Butcher Block Islands, Special Stove

Butcher Block Islands
These days, when people think of butcher blocks, they’re looking for more than a place to chop vegetables. Here are two multifunctional pieces:

This cart contains a single electric cooktop making it perfect for extra help in the kitchen and even outside. (butcher blocks: John Boos & Co.)

Storage is always a desired feature and some butcher block islands come equipped with shelves, drawers and baskets for fruits, vegetables and more. (butcher blocks: Catskill Craftsmen Inc.)

Bonus! Special Stove
This oven features a fifth burner in the center, or a "griddle in the middle" that allows you to prepare pancakes, tortillas and much more. The griddle can be replaced with a matching grate when you need room for more saucepan cooking. Also, the bottom drawer oven heats up to 450 degrees and is controlled separately from the primary oven. (range with griddle in the middle: GE Profile 30" Free-Standing Self Clean Convection Gas Range with Warming Drawer - JGB916SEKSS)
