One of the hassles of cooking is getting the various appliances out of the cupboards and then assembling them.

solution: install appliances underneath the kitchen bench so they can pop-up through trap doors.

       Instant minimalism! Can there be a trap door to the bin too, please?

       I've seen something similar. Within the cabinet is a shelf that raises and lowers on metal, folding arms, so one can place a heavy mixer or something on it, then just pull it out and up to the level of the counter.
I found a link.

       I quite like this; very 1950s America...

       How would you clean the appliances?

Jscotty, Dec 14 2006
  

       You can take them out for cleaning (they're probably just clamped to a pop-up shelf, easily removed) then put them back on the pop-up thingamajig so when you need to use them they're ready to go.   

       Great find, xandram!

       You could take apart an old sewing machine table for the mechanism

       Could this be voice activated? I don't just want to be a Chef, I want to be a Star Fleet Commander Chef. "Activate Can Opener".
