As well as the usual clutter many have mentioned I shall add cake tin a pottery egg holder vase of flowers mortar and pestle container for pens
I don’t think anyone has mentioned food recycling bin Where does everyone keep it ?

I'm wondering the same as the food recycling caddy is one of the items I also keep on the worktop

Oooh dear! It’s a small square kitchen with lower cupboards and work surfaces on 3 walls:
Rack of saucepans
Food processor
Electric can opener
Basket with vitamins etc in
Kitchen Compost holder
Microwave
Cruets
Tea
Coffee
Biscuit barrel
Kettle
Toaster
Trays between toaster and wall

The deep windowsill houses dog prep and reward items, washing up liquid etc and flasks for dog walking.

Kettle, fruit bowl, coffee/tea/sugar containers, Alexa and notepad/pen.

Can't stand clutter.

Kettle and toaster. 13 ft long.
Gosh. First time in my life I have thought of myself as a minimalist!

Can't stand clutter.

My kitchen isn't cluttered
I have lots of free worktop space to use!

Everything Panyglas said except I don’t have a teapot I have a mug of pens and pencils instead.

Do the empty the bins as well 😄

Bread bin
Mug Tree
Kettle
Kitchen roll holder
Handwash
Little Moroccan ceramic pot to hold my rings etc when I wash-up (on window-sill)

More than I need to. I have an area I jokingly refer to as my pantry where all the items like toaster, Kenwood, soup and bread maker sit. After that, pots full of wooden spoons, knives etc that I use on a regular basis. By the sink I have the compost bin and hand soap. Near the hob I have the fire blanket and paper towels. Fortunately I have a lot of cupboards, full of stuff I rarely use, but that may come in handy sometime or that the daughters may want.

Callistemon. Was not suggesting yours or anyones was cluttered. We all like different things and all have different amounts of worktops available.

We don't have a food waste bin - wish we did.

kittylester - you probably have a large kitchen and lots of worktop-space !

Just noticed some posters are including their windowsills, on mine I have indoor growing herbs, an African Violet (a cutting from our mums plant, which all of her children and grandchildren have) and a cactus (Mother’s Day present years ago which hasn’t met its demise)

As little as possible.
Coffee machine
Microwave

Everything else - toaster, bread bin, air fryer - is in the large larder cupboards. DH placed a heat proof silvery shield on the under shelves where the heat rises.

Everything like fruit bowl, coffee pods pot, biscuit jar, butter dish etc. has to be hidden due to a certain four legged friend.
