized with an InsinkErator
hot water dispenser / filtration system for those chilly winter nights when you just don't want to wait for water to heat up
over the
stove to make some
hot tea or cocoa, or for the water heater to fire up to do a few dishes since it is located so far
away from the faucet!
