What do you keep out on your kitehen worktops?

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

Aka food waste bin 😁

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.

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)

OMG I must tidy up or ask the staff Urms]🤣🤣

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.
