Hi Lois and crmsici:
Just a standard above-the-fridge compartment. Minestrone's my fave!
When I'm on a job and have use of the kitchen, it's a good opportunity to cook ahead. My own studio kitchen is small and has no built-ins, nor is there running water. As a result, prep is difficult. Having an all-singing-all-dancing kitchen (on the job) allows me multiple range burners as well as a vegetable sink, too, and LOTS of counter space to spread out over.
THANKS!
