I intend on doing some extreme overkill on the outlets. What I intend on
having is 2 split duplex outlets and a single switched outlet for every 4
feet of counter space. That's right, there will be a triple gang box containing
4 unswitched outlets and 1 switched outlet and each outlet will have a
separate breaker for a total of 5 circuits.
What are the switched ones for?
Some kitchen appliances have a cord and to turn them on and off, you have to
plug them in and unplug them. My wife would like to have them plugged into
a switched outlet and have the switch that controls the outlet immediately
above the outlet. (Think popcorn popper and deep fryer).
I'm not so sure I like the idea of using a wall switch to turn on/off
an appliance like a deep fryer. It would seem too easy for someone
to turn the switch on, not realizing what it's for, and then have
someone try to move the fryer, not realizing it was hot. Or having it
turned on accidentally when it had no oil in it, etc.
