My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How can I hide my toaster oven?

8 years ago
Our kitchen is small and countertop space is very limited. I am looking for a way to hide the toaster oven while still being able to easily access it. We use the small oven most days.
I would like some type of shelf that drops down and out of a upper cabinet cabinet, much like the pop up shelf for a mixer. But, I haven’t seen anything like this.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for ideas-

    Leave it be or put it into an adjacent pantry. You aren’t going to retrofit anything like that. If you did, the electrical safety cutoff switch that would need to be integrated into that would cost you about 1K by the time the electrician left. You would not want anyone to accidentally close a heat producing appliance behind combustible materials while it was still operating. Fire hazard.
