Lol, it's my Dexter murder table of course!
What you see is our kitchen counter. I usually pick my setup in the morning, when I'm making coffee, so it's convenient
A full stainless steel kitchen counter? Impressive ππ»
Eh, sounds better than it is. Looks a bit like an industrial kitchen. Definitely wouldn't have been our choice, but we're renters, not owners
After looking at images, I tend to agree. There's a bleak coldness to these counters that makes it look like a prison canteen. Nevertheless, good neutral background for your photos. ππ» I'm a renter too, but the flats/apartments over here rarely include any furniture.
Biggest difference between renting in Switzerland and Germany: The kitchen doesn't count as furniture here. Just like toilets, bathtubs/showers, it's considered part of the apartment, and only moveable stuff (MΓΆbel comes from mobil, after all) is furniture. I found it very frustrating when I lived in Germany. What the fuck am I supposed to do with my kitchen when I move out? Chances that my setup will fit the next kitchen are close to zero π
it addition to making your kitchen ...
, it's also a first class detector for damaged cables. I had a blender cable that got squeezed in a kitchen drawer and the live wire was exposed. I hadn't noticed and plugged it in. After a few seconds of moving the blender around, the live wire made contact with the stainless steel surface and with a loud arc and a puff of smoke burned a little copper-coloured crater into the surface. Good times.
The swiss way sounds like the most logical solution to the problem you named - rarely, if ever, will an old kitchen setup fit another flat's kitchen space.
The cable story sounds dangerous though, really good nothing worse has happened...
Yup, fuses++;
