I'm about to have my kitchen totally ripped apart, and I'd
appreciate any suggestions for features people have found useful
(or unuseful).  For example, from looking at existing kitchens,
I've decided to have some cabinets with sturdy pull-out shelves
with sides, to keep things from disappearing forever into the back
of the cabinets, and one cabinet with vertical dividers, for
storing trays, cutting boards, and paper bags.  Some specific
questions I have are:  Is there such a thing as a useful instance
of a "corner cabinet"?  What are the (dis)advantages of a "real
stove" vs. an oven and separate cooktop arrangement?  Do drop-in
stoves only come with electric (i.e., non-gas) cooktops?  What
about ease of cleaning drop ins vs. regular stoves?  Is the
insulation around a modern stove good enough so that I can store
anything in the surrounding cabinets without worrying about heat
affecting it?  Any other ideas?  Thanks.
