I HATE things on the counter. I would like to have bare minimum (like just the coffee maker and a bowl of fruit) but I lost when it came to the the big honking bread box. sigh

Unless I am being super lazy, everything usually gets put away. Keurig stays out, of course. It annoys the hell out of my partner when I put the toaster away, but I prefer the extra counter space.

Do you unplug appliances when not in use? |

My big Kitchenaid mixer is always out and the Keurig but pretty much everything else is hidden away under the counter. xJackhammer would really like it if the toaster could stay out but we use it so rarely that I can't oblige!! LOL.
And YES, appliances are unplugged when not in use!!

Really hate "stuff" floating around on counters, though it still happens occasionally.
Coffee pot, cutting board, knife set on the counter. I got rid of most small appliances a few years back. I figure most food that I like really only takes a good knife and a pot.  I do still own a high speed blender, rice cooker (which is a great multi-tasker), and a mandolin for bulk chopping. They all live in the pantry.I leave the coffee pot plugged in. |

Rice Cooker questions
Assumptions: The love of the rice cooker is motivated by its ability to make rice sticky. Is this correct? If so, my question is if it will make brown rice sticky?

I only know the brand of white rice I use for sticky rice, not the variety, so I'm not much help, but try a variety of short to medium grain brown rices and one of them is bound to be sticky. If you succeed in finding out the variety of white rice commonly used to make sticky rice, you will then know the best brown sticky rice, too, as the difference between white and brown is just how the rice is milled/how much of the bran is left intact.

The slow juicer, blender and the French press stay out; the other small appliances, panini grill, rotisserie, canner etc. are stored out of sight.
I have packed up the microwave, toaster and electric can opener and will sell them as a package deal as part of my effort towards better health(the microwave) and minimizing. And yes, appliances remain unplugged until needed.

 I've been known to cook pretty much anything in it. Roger Ebert can too. I just recently found out about his obsession with them, and he can't eat. Go figure.*Staying with the theme of unimportant answers* ETA: I'm talking about "sticky rice" for sushi or fruit deserts. If your talking wallpaper paste just use short grain brown rice, add too much water and cook it too long. My mother has this down to a science. |

I have a "garage" for the toaster, the can opener, and a popcorn popper. The Foreman grill lives on the counter because I use it every day. Everything else has a cupboard space.

I keep a lot of stuff out on my counters (small appliances, knife stand, cooking utensils all in a container, potholders all in a container, cutting boards all set up vertically behind the knife stand, etc.). I like everything to be within easy reach, as I'm sort of a wandering, random-idea-having cook. I have a lot of counter space, finally, in this house, and I put it ALL to good use.
