You are OCD when it comes to cooking.

I gut rehabbed a kitchen and thought through all these things and had no use for a faucet above my stove. How often do I cook pasta? For myself? Pretty close to never. I stick to proteins, I really don't give a shit about vegetables and when I do cook and eat them I either buy them from the gourmet carry out or roast them. Now, my kids love noodles. And I do cook them fresh Italian noodles, because it's a better product and it cooks faster. I can handle the 5 foot walk with a pot of water.

Now, my sink is pretty close to my range. I considered things like that.

Which is also why I eschewed a "prep sink" in my kitchen island. That place is for congregating and entertaining. It's 12 feet long. It's much better looking without a hole in it and a faucet sticking up. Seating on 3 sides.

So, my advice is to shitcan the faucet and the stupid prep sink but instead to design the kitchen so everything is efficient - sink, stove, range, refrigerator, dishes, garbage, ovens. Our designer was an engineer by education and that ruled.
