2) Cork or linoleum (Marmoleum) floors are superior to hardwood. Easy on the knees and back, naturally antimircobial (Marmoleum is the flooring used in operating rooms and on many hospital floors), and great if you have dogs--claw marks don't show up and spilled water won't ruin the floors.[/quote]

This is my very top recommendation for people who actually cook. Have had both surfaces, love them both, could never go back to anything harder.

My other top recommendation is stainless countertops. They are so practical, so easy to clean. Ours is a single piece of fabricated steel that includes our (huge, deep) sink and drainboard. It’s expensive but absolutely worth it.

We also have soapstone on our peninsula, which is very practical in terms of heat resistance and resistance to microbes. It does scratch easily, though, so if that bothers you aesthetically, it’s not for you. But we love it, as do our friends who cook a ton.

If you are tight on space, consider a speed oven as your second oven. It’s a small, full-function oven that does convection cooking/roasting and doubles as a microwave. Great for roasting vegetables, defrosting/warming, etc. [/quote]
